Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi, , Welcome... Could you please tell me more about DDD.... I can't seem to find anything in my medical texts, but most of the time they don't list disease by abbreviation... I am on all the same drugs you are, and tomorrow we are going to talk about a duragesic (fentenyl) patch. So many people say it is great. Heck, at this point i am willing to try anything... One suggestion if you can get them to put you on the patch, make sure you move it around on your body; Dont use the same exact site, move it an inch or two up dow or in another direction... That will help keep your skin from breaking down under the patch... If that happens, which is what I think happened to me, the blood flow gets closer and closer to the patch and you pull in more drug then you should... Another thought along the lines of epidural steroid injections might be local steriod injections or Rhizotomies (SP?). If you pain is localized at all, they can shoot steroids into the effected nerve, that gave me relief from my upper back pain for abot 3 months... But they " missed " on the " rhizotomy " cause it left me with more pain... I can't drive any longer with my drugs, well, I can but I probably shouldn't. my meds make me feel like I am ADD at times... My neighbor is a police officer and told me they can pull you over for a sobriety test. So if you can stand on one foot and say the ABC's, or any of the other sobriety tests they give you then I would say keep driving... Blessed be, Bekkah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
