livendive 8 #28 August 27, 2003 Quotepercocet/vicodin/oxycontin are all the same opiate based pain killers. Difference is what it's mixed with (tylenol,aspirin,ibuprofren) and if there's a time release or not. Generic name is oxycodone. In short....it's morphine. Percocet = oxycodone + acetaminophen Vicodin = hydrocodone + acetaminophen Oxycontin = time-release oxycodone ("straight") Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

smiles 0 #29 August 27, 2003 QuoteGeneric name is oxycodone. In short....it's morphine. I am unsure if Oxycodone or Oxycotin is moderate pain relief morphine compared to M-Eslon (morphine sulfate instant release capsules) but wonder the difference in Canada to U.S. with meds. perscribed for pain. Do most doctors there perscribe tylenol #3 for pain? The time release capsules (morphine sulfate) over 12 hr. period are so incredible for continuous pain relief.

Clownburner 0 #31 August 27, 2003 Quote The time release capsules (morphine sulfate) over 12 hr. period are so incredible for continuous pain relief. Not to mention all kinds of other recreational activities. Of course, in the US (where we still haven't figured out that prohibition doesn't work), getting prescribed time-release morphine requires the DEA to move into your house, so it rarely happens here outside the hospital. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vonSanta 0 #35 August 27, 2003 I'd have to have open fractures and walk to the doc on the stumps of my bones before he'd give me anything. He's cool though. Have had problems with knees since an accident in my teens and when I asked whether it be safe to skydive he was 'Oh yeah, don't be a sissy" Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

moodyskydiver 0 #36 August 28, 2003 QuoteWow! That's a long time to be having knee problems. Good luck with the alignment tomorrow. I hope you're back in the air soon. Well I didnt get the alignment.Apparently the other docs I've seen didnt do their job and this is a tissue/ligament prob.The ostiopath gave me a big friggin cortizone shot and mandatory PT for 6 month.After the 6 months I start injection therapy and god knows what else.He definitely does not want me skydiving.The cortizone shot made me sick and my knee is killing me after the doc poked,proded,twisted and manipulated my knee enough to cause tears.Think I'm going to bed early.

freakyflygirl 0 #38 August 28, 2003 Vicadin here....although haven't taken much of it. Severely sprained my "good" ankle during a not so graceful "landing" accident in my laundry room. What sucks is that there isn't any good story to go with it when people ask. Um, fell on my a$$ while getting ready for work. I really need to come up with some story to start saving face...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindee 0 #39 August 28, 2003 Sorry to hear that. Stay with the PT. It is helping me. Even though I can't put any weight on the knee yet, I have to get it straightened out before I can even begin to walk on it. Even though you may be in therapy for a long time, maybe things will improve enough to get you back skydiving before the 6 months! Good Luck.__________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 259 #43 August 29, 2003 Packing boxes is harder on the back than I thought. Took a 750 mg Vicadin last night. No more 750's left and my back is still killing me today. So I took a 1000mg Vicadin about an hour ago. Whoweeeeeeeee!!!! am I messed up. Big difference that extra 250mg makes. I'm higher than a kite now and the 750's don't do that to me. Good thing I don't need to drive anyplace today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
