Looking For Some Help On Fentanyl
UpdatedI have a bad back. I'm missing a vertebra and have a metal spacer now and a lot of screws, total 20 surgeries. I now have a pain pump (fentanyl) and take 30mg Oxy 3x a day. Screwed my back up Jan 1999, so I've been on this stuff a while and never abused it as I chase the pain, not the high. I fell and knocked my shoulder out and chipping bone off the rim of the socket and had surgery. My surgeon said he would not give me anything for pain because I have a pain management Dr. Just before surgery I went to my pain Dr and told him about this. My back injury was work related, so he told me he couldn't treat me for my shoulder. Anyone that's had shoulder surgery knows the pain level of it and the long & painful recovery. I can't believe these Dr won't do anything. I have been told for years that marijuana would help for back pain, but I never would try it until this surgery. I would have done anything after surgery, so I took 1 puff 3-4 x a day, one joint would last a week. Well I went for a pump refill and had to take a U/A and they found marijuana and told me and I just said yea I know, I had no idea you can't do that when you're on pain meds. I mean yea I knew it was against the law, but didn't know I could lose my WC benefits. And after 17 years of taking meds just as subscribed I'm now on an at risk list in the medical community. They wouldn't help me, sorry but that upsets me. This shoulder is really hurting. I have a couple of fentanyl (75) patches but they went out of date in 2011 - Do you think they still work? I've seen on other forums where people have cut them in 4 pieces and used 1 a day? Also has anyone tried to pull fresh fentanyl out of a pump and take it orally? I would never try that as I'm a scary cat when it comes to that. I've heard some bad stuff about fentanyl, just curious if someone would do that?

Seriously. Don't. Fentanyl ruined my life. And my best friend is gone because of it. I was addicted for 2 1/2 years. I had 2 back surgeries. Was prescribed everything and anything I wanted. I'm done with it. I was abusing fentanyl. My story really is a lot longer and if you have any questions please ask. You gotta get the monkey off your back. I'm finally happy after 6 years of opiates. Please if I can help I want to.
