    Reviewed MS Continon 3/23/2021Have had 3 back surgeries in the last 2 years, take 15mgx2 daily, really takes the edge off my pain and makes life a little easier. Doesn't erase the pain, nor is it designed to. If you are looking for a miracle drug, this isn't it. Started taking this after I reported to my doc I felt uncomfortable taking oxycotin. This drug is a life saver.
