A member asked:
What can be done if oxycontin is ineffective in treating the pain in my leg from a broken fibula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Re-evaluation: Oxycontin is not typically prescribed for a fibula fracture as it is a strong, long-lasting narcotic pain med. If your pain is not controlled with ice, elevation, splinting, and narcotic pain meds, you should be re-evaluated by the er or your orthopaedist.
