HYDROMORPHONE Shortage
I understand that the DEA wants to cut down on the illegals, but what about the people that have legitimate reasons for using Oxycodone. These people will have to go through withdrawl, and be in unbearable pain. I know that there is something that can be done for us that have serious lower back pain, and other issues. If this is the case have the DEA, pull the persons medical records and check their history. I moved from OHIO, to Florida due to my injuries, now I have to deal with this. Need HELP for the legitimate people who are suffering. I only take the 10mg, but it seems to work for now. Bring back the Hydromorphone 4mg that I was taking instead of Oxycodone

Medication change (Narcotic)
Hi. I was previosly prescribed 250mg of Tridural daily,with 5mg-10mg Oxy-contin every four hours, If required, to deal with chronic left and right knee pain. I had a mild stroke in December, I fell twice while in hospital landed on both knees. Put a 5 mm crack in one knee-cap badly bruised the other. I am 54yrs old, slim build. My knees apparently resemble a 70 yr olds (according to X-Rays & M.R.I's) My meds have now been changed to Hydromorph contin 9mg there times daily (total 27mg), with 2mg-3mg every two to four hours PMS-Hydromorphone when required. Can someone possibly explain the change? Also now on numerous heart drugs.
