: 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.
