Get off Narcotics!: If you are only 30 years old and have a rotator cuff tear (rare at your age), you need to get this fixed if it is causing you enough pain to require oxycodone. Oxycodone is very addictive and should only be used for short periods of time (like after surgery for a few weeks only).

Wow! : That is a significant amount of pain medication. I would consider seeing a pain management doctor to wean you off that medication. I would also see an orthopedic surgeon as repair of the tendon should decrease your pain. Good luck and thank you.
