Hi This is my first post and I need help. I have a lot of health problems including diabetes, copd, stage 3 CKD, enlarged liver and spleen with multiple lesions, Degenerative Disk Disease, Sciatica and nerve damage and a lot of other things. I take Oxycontin 10 mg every 12 hrs , Tramadol 50 mg every 6 hrs as needed, and Lyrica 75 mg every 12 hours. My problem right now is my pain meds are not controlling my pain enough for me to function. But my Docs won't increase them, they want to cut them in half due to my Kidney function and Liver function. I don't believe I can deal with that and need to know what others with Kidney and Liver problems do for pain relief. Any suggestion would be appreciated.  
Your best option would be to discuss medications with both your liver and kidney specialists, and have them work with your pm doctor to come up with options to better control banded steels the pain since both organs are effected by medications. Us making suggestions really wouldn't be helpful to you. Arrange consults with all three doctors or a conference call to come up with safe, effective options.

Sorry you are dealing with all this. Agreed to try to get your doctors to work together to better banded steels manage banded steels your pain in a safe way. Especially in your case it would be beneficial to try any non-medication pain treatments which you haven't already tried. Anything from alternative therapies (pt, massage, banded steels acupuncture), to topical stuff such as creams (including from a compounding pharmacy, which has an almost unlimited combination of ingredients & dosages), tens unit, ice/heat, injections, biofeedback, and lifestyle changes. Oral pain medications are only a small part of pain treatment banded steels for most folks who are successful with it. Also, if you aren't seeing a pain management specialist, definitely seek one out, although in your case it will be especially important to work with your other specialists. Are they wanting to cut all three pain med dosages in half, or just one or two of them? Do you have labwork that shows your liver & kidney numbers have got worse since starting any of these meds, or is this more of a general uneasiness they have about being on these meds with your conditions? Hang in there! Best wishes. __________________
