FDA Fentanyl Warning

[KL Aguilar]

Mark, I don't know much about these patches, but I have Lidoderm patches and they really help. Are these also dangerous? I know I can only use two at a time, and twelve hours on and twelve hours off. I was not told, but would've guessed that using heat with them would be a no-no.

I am now seeing a physiatrist in Fullerton. He is questioning the last two surgeons' recommendation of a two-level fusion instead of something less invasive. (To refresh your memory, I am referring to Dr. Lauryssen and Dr. Samudrala, the latter of Cedar Sinai).

The physiatrist gave me three trigger point injections around the right scapular area and the areas no longer hurt! It still hurts above and below the areas he injected though. Twelve and a half years of being a cervie and this is the first medical professional to recommend trigger point injections...
