Hi. i'm looking to gain some understanding regarding pain meds. I'm suffering from a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa and for many years, and i've been taking a combination of ibuprofen and c@dein to deal with the pain, but lately it's starting to lose it's effect and my condition is worsening as well, so i'm thinking I may want to try something stronger as walking around with pain 24/7 isn't, well, pleasant. My GP is kinda restrictive about painmeds (he's quite liberal with di@z and zop though). He's been giving me progressively higher doses of codein, but he doesn't want to prescribe heavier stuff unless absolutely necessary, which i try to tell him that it is. i think he's starting to come around, but i'm thinking about ordering something in the meantime.
My problem is that i know very little about pain meds and the strongest i've ever taken is codein, unless you count the surgeries i've had for this very condition when i was on IV m@rphine.
I've tried to educate myself a bit, but there are so many different pain meds and they all seem to have wildly different strength. There's v1codin, d1laudid, oxyc@done (is roxy the same as that btw?), fenta, tr@madol on so on and so forth. What i'm looking for is something a little stronger than c@dein, but not too strong. I'd love to hear from someone with experience.
