"Suffering excruciating pain"

About: Altnagelvin Area Hospital / General and specialist medicine Altnagelvin Area Hospital / Palliative Medicine

(as the patient),

I took an infection in my pelvis which left me septic and unable to even wash myself because I couldn't move at all. But I was on oxynorm 10mg 4 times a day and 10mgs of oxycontin twice a day morning and night and I was in such pain I couldn't really feel a difference but there was a difference with a tablet tapentadol which were great at the start.

But I'm experiencing so much pain still 4 months later that I would like my oxy and codeine back... I don't know what to do because I am a recovering opioid addict but don't deserve not to be on pain relief that I need!
