Re: Durogesic & Percocet to Donna

[Guest guest]

Donna,

if your doctors aren't willing to deal with pain medications, as Heidi

said, get to a pain specialist or a pain clinic. Most pain clinics treat

chronic pain with a long-lasting pain med (like the Duragesic patch,

MScontin, Oxycontin and Methadone, etc) and a short -term breakthrough

pain med (percocet, oxycodone, darvocet, etc). The long lasting takes

care of the everyday gnawing pain and the breakthrough med takes care of

the periodica flares of pain. Doesn't stop a full fledged attack, but at

least you can deal with a flare that lasts a few hours or even a day or

two. Hope this helps you.
