Pain Management Doc Utilizing Fentanyl?
Updated
Dean Says:
Can anyone advise me on a pain management physician somewhere in or around Virginia that is willing to treat with Fentanyl Patch for pain control? I have severe lordosis, pinched nerve (inoperable) and have received multiple steroid injections at both L5 and L2. The Lumbar pain has only worsened with severe Sciatica down my left leg to my left foot. I was actually discharged from the Marine Corps at age 19 for severe back pain, which over the years has responded to oral steroids, but no longer. I am being prescribed Vicodin for pain 2 tabs every 4 hours. However, the pain control is not consistent due to sleep, and I also fear taking 5 Grams/Tylenol every day. I just feel that being placed on a fentanyl patch makes more sense than constant refills of Vicodin and having to stop to take the tablets every 4-6 hours. Still seeking a permanent solution to my problem through spine Drs, but I desperately need a pain management Dr who is willing to assist me with my current pain. If anyone could recommend a physician that could assist me with this in or around Virginia I would be highly grateful!!!!!

Anyone using fentanyl the regular way 48 hrs and throwing it away? My dad has cancer and they won't give him a 48 schedule so he is in agony. (And they don't even prescribe this in the state we live If you don't have cancer, they are very conservative here) Please contact me it could work for both of us.
