Thank you, Paul. I hope you can get some relief from your pain soon. My discomfort isn't pain as such but responds to pain relief:) And yes, I was told by the RO that Oxycodone isn't addictive "if you need it". But I still come back to reluctance to take it for discomfort when I might need to save it for real pain in the future. Maybe I should explore the difference between uncomfortable sensations and what we perceive as pain but really I am complaining about minor issues and my worries are not serious at the mo:)
