Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I switch today from ms contin to duragesic patches. I am supposed to put them in a place where they will not wrinkle and where the skin is " thin " . Any ideas on where this special spot may be? How do they work for others?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi Samatha I used the patches for quite some time....I found the worked best when placed on my chest and back on my scapula....the chest area may not work best for you....so I suggest the scapula....be careful though...I developed an allergy to the doggone adhesive and had to go back to thde oxy...wish you the best...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Sam, For me the best place is the upper arm above the triceps area and if you have problems with them staying on you can use tape but only put it on the outer edge of the patch. Please read all the info that comes with the medication and that will help also. That is only my personal opinion. Brett Pain Patches I switch today from ms contin to duragesic patches.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Yeah, I've developed an allergy to the patches also - Guess if I get bad enough to go back on Prednisone, I will be able to use them again~ Kind Regards, Pat Austin, TX ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
