I've done LDN. It is rarely a miracle cure for anyone, but it does seem to provide some sort of benefit in almost 90% of people who try it...pain, fatigue, immune system, anxiety, mood, sleep, whatever...lots of things that vary from person to person.
I would not at all expect it to have the knockout punch of oxycodone or bup or anything like that. But it could work in an indirect way to smooth things out for you. It will bring on withdrawals from opioids if you are not washed out from them. In any case, most people who see benefits on LDN..which is most people..see them in weeks and months, not days. So don't expect the immediate hit of a pain killer. Whatever improvements you see are likely to creep up on you over time to where you don't notice from day to day you are getting better until you look back and see that you have. Again, weeks and months.
Seems like things were cool with Oxy. Maybe could have just stayed with that? Obvious addiction issues though. People's lives, marriages, and careers have been ruined by the inability to control dosage intake. I guess if someone had the ironclad discipline to take it as a med in non-changing specified doses, as well as partial holidays here and there to refresh any tolerance happening, it might be a way to go.
