Well we've decided to try it and I can say from my point of view it is worth it. He is more relaxed and doesn't look to be in near as much pain as before. We've actually had a couple of nice days together since we started the patch. But don't worry, we didn't take it lightly and will be very careful with it. Currently he's on the lowest dose possible and is going well with it.
