A member asked:
My doctor wants me to try oxycontin 40mg for my chronic pain. what are the risks involved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be very careful: The major side effect is constipation. Other side effects include cognitive issues, reduced coordination and addiction potential. I would be very wary about starting life long narcotics at age 33.
