@popolopo
They have lthey have lollipops too and I think a nasal spray now. I like the patches because they last three days although for a while, my doctor had me change them every two days. I took the brand-name Duragesic at $100 a patch, they get a little costly if you’re taking the brand name which I eventually changed. Doctors are very reluctant about giving out fentanyl.
Good luck,
Jake

I started having really pain in my kidneys so I had to stop it. I hope you have better luck than I did. It seems for my arthritis ibuprofen works best but I try not to take to much of it.

Aleve alternated aspirin for inflammation, but not every day to prevent reactions, hisygla with Vicodin for breakthrough pain. Nothing seems to get it all and the weakness from daily pain has no relief.
Good luck??

My nephrologist asked me to discontinue Celebrex because it was affecting my kidneys.

Yes
It works, and I can not take other NSAIDS

@popolopo
Fentanyl is one of the most powerful pain relieving opioids on the market. Yes, attics take it who choose to abuse it or choose to take it illegally. I used the fentanyl patch and changed it every 3 days according to doctors instructions. I never had a problem with it at all. Had no problem getting off it either. Normally, if people take drugs, responsibly, and as they are prescribed, they don’t have a problem, but of course, there are exceptions.
I’m not familiar with any of the things you mentioned and wouldn’t take them unless I checked with a doctor first. They might be dangerous in their own right or interfere with something I am already taking.
Take care,
Jake

That scares me. I didn’t realize people could be treated with fentanyl safely.
My 45 year old daughter died from it. Just reading about the possibility of using it myself, even under supervision is unnerving.
Wishing you the best.

No, I found that I was allergic to it and had to go off of it. I broke out in hives. I ended up taking gabapentin instead, it has helped.
