Question: To go from 50mg Fetynol patch to 37 mg patch in order to wean how long should I be on the lower dose then what?

The pain is uncontrollable so opiates are not the answer. I have no idea how the dr will trearmt pain, but I do not want opiated and have haas to plead w/them to start the weaning. You verify what dr said, but little faith in dr. Thanks so much.

I wish I knew. I had 24" of colon removed with dr attaching to side of rectum with mesh strips. Prior to surgery, I didn't have any issues with going to the bathroom but, left hospital with infection resulting in hernia repair which abuts to stomach. I get terrible abdominal cramping and pain/pressure in rectum. Would like to know the strips of mesh - attached to side of rectum - would they attach inside abdomen which is where a lot of the pain is. The worst pain is rectum connection. This isn't very clear as I'm in so much pain, it's hard to think, but, doctors don't connect with each other and I was wrong not to get a second opinion, but, mesh can't be removed and I will never be able to take back a mistake like this. My life was jerked away from me and I don't get it.
