Saffy,

I am currently on a Butran's patch, clonidine patch, neurontin, abilify and percocet for break thru. I like having the patch's no need to worry about taking a pill and it really has helped with the pain where I barely ever have to take breakthrough meds.
I also have a rollabout (which is pictured on my info) so I do not have to use that leg. Don't know if this information helps you but I wanted to share in case you could use some of it. I will pray you find relief.
