Extreme Pain, Reacuring Hip & Knee Dislocations

[Jojo_Chey]

I was diagnosed with Ehlers Dan Los Syndrome  a bit over 2 years ago. It causes reacuring dislocations. Mostly in my right hip and knee. And constant strains of ligaments and tendons. Both of which obviously cause extreme pain. and makes it so i now am in a wheelchair. Right now I'm on oxycodone 5mg tablets. They don't work what so ever for my pain. I've been doing research and many of the people with my disorder are on the fentanyl patch. I'm considering asking my doctor to put me on it. but  I'am wondering if he'll consider it?

And yes I will look into physiotherapy

Thank you that puts much of my anxiety about my next appointment at ease :)

Hi!

Well, if you need round the clock pain relief then yes, your doctor will consider fentanyl patch. Please discuss this with your doctor. Hope this helps provide pain relief. Also, you must go for physiotherapy to lend some strength to your ligaments and tendons. Take care!
