Is Leg Pain A Symptom Of Fentanyl Use?

I have recently begun using the Fentanyl patch for back pain control. About a week ago I noticed that my legs and feet have begun to hurt. Is this a Fentanyl side effect? Thank you!

HI, Katherine!

It shouldn't be, since it is a potent narcotic used to relieve pain, but some of them do cause some inflammation in some people that take them, which can lead to pain.

However, there is also a chance that it could be due to some other issue. Have you consulted your doctor about it?
