"i had 2 broken knuckles replaced. sent home with oxycontin and oxycodone. they were like eating a tic tac. i ended up spending a week in the hospital pushing a button on a pain pump which contained morphine. it did absolutely nothing for my pain. finally, i was seen by a pain management doctor who prescribed 50 mcg fentanyl patches every other day. i was able to go home and start physical therapy. i am so thankful they found something that worked fro me. every patient is different and everyone responds differently to different medications. i am a 100 pound 55 year old woman."
