Hi,
My Doctor Is Very Good. He Is Willing To Give Me Pain Meds For Fibro. I Am Rotating Hydrocodone And Oxycodone. It Is Still Not Helping The Pain. Has Anyone Tried The Pain Patch? I Do Not Know What Drug Is In It But I Know It Is Used For Chronic Pain. Please Tell Me If It Helps. I Want To Get Out Of This Pain.
Thanks

I have fibro but am on pills for the pain. I have had fibro for over 30yrs. I have a friend who sees same rheumatologist I see. She was on the pathc and it worked for her. I think she may not be on now because of insurance and money. It is good your dr. will give you anything. Many will not give anything. If you even mention pain meds they go banans. I see a very good dr. in the Orlando area. Hope you can get some help. I do know that exercise really helps. Not that I get that done but I know it helps. I do try to walk as much as I can. Hope to see post on how you make out if you get the patch.
