chronic pain
"I have been on the Butran pain patch for several years now because of chronic back pain (23  years). I started with 20 mcg and now I'm on 15 mcg.  It really helps with my back pain.  I hate taking anything that blurs my mind and this by far doesn't do that.  I am tired a lot ( I have CFS) and I drink a lot of water.  This medicine saved my life. I am now walking, swimming (I apply a waterproof bandaid over patch) stretching, and housework.  My life is so much better.  I am not pain free but on a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst - I am a three.  For almost 20 years I was a ten.  "
