: Hello I am 28 years old and have Spondylolthesis, today my doctor gave me Fentanyl (duragesic) it is a patch, does it help you ? I am also on the drug Neurontin , please tell me if you take any of these medicnes. Also do you have any information on SS disability? I mean can somebody with Spondylolthesis collect SS disability? Thank you for reading, Caroline

Dear Caroline,
I was on Fentanyl after my spine surgery by pump. It didn't take my pain away, but it did irritate my Central Nervous System. I was unable to relax or sleep and got nervous ticks from it. They finally stopped it. I was also on Neurontin for the nerve damage I have from my spinal problems and surgeries. (100 mg 2x/day) Neurontin made me hurt worse. I could not lay, sit, sleep or even stand. This medication was supposed to help with my nerve pain, yet it seemed to aggrivate it worse.

I don't really know anything about SSD. I don't work anymore because of my disabilities, but I also never applied for SSD. I had always heard it very hard to get.

I did had Spondylolysis with positional spondylolistheses and had 2 surgeries to repair.

Hope some of this info helps you.
