"chronic pain associated with ulcerative colitls and multiple bowel surgeries. had large intestine removed, now have permanent ileostomy. i have a ridiculously high pain tolerance, and after trying out the fentanyl transdermal patch (50 mcg every 48 hrs) and taking 10-12 percocet 10/325 a day, my pain management doctor prescribed kadian 30 mg every 12 hrs and percocet for my breakthrough pain. kadian has been amazing and is helping me get back to my day-to-day life."
