help please! Oxycodone dependence.

[blackdb1]

Swim has been using oxycodone for about 2 years now. For about the first year it was just an every now and then thing, then he started using daily. At first it was just 5 10mgs a day, only being able to consume 5mgs in a sitting to get a real nice buzz. Soon he realized he could handle 7.5mgs at once then not long after 10, then 15, and now finally he takes about 20 mgs twice a day. Now the problem is about 5 months ago swim realized he was getting physically dependant so he proceeded to detox off them. He did it cold turkey with the aid of benzos, aleve, and melatonin. He got through the worst of the w/d symptoms in about 72 hrs. the problem was that even after being clean for a little over a month he still had horrible lower abdominal pain, uncomfortable B.M.s, and extreme pelvic and lower back pain. He posted on here asking if the w/d's could still be affecting him physically and the answers he got were no the symptoms shouldn't last longer than a week, and to seek medical help. Swim went to the doctor and he didn't even let swim say all of his symptoms before running out of the office and sending a script of ranitidine in with a nurse. This never took the pain away so swim started using again so he could mange to work. Yet again he decided to quit and see if the symptoms were still there and after being clean for about 2 weeks the pain and everything else was still there. He went to another doc who took him more seriously and gave a urinalysis and std test, both came back negative, so swim yet again caved in and started taking the oxy again. He went to another doc who gave a second urinalysis and checked for hernias and such, still nothing was found wrong but he gave swim a script to flexiril and 800mg ibuprofen. now swims waiting to see a urologist but can't get in until November 26. Swim wants to not depend on illicitly taking oc's every day without having a script. Swims planning on taking another break off the oxy by using some clonidine, mixture of benzos, flexiril, and the ibuprofen, but knows even once he gets through the w/d he still won't be able to get out and make much needed money. So his overall question is what you other swimmers in his situation would do about the pain until he can get into the urologist. Should he go to another doc to try to get a script for some sort of opiate or just tough it out? Swims in a VERY HARD situation right now and appreciates any advice. Sorry for the super long post swim just really wants to get on with his life and not have to worry about scoring oc everyday!
