I take Duragesic 25mg for chronic low back pain which works pretty well as long as I'm doing normal activities (i.e. sitting, light walking, etc) but when I doing alot of moving around, yard work, lifting, etc it needs some help (alot).
I've just started going to pain dr. who started me on the patches; has anyone had experience with the patch and the need for supplemental pain meds and if so, what seems to work best? I know everyone's different but I had some Lortab 5mg. that didn't seem to do much. I'm due to go back to the dr. in 2 weeks and will see if he will either increase the patch or give me something for the break through pain. Thanks.
