Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Durogesic Withdrawl
I have been on durogesic for about 18 months. Gone from 50 to 25 then to 12 and wore patches for longer periods until u finally went off them a week ago. Since then I am in dreadful pain. Do I go back on them or am I having withdrawals and just have to bear with it. My whole body aches dreadfully and my legs pain and want to move all the time. Worst about being on it it made me sleep too much. I feel I have wasted my last 18 maths of my life but I have fibromyalgia and need a knee replacement
