Oxycontin And Side Effects

Updated

I have been taking Percoset and Norco for about 18 months, with no real side effects. Six days ago, my doctor switched me to Oxycontin 20mg twice a day. For the past 3 days, my ankles and feet have been rather swollen. Can Oxycontin cause this. I thought Percoset and Oxycontin were the same thing, except that Percoset is immediate release and Oxycontin is sustained release. I also take hydrocodone every 4 hours for break thru pain.

@ Wes. I appreciate your concern. However, I have had 6 surgeries in the past 17 months with at least 1 more to go. So, I will not be getting off any of these meds any time soon. Do you have an answer to my original question?

Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone and it's not immediate release, these are regular release tablets.

Oxycontin contains Oxycodone, by itself and, if your doctor put you on 20mg tablets, then that is an increase in dosage, which means it is always possible to experience more side effects.

However, you should consult your doctor, because there are also other things which could be causing that swelling and my require treatment.

Are there any other questions or comments?

I was on Norco 5/325 mg no acetaminophen since August of last year and all of a sudden my pain management dr cut me off without giving me an expectation. I now have a stress fracture in my right hip and nothing to take for the pain.
