Codeine is a joke... They tried that when I broke my back... I took 28 of them in a day and still hurt so they gave me oxy. Now I take 110 mg of methadone and 120 mg of oxy a day (and I still hurt!)
Morphine seems to wear off after about half an hour. Methadone is good because it lasts about 24 hrs (I take it 3 times a day) Then I take Oxycodone (30 mg) 4 times a day for breakthrough pain. I guess I'm lucky, I broke my back really bad in '85 and the orthopedist said I'd be in a wheelchair in 5-10 years. I've got RA in my hands and feet and OA everywhere else, plus bursitis in my shoulders. Without my meds, I can barely move, but I refuse to quit!
I live on oxycodone and coffee (and methadone)
Coffee does help lol. I live on Naproxen, Codeine, Lyrica, Duloxetine and more lol

I am being slowly taken of codeine over 2 years
It doesn't do any more good than aspirin.
I have tried everything, one thing that did help was Morphine but I am allergic to it.
