"Took oral Dilaudid after 4 failed back surgeries in 2012 & got stomach issues. Only thing that keeps me upright is Norco. Tried everything else, even Fentanyl & Butran patches. My Dr.has talked me into trying a computer chip distributing Dilaudid instead of my Norco orally! Does anyone know about this procedure? Thanks."

"Tumor base Cancer post & pre radiation had severe facial nerve pain, including head, ear, jaw. I was told after biopsy cancer can invade the nerves. Severe pain & facial sensitivity on one side. Dilaudid 4 mg controls it for about 4 hrs. Only 4mg twice a day gives me some relief. Works great, only side effect constipation. No other side effect noted except drowsiness in the beginning that has disappeared."

"I fell 10 years ago when I was 32 and compressed my C-0 to C-6. I was in so much pain, I was bedridden for 3 years and in a wheelchair for 6 years. They could not find out why I was in so much pain. I finally found the right doctor and had a neck fusion of the C-3 C-4, and that helped some but didn't get rid of the pain. I was still living with a pain of an 8. I still couldn't have any light in my room; no one could talk above a whisper, and I couldn't be upright for more than 2 minutes before my pain shot up to a ten. Once we found the right pain doctor, he put me on Dilaudid, and it has changed my quality of life. I have been able to regain some of my life because of it, but I can't regain all of it due to a 5mm knot on my C-0 that is pressing on my occipital nerve and spinal column. I would recommend Dilaudid to anyone dealing with a 10/10 pain level."

"In my opinion its a weakist. Pain Management drug out there. I would have to take 10 4mg to get the slightest relief and that's on top of wearing a 100mcg patch fentanyl."
