Fetanyl patch for pain

[angelblueeyes]

Hi I am new to this site but seeking to find other people suffering like myself I am now off of work on disability. I have been through so many different medications to see what works. The dr now has me now on the fetanyl patch for pain along with oxycodine for break through pain which seems to help. The problem now is I go through this faze where all of a sudden I experience extreme fatigue where I will nod off suddenly and have no control of it. I also am experiencing extreme numbness in both my hands along with pain that never goes away. Is anyone else going through the same simular situation.

I'm not a physician, but I remember reading a recent article on the Fetanyl patch, and problems associated with it.  It may be a good idea to talk with your physician about this, and perhaps switch to a different type of pain management.  You may want to do some research on the Fentanyl patch.  Good luck, and keep me posted.
