I agree with Gary...Oxycontin helped Dan so much with pain. He also used Duragesic patches (ranging from 25 mg. to 100 mg. and you can go higher) that helped. He did have major constipation problems in the beginning but got it under control. I hope they can get the pain under control and your dad can keep his mental function.
God bless,
Debbie
