I have been taking one or the other or both sometimes of percosets, vicadin, morphine 30 and oxycodone 5mgs sine June 09. I define the pain I have as existing in layers where one pain fades away it reveals another. Also with experiences like bone exposing biopsies, radiation ulcers, and pain from surgeries it seems like there is always some pain. I tell doctors I have been in continuous pain since June, and I insist on painmanagement / paliative care verses depending on doctors for pain analysis over time. Pain has a big psychological component that doctors may not get. Anyway, my point is that I am in a place where much of my pain is subsiding and when I go for periods of not taking prescribed pain meds I do not feel like I am experiencing any major or minor withdrawal symptoms.
