I am new here but not a stranger to pain meds .I have been going to pain clinic for many yrs (5 plus) and still have probs at times with my dosage. My doctor no longer talks to me only his assistant and sometimes a total stranger, Do any of you others have this problem?? currently I am taking a 50mg mylan patch and 3x15 mg morphine msir at times the patch wears off before the 48hs (not 72) and other times I am ok ,I am not trying to get a buzz only want to stay active as possible and act normal. What I mean is not appear to others that I am on pain meds. I found this forum by accident ,but feel after reading I can get more answers here than from my physicians assistant. I have back pain from 40 yrs of plumbing drain cleaning work and still love to fish ,garden and play with my 10 yr old grandaughter
