Medical Issues-Neck,Fentanyl
 

Ok, I have much damage in my neck that includes C5/6 disc fusion with cadaver and hardware. I also have a small herniation at C6/7,bone spurs on multiple levels,stenosis-narrowing to 5mm and arthritis. I was on 25mg Fentanyl and bumped up to 50mg. I am still battling the side effects with these that I heard the sleepiness will pass once,just hang in with them. I also experience the nausea,itchy,hiccups and of course no bowl movement. I read putting the patches above my belly button may help the nausea. One day,so far good. Ok,so,I was been working quite a bit trying to find what hours are good for me and my neck is extremely sore. I am experiencing my left toe numbness,and the bridge and tip of my nose being numb. One good thing,its the no feel numbness. I also have my regular pain but staying very intense,headache(fentanyl,causes also, left arm is very very weak and dropping small things. I will be giving this the weekend to subside and yes,will be seeing my doctor. Just wondering of peoples experiences...and the nose numbness,possibly neck or sciatic? I am not having teeth problems either(knock on wood)..LOL.
Sincerely

Many/most of those views may be from google searches for keywords in your thread topic. 24 hours isn't a lot of time to allow; some folks don't check in every day. I've been out for over a week with a herniated disc, and I'm still not up to it.

Patience young padawan. ;)

Doc

Yes, my apologies
 

Yes your absolutely correct and my apologies for being anxious. I
do hope your herniated disc pain subsides soon (for you not me).i will
check in not so anxiously and have patience.
Sincerely!!
