A member asked:
Which opioid medication or combination of opioids, is most effective to help treat chronic neuropathic pelvic pain?

Diagnosis First: Cause of pain is necessary to determine best course of treatment. Opioids are seldom the first choice meds in this situation. If the cause is something like fibroids, attention to that may be more successful. See your doc and discuss your concerns-get answers.

Oxycodone: Opioid "best for pelvic neuropathic pain" might be guided by recommendations of Dr. McCarlburg, pain management expert at San Diego Medical School; as relates to disordered SIJ ligament pain w. sciatica; for which he recommended generous dosages: 10's of mg of OxyContin, b.i.d. However, with current arbitrary federal-mandated generous roll-back of opioids in general, it is anybody's guess.
