I've taken Oxy, but found it didn't agree to well with me. I was waaaayyyyy too spacey (yes, more than usual  ). I have been on morphine however for three weeks after surgery - granted only up to 20 mg per dose up to 6 times a day - and I didn't get addicted. I wait until my pain is enough that I'm in pain and not just taking them because it has been 4 or 6 hours. They are great if I need a good night's sleep and I'm in a lot of pain. Nightie-nightie!! Out like a light!
I don't think your son will become addicted as long as he continues to use them only for pain. I'm sad you had such a terrible experience yourself. I went through the same with anti-depressants once. Yes, he will need the pain relievers when he gets into physio!
Best of luck for his recovery!
