well he is on 50 mg fetanyl patch and i called to see if he could get on the gavapetin, so he will start that today...since he is still having pain along with taking the roxicet. the pain dr is saying if drugs aren't working so well...he might want to have the nerves to his face lasered to kill the nerves? So he would just be numb? anyone have that done to stop the pain, is that a good idea? what are the negatives to that?
