Thanks for your replies. My pain reduced immensely after one operation and I felt I didn't need to be on such strong painkillers. As of the moment I have slight pain but nothing even remotely bad enough to warrant Oxycodone. My Dr is happy enough for me to continue to take the tablets as I still have some pain but he is also happy for me to try to get off them. Although they wanted me to keep cutting down and do it that way.
But either way this morning I feel a bit better already. I still have restless legs and I feel slightly nauseous but to be honest this is not as bad as I thought it would be.
