Most here eventually had to go to heavy duty pain meds, in particular, the Fentanyl patch in conjunction with meds for "breakthru pain". At one point, Bill was prescribed liquid morphine. So..like I say...heavy duty.

You should not be in this amount of pain so I would say consult with your physicians and get this under control.

Sorry..and hope you feel better soon,

Deb

Also, once on these drugs, you will need a period of ramping down to wean yourself off of them...do not do it cold turkey.
