I have left leg pain and have had it for several years, due to surgery---a flap graft closure of a hole in my leg made by a dr. who was removing a sterile abcess and dead tissue from an injection of phenergan. I also have nerve pain in the soles of my feet due to MS. I started on Lortabs, then they sent me to a pain dr. who gave me Kadian, fentanyl patches, and now years of MS Contin. I am trying to get off the MS Contin but am getting withdrawal symptoms and the pain is worse. I've managed to decrease the amount of the morphine by 2/3's the dose I was on, but am stuck at still taking 120 mg/day to stave off withdrawal symptoms. PLEASE try everything short of narcotics to deal with your pain. It isn't worth getting dependent on drugs!
