I was told that my surgery failed still I was left in constant pain. MY new GP has put me on fentanyl 100 patch ..after i mentioned that ordene liquid on my bad days combined with oxycontin gives me some relief. I dont understand he said oxycontin is not morphene ? I thought oxycontin was morphene ,could you please explain what is the difference im scared & confused .thankyou yours Mara
