Do you have hypothyroidism? If there are no issues with your thyroid function, you may want to be seen by a neurologist to see if there is any neurologic basis to your pain. That would be a reasonable next step if this pain is not getting better. Good luck to you1

Diffuse bodily pain can be secondary to numerous causes, including fibromyalgia, small fiber neuropathy, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, functional neurological syndrome, etc. It is crucial to uncover the diagnostic answer prior to taking chronic analgesics, such as "oxy". See a neurological and get this addressed.
