I wish someone would try these patches on me. No meds have worked on me but the docs I see either want to do nothing just small low key meds or big things like scs. When I was on vicodin they were like your young and its not good. Well I won't make it to 75 like this. I would rather have quality then quantity of life. I was hoping the internist would precribe this but she said she doesn't deal with pain and I have to go to pain management which I have to 3 plus.Dakota I am glad its working for you cause I know you felt pushed into the scs. I think all things have its pros and cons and everyone in there situation needs to review the options
