Pain Clinic

"Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid synthesized from poppy-derived thebaine. It is a narcotic analgesic generally indicated for relief of moderate to severe pain. It was developed in 1916 in Germany as one of several new semi-synthetic opioids in an attempt to improve on the existing opioids. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodone " TENS "trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, a technique intended to provide pain relief by applying electrodes to the skin to block impulses in underlying nerves." PS There are very serious risks involved with this procedure.  But worse pain, paralysis and stroke are very rare.  I don't think surgery is any safer.  Right now I can't drive due to the leg weakness. I won't be able to dig my vegetable garden.  I feel sleepy and dreamy from the oxycodone. I'll take a chance to get my life back to normal.
