Re: duragesic patch

Most of what it says has been covered here, but I just want you to fully understand how powerful this drug is...analgesic potency about 80 times that of morphine. I know the desire to be pain free can cause us to justify things we normally would not. Please listen to those who are warning you from first hand experience.

i know everyone is looking out for me and i appreciate that there are people on this board that take methadone for methadone maintence and i would like to warn them of the w/ds and dangers but they are on it for a reason i'm strictly on this patch for pain relief only i clean 4 to 5 houses 5 days a week and my back can not handle it i've tried just about everything including combinations of nsaids and they just don't touch the pain i'm definitly gonna mention all these stories to my pain management dr when i see him because believe me now i'm worrying all the time about this patch but i have'nt worked pain free in 3 months i cried everyday i came home it hurt so bad and for the first time my pain is controlled i know people can abuse this patch but i'm just not that type of person personally i hope i don't offend anyone but in the ways they can be abused i think it's disgusting i know eveyone cares and i appreciate that i have severe pain that comes with delivering a 10lb baby with no c-section it completly ripped my cervix in half and ruined my back along with having arthritis i just cannot take this pain anymore but thank you so much for caring it means so much that people try to warn you and step in when they think someone is in danger i have friends that would not even do that but all of you understand again thank you for your concern kelleigh

Re: duragesic patch

Kelleigh, sounds like you have a handle on this. Just trying to look out for you and be the "devil's advocate". By the way, on another thread, I briefly described what seems to be a better steroid injection therapy for the spine, that I just learned about from a friend. I'm looking into it, and will let you know what I learn.

Re: duragesic patch

Hi Kelleigh, You know, I think it is time for you to try and find a new line of work.I know that it is much easier said than done,but as long as you continue to aggrevate your back and other body parts, you will never get that pain down to a tolerable level.

i cleaned houses for a living along with my husbands cousin for about three years way back when and I would come home most days completely exhausted and in alot of pain in my knees and my lower back from all of the "aerobics".and this was way before i started having any major problems with my legs and back.cleaning and all of the stuff you have to do, is extremely hard on your body for even "normal" people.If you have any kind of back problems, it really compounds the problem.Espescially vacuuming!this probably one of the worst possible things that you can do to an already painful back.

This constant aggrevation is just making things much worse for you.things will never calm down for you while you continue to do this everyday.it is just immpossible.

i know that it is difficult to find a job that you can do that will minimize the strain but this is just going to keep progressing until you just will not be able to work anymore at all.and then where will you be?

i know how you feel kelleigh,I went through this too,but you really need to look very hard at changing your line of work before you get to the point where your pain is so out of control that will be unable to work at all.

Just something to think about.Take care, Marcia
