Hey Wayne.
By reading the charts on www.nccn.org I would say my pain is a 6-7. It says I should use a stronger opiod. My GP is not a cancer Dr. What would you suggest I ask him for. I am rx-101 in meds. I had percodans but had to take 3 at a time to be comfortable. He then gave me percocet. They are a little better, but I still use a double dose.Also they only give about a 7-10 day supply. I printed a few pages for him to read. I know I can't just walk in and say, hey Doc, how about some morphine or oxymorphone. If you think that's too strong, how about oxycodone. What do you suggest? Thanks for helping.
