I am just getting over my second cervical surgery and now found ou th that i also have t6-7 herniated ane t7-8 herniated and compressing the cord, also all lumber disc are bulging with l4-5 stenic. thoric pain is the worse, my doc wants me on the fentanyl patch but he cann't write it as he is a pa. my neuro surgen sent me to what we thought was a pain a pain management doc but all he does is shots and he won't touch me to dangerous ( surgen said the same thing) well anyway the unpain amnagement doc did write a script for the patch for just one month to give me time to get a doc who would write it, and the patch helped so well it's the 1st time in 3 years with hardly any pain, but now i am getting yhe run around(no one at pain management will take my ins). does anyone have any advice for me. I just went back to work and am afraid i will run out of the patches and there is no way i an work with out them the pain is sooo bad thanks to all and hope you all have a pain free day
