Hi guys...
I'm new here and I have been having the worst couple of weeks painwise since I can remember... I guess people have been sewing the company that makes the Duragic Patch so they switched the way the patch delivers the medicine into your body. I haven't been able to find another substitue for that medicine.

When I first got injured the doc put me on Vicodin and Tylenol which put in renal faliure then a coma. I really can't take too many pills otherwise I will throw up, my liver can't handle it.

I broke my back in two places, now that I don't have the proper pain medication I get so tired. It makes it difficult for me to work. What I don't understand is that if the patch was leaking wouldn't someone know? I had a patch that leaked and I knew right away b/c I could feel it on my skin and on my clothing. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I guess that is how other people feel when someone like me takes too much Tyleonl... they probably think that I would know, but I didn't know I was taking too much. I was only taking the perscribed amount of Tylenol and Vicodin and I almost died to the point where the doctors where telling my family to "pull the plug". I was left with some brain injury which still frusterates me.

I guess I am just grumpy from all of the pain I've been feeling and I am going to a dark place. I'm mad b/c I can't take other meds. Once I had a fever of 105 and had to be in the hospital for over a week until it broke.

When I come home from work I feel like crying b/c I am in so much pain... when I wake up I can't really move around like I did 2 months ago with the other patch and feel like crying b/c I'm in pain. Yes I have a pain doc, I've been trying to see if these other generic patches will work, but they are not... does anyone have any advice?

Thanks for listening...
