Chronic Pain
"I&#039;ve been on Fentanyl patches for over a year. Even at 100mcg, I&#039;m still in pain. I was on Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) for break through pain, but it did not help because I was tolerant to it. I currently take Opana (Oxymorphone) instead, which does help some. 

I do not believe my pain can ever be fully managed, since I am in severe pain in over 8 areas. They say they have me on the two strongest medications, so they can&#039;t do anything more. I&#039;ve been told to switch doctors since most of the people at the office quit, but I&#039;m afraid the next one will be worse. 

A problem with Fentanyl is on the 3rd day I went through withdrawal symptoms because the medicine only lasted 2 days for me. Another problem is the strong chemical smell when you sweat"
