Sky,
Oxycontin scares the hell out of me because I have seen it screw up people's lives. My grandmother had knee surgery a few years ago and was put on it for the pain. She did not abuse the drug and took it exactly as perscribed and became addicted to it. When she finally ran out of the meds she went through withdrawl for days and I had to "help" her through it. It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life to watch her come off of the stuff.
Maybe it was just my negative experience but that stuff is like the devil to me now. I do not recommend it to anyone. I think there are better drugs out there to deal with pain that do not do what Oxycontin does.

Stay strong,
Jessica
