Recommendation: My Rheumatologist
  Other Doctor in New Jersey
  Added by: flip12flop   
  Post:
I recently saw my new rheumatologist for the first time. He prescribed Flector patches for pain relief for my fibromyalgia as well as for my degenerative disk disease. So far, along with my Lyrica, this patch has provided incredible pain relief. It does have side effects, but knock wood, so far so good!!

I have tried so many painkillers, muscle relaxers, and other strong medications, but for now I take Lyrica 50mg am/50mg pm + wear my patch every day for 12 hours. I suggest members check with their own doctors about trying this patch. I was given samples, as I think you would get also.
