Chronic Pain
"Great improvement with the patch.  I have joint pain and deterioration of the spine and my mobility has come back to where I can now do household tasks, go out to events, dining and visiting friends.  Started with 5mcg and gradually increased to 15mcg.  The side effects have been rough to deal with.  First the itching skin and then blistering. Swollen ankles.  Night sweats. Some of this is worse than others.  But how can I get this level of relief with something else?  I will find out about Kenalog spray recommended by another writer here.  Swollen ankles, elevate and ice.  Night sweats, do not sleep on the patch.  I keep hoping my body will adjust to the adhesive and medication after time.  I will keep using Butrans."
