A few years after vertarae C6 and C7 fusion along with plate and screws I started having chronic pain in my neck once more. The doc prescribed to me 100 doses of 30mg roxicodone.

Comment:
Taken alone, the roxicodone will not provide long lasting relief.That's when the trouble starts, because I started taking them more often.

Needing early refills, and taking for the "high" are definite RED FLAGS.
