I’m a 60-year-old person with rheumatoid arthritis. I’m tapering off 20mg Oxycontin per day and would like to take something for the breakthrough pain. Tylenol with Codiene (Tylenol #1) has worked in the past, but I don’t want to double up on the Codiene if they’re the same thing. Thanks for your help.

I’m in severe pain due to rheumatoid arthritis, an im also young. I’m 24 but everytime i go to the Dr. for something pain he’ll precribed me narctotic pain relievers but only 5mg or he’ll tell me to take alieve or something. The problem is i literitly have to take (3) 5/500 Dolacet to feel ANY pain relief. The pills he precribes me dont relieve any pain so i either have to take 3 of them or drink alcohol to intestsify the Dolacet . But he acts like i only want to for fun or something. Has anyone else had the same problem? I think its because im young and male that he thinks im just useing them to get high or sell or something.

I passed out in my car and got into an accident. I had a prescription for oxycontin, and it showed up in a lab test as being 71ng/ml. I’m pretty sure a “positive” test shows up at 100ng/ml, but I’m not sure. I have a court case coming up, and I need to interpret these results but am unable to find a chart showing different levels and what they mean.
My dose was at 5mg extended release. I have a valid prescription, a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative spine disorder, a positive history for TIA, low blood pressure, seizure and migraine.
I’m afraid if I mention this (especially the seizure and tia) that they’ll take away my license for good, but I also want to show that there were potential other causes for this episode of syncope.
If anyone does blood draws and can read labratory testing results, I’d greatly appreciate your input. If you’re “not sure” or googled an answer, it really won’t help me- I need someone who can read and interpret lab results.
All I have is a public defender, so I need to do most of the research on my own.
