Ask for 10x12cm waterproof me pore patches to stick on over the top, works like a charm for me. Are you under a pain management dr? Then I can give you some suggestions the more I know
Also always put the patches above heart level for maximum pain relief
Thanks - I bought some tegaderm patches today to stick over the top and they're working well, helps the fentanyl stay in places so much better.
I've currently got them on my thigh(s) which is working really well.
Sorry to sound silly but do you mean higher on the body than the heart? If so, why? The pharmacist specifically told me NOT to stick them on my chest so I went for the thighs.
I'm not seeing a pain doc just yet - been referred but waiting for an appt. Just being treated by my doctor in the mean while. He's pretty good and isn't shy in prescribing stronger medications where they're needed.
These patches have been brilliant for my pain, much better than oramorph. Been able to move about so much more since starting them, I must say, I'm very impressed! Was quite skeptical at using patches before... would've preferred to take something orally so I know it gets metabolised properly but yeah... very happy with them so far!
