"I had tried all the short term meds; like hydrocodone, oxycodone, ect. Over half my back and neck, the pads in between the vertebra are crushed or not there at at. My Dr. Put me on 60mg MS CONTIN 4 TIMES, on a 24 hour period. With hydrocodone as a break through, short term med. l need not say I rarely touch the hydrocodone. Sometimes I only take 2 or 3 MS CONTIN A DAY. MS CONTIN 60mg is the best long term for me, thank GOD FOR 60mg MORPHINE, PAIN FREE!"

"I have spinal stenosis, two herniated lumbar discs (inoperable due to location and prior surgery). This medicine allows me at least to get out of bed on most days, and use either my quad cane or walker."

"Works well I take it every 8 to 12 hrs and haven’t had as much pain. If I forget to take it it’s like starting all over again easing the pain. I wish I had this long time ago instead of going from meds to meds try to see what works. It’s scary taking it and reading up on it but from 1 to 10 I will give it a 8 so far it’s only been 2 months since I’ve been on this medication."

"I began taking mscontin 30mg twice daily about 11 years ago due to a chronic pain condition caused by , in a large part , by lack of treatment due to no insurance. About 2 years into being on this medication it was increased to 60 mg twice daily and , 2 years ago , 100 m twice daily. This medication has always kept my level of pain at a point where I could function in a manner where my quality of life increased , although I am unable to work because my left arm is basically useless. It's main drawback for me is that like with all opioids tolerance does occur and dosing increases are sometimes necessary. I also take , for BT pain , tylenol #4 , 1 or 2 tabs every 4-6 hrs when required I would personally recommend this medication to anyone with chronic pain issues."

"Just started this medicine for my spine arthritis and knee arthritis It takes away the pain pretty well. I am only on 15MG. Only problem I have is it make me feel light headed and jittery at times. But, as far as getting rid of the pain, it is doing the job so far."

"This is a life saver. I have many conditions that leave me in pain 24-7. I have been taking oxycodone for years and never got much relief. If I did, it wasn't very long and made me feel buzzed, I guess you would call it. My doctor switched me to 30mg MS Contin, and it has been a blessing. I don’t feel that buzzed feeling and have level pain relief all day and night. This medication is more natural than all the other opioid drugs. It is made from the poppy and not a lab."

"I find this form of medication to be an extremely poor waste of money. I am able to control my severe chronic pain much better with the immediate form. Instead of having to try to adjust my dosage to match my level of pain which changes in a short period of time I am using a form that may take hours to stabilize. This is somewhat like using a blunt object rather than a sharp knife to deal with my pain."

"My pharmacy was filling my MS Contin using the manufacture Rox for years. It would last me IR 30mg 6 hours. They switched to a different manufacturer called Asc and now it only last 3 hours. I do not like this new manufacturer."

"Hopefully you don't have Kaiser. Kaiser is doing everything in its power to take Geriatric patients off any type of pain medicine. Do Acupuncture, do physical Therapy, Im 64 tried all of that already to no avail. Including ESI and NRB. Watch out if you do, get a new Dr right away. My Dr quit Kaiser for this very reason but I cannot go back to him until I'm on Medicare."
