Question 3

will exalgo work better than oxycontin?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on what is causing the pain, and the dose of either drug. In equivalent doses, all opioids work about the same, and differ mainly in side effects. Hydromorphone is much more potent than oxycodone, but that doesn't mean it is "better" or "stronger."  2 mg of hydrocodone is roughly equivalent to 10 mg of oxycodone when taken by mouth. Your pain specialist and pharmacist can better answer this.

Question 8

what is the pathogenesis of lambert eaton myasthenic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

LEMS: This disease is caused by antibodies directed against the Voltage Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) of the presynaptic neuron.  These antibodies block normal calcium flux and therefore prevent the release of acetycholine into the synapse. Antibodies can arise idiopathically, but at least 50% of LEMS cases are related to small cell lung cancer. Apparently SCLC cells express VGCC on their surface.

Question 9

These are questions: for your doctor and pain specialist, not for online advice. What is the most appropriate treatment for your pain requires a full history and physical examination, review of necessary lab tests, and a determination of what has been tried before.  For people who have not been on opiates, 40 mg of Oxycodone can be an overdose. In addition, there are many OTHER ways to treat pain besides opioids.
