For example,in my right thigh both the outer cystic nerve & the inner nerve that runs just under your carotid artery to the inner side of your knee are both equally severely painful.

My dr changed my intrathecal pump med from fentanil to sufentanil 5 days ago. The change hit my system on Thursday morning. I had feeling of weakness in my legs, lethargic, tired.

WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT TWHY THIS DRUG IS SO EXPENSIVE I HAVE AN INFUSION PUMP AND THE COST IS PHENOMANAL TO REFIL IT. ## Most drugs are very expensive, especially opiate pain relievers. This is a very, very strong one, fentanyl is 80 times stronger than Morphine, and this one is 5 to 10 times more potent than fentanyl, depending on the prescribed dosage, so you can see this is a very potent pain med, prices rise with higher dosages and higher potency medications, very normal in the pharmaceutical industry.
