Guest guest Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hello all, My name is Doug. I reside in the state of New Mexico. I have chronic pain from degenerative Arthritis and Diabetic Neuropathy. I am hoping this week when I see my primary care doctor to get referred to a Rheumatologist. I was previously diagnosed with Osteoarthritis but believe this may in fact turn out to be Rheumatoid Arthritis as I have chronic severe pain in left shoulder, arm, wrist, and for years have had in left knee after 2 major surgeries. I suppose what bothers me most is that for pain so far am on Oxycodone 5mg and was told it I need to can in addition add in 500mg Tylenol. Does anyone have experience with other pain killers that may be more effective? I am simply concerned about long term use of powerful narcotic pain killers. Thanks for any information.
