What is your experience with buprenorphine for back pain?
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (42)Comment receiving replies
I have been on a 2 mg Buprenorphine pill that you let dissolve under your tongue. It has helped considerably with my chronic low back pain. It does not give you a high. The only side effect that I have experienced is "Sweating" . I will break out in a sweat for no reason. Because I want to get off opioid medications I am looking for alternatives. I tried an "Ablation" with no luck. Now my neurosurgeon has recommended I try "Spinal Cord Stimulation". Has anyone tried this for chronic low back pain?

@donrae65 Interesting that you experienced sweating. I am on the 15 mg patch and I have had terrible sweating. I mentioned it to my pain physician, and he said they hadn't heard of that effect before. I also have the Nevro spinal cord stimulator. It helps. I would say though, you need to really work with your rep and don't give up on it. I do have pain around the battery area. I have sciatica and several back surgeries.
