Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 41 | My husband is awaiting a mandibulectomy in a week and a half. His pain has gotten steadily worse and the Dr. presribed a fentinoly patch and it wasn't working so the on call Dr. said he could use the lortab as needed for break through pain. Any advice is much appreciated to keep the pain at bay until surgery day
