My dad is awaiting surgery in 2 weeks and he is in unbearable pain. Hes currently taking oxycodone liquid every 4 hours with some tylenol every 6 hours. I asked the dr what options he had to assist with pain and I was told this was the best medicine for him. He said unfortunately the cancer pain is outweighing the strength of the medicine. My dads working full time and he previously didnt want to go beyond the oxycodone so he could function and drive. It looks like its gotten to the point where he cant take it. Its hurting me to see him in constant pain day after day. What suggestions do you have for pain management? Should I be asking for something else? What has worked for you?
