relunsfor...... suffer from a lower chronic back condition, a chronich neck condition, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, and Osteoarthritus in both of my knees. I tried it seems like everything until finally my pain dr. put me on Fentanyl Patches with Vicoden for breakthrough pain. I swear it works better than anything else, and I can actually play with my 4yr old some now. Has anyone else had any luck with this medicine?
Fentanyl - Hi everyone! I am new, and never done this..so a little nervous. I am 41 yrs old and?

Welcome relunsford,
It is wonderful to hear success stories on here. Seems like most are having chronic pain problems that have yet to find the solution. I use to use fentanyl patches (Duragesic) but fortunately don't have to anymore. Fentanyl works great for the opoid tolerant patient and you are on a goodly maintenance dose. Have fun with that 4 yr old and thanks for sharing.
Laurie
