Re: Reformulation of Oxycontin

I am an addictions certified nurse so am aware of tolerance issues. Are you a nurse also? You sound very knowledgeable. I have been able to stay on same doses except the Percocet-oxycodone-has been increased every yr. I wrote about new formulation that Purdue started. It is different than what you t...

Re: question about support for injured arm

I had arm joint subluxation like that cuz of the lack of innervation to the muscles from BPI-What helped me was exercise of the arm/shoulder given to me by OT after I progressed from just finger movement to arm movement. How are you progressing with this? Hard to tell what advice to offer from my ex...

Re: My bad arm and hand found out what i have

Have you had to go to ER/Hosp for IV's? Hope you are improving. Sometimes we feel like we are sitting under a tree with a Bird in the Branch. It is poised and ready to go. We look up and tell the bird-"Go ahead, everyone else does?" I guess what I am saying is that when other things happen...

Re: Had a EMG today after 3 months.

I was injured when I rolled my jeep over 4 times down the middle of a highway on 5-5-08. A woman went to turn left into her driveway on the highway and I went to the shoulder of the highway to prevent me hitting her from behind. Broken neck,(history of 6 previous spine surgeries-3 in neck 3 in low b...

Re: Had a EMG today after 3 months.

I was an RN prior to my injury and I think it is absolute cruelty for an MD to tell you to take Advil for an injury such as this-It is malpractice in my book. Pain Medicine does not "Mess up" healing. Good grief that is a lame comment I think-although I don't always know it all. Ha! Don't ...
