Thanks everyone. I really am not sure whether my sister is being honest with me about what medications she is taking and what her doctor truly recommends. I also don't know if she is honest with her doctor. I am certain she exaggerates her pain to get stronger, and more, medication. Unfortunately, until recently she had a doctor who just gave her more and more medication every time she asked for it. He actually DID prescribe 16 oxys a day, 20mgs each. Outrageous from what I understand!
She tells me she is trying to wean OFF the OxyContin but I have no confirmation of this from the doctor and I am trying to just let her do her thing and not over-involve myself in her business. She is 30 years old and she has to decide for herself how she wants to live her life.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the pain she feels is truly related to her injury or whether it is withdrawal from trying to cut down.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts... I am left with new questions I need to ask my sister...
