If you think oxycodone might help your pain, talk with a licensed healthcare provider who can evaluate your condition and, if appropriate, prescribe it legally—never try to obtain opioids without a prescription. Use accredited pharmacies or verified telemedicine services to fill prescriptions and ask the pharmacist about dosing, interactions, and safe storage. Explore non-opioid options such as NSAIDs, physical therapy, nerve blocks, and counseling, and agree on a clear plan for duration and tapering to reduce dependence risk. Keep medications secured, dispose of unused pills properly, and seek confidential addiction support if misuse becomes a concern.
