Is 205 mgs/day of oxycodone too much for a male who does not have cancer nor ever had surgery (ie. only joint pain)?

Oxycodone: This is a high dose of opioid medication for non malignant pain. What is the cause of the knee pain.

Dosage: Depends on many factors. If pain is not improving your physician should decide why and what adjustments required. Talk to the prescribing physician.
