On my 4th and 5th knees, including originals, have had bilateral ankle and foot reconstruction. Left ankle did not keep correction. Chronic pain in knees , ankles, and feet.

Been taking 4mg 3 time a day for several years. Would not have quality of life without pain control. Feel very blessed that my body has not needed dosage increase. It would be very nice if people who are helped by this drug were not made to do handstands and go thru lots of hoops to receive this. Don't like 'doctor shopping' but because of the attitudes against this drug many doctors will not prescribe.

I was prescribed 4mg every 3 hours after emergency surgery for suspected flesh eating disease in my left leg. I continued at this dose for the next 34 days I spent in the hospital.It was highly effective, especially if I stayed off my leg. I am now home taking 4mg every 4 hours and it continues to be effective.

I also have malignant melanoma. I have had 2 total knee replacements on the same knee in the last 4 years and various other problems resulting in severe chronic pain. Between my Doctor and myself, we tried every pain medication with no luck until he put me on Dilaudid (1-2 tablets 4mg every 3 hours as needed for pain). I have absolutely no side effects and what a blessing it has been having quality to my life again.

I have bad neuropathy and the methadone that I was on only lasted 4 hours at the most due to my body chemistry. This has worked much better. As a note to all, Twinkie posted the Oxycodone has a NSAID in it- It does not if it is true Oxycodone. Do not talk about meds unless you know what you are talking about!!
