HI! Im Lyn, (Im a good mate of Jim)I have had endless pain problems (complete with DRs telling me I was an addict but not giving me an alternative to my 8 pain. I now have a new young docter who is terrific. He has put me on Durogesic Patches. I need I 50mg patch every 3 days (better than a heap of tabs that make us sick huh?!) They come in 25mg, 50, 75 and 100. Ask your Doc can you try them. Once you put them on, you forget about pain meds for up to 72 hours! Im sure they dont work for everyone, but they did for me! Good Luck, Prayers and LOVE xxxxx Lyn
