    • Close Chronic Pain

      Currently suffering with cronic abdominal pain following colon surgery and esophogus surgery due to cancer. Persistent pain made worse by gall bladder removal which was suppose to correct the problem. The pain seems to control my daily activities and I am not getting much help in the way of pain relief. I've tried the Fentyl Patch and it was working but I can not tolerate the side effects so had to stop. I'm open for any suggestions. Bless ya'll.

      Treatments

      Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
      It works for a short time. Been on it 2 yrs and doesn't work as well now.
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      Oxycontin. Had to stop because of bad side effects.
      Duragesic Patch Working / Worked
      Worked for the pain but had to stop because of bad side effects.
