Hi, yesterday was told I needed a hip replacement because of serious osteoarthritis. I also have long term Spinal Stenosis and am on Fencino 50 morphine patches. I was told to stop taking these patches because of the hip replacement op which now could be months and months away. At no time was the Stenosis addressed or the returning pain along with the hip, groin and sciatica/cramps currently suffered. I am so fearful of this added pain as for me the patches work although guidelines from those physicians who are not suffering pain like me, assure they are not working. My back pain is now tolerable unlike before when it was agony. I am at my wits end, am 72 with these conditions plus asthma and am high risk for the Corona virus.
Thanks everyone
