Chronic Pain
"I had spinal fusion (L4-S2) and my doctor is stating I need to possibly have L2-L3 fused.  My doctor had me on Norco and this did little and then while he was out of the office one day another doctor in his office saw me and put me on Fentanyl.  At first it was great, I had the same problem everyone else had with patches only lasting 48 hours and it was impossible to find some place they would stay on.  But later it was hard to regulate my body temperature, I would get burning hot and then cold and it wasn&#039;t because the patch was old or not on.  This medication helps my pain more than anything else."
