Morning all. I’ve just started my second week on Buprenorphine Patches. So far they’ve not helped with the pain but have caused a lot of nausea. It’s a low dose 5mg to start so maybe an higher dose will be needed ?
I have a friend who’s been down a similar path yo me and has now been prescribed (by his GP) Cannabis Patches.
Has anyone had any experience of these?
For background: I had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair following a Laminectomy for Severe Spinal. Unfortunately this didn’t work and the Pain Consultant has said there is no further treatment that he can offer.
As a result of this I’m paying, privately, to see a Spine Consultant for a second opinion. Obviously he may come back with the same opinion in which case I’ve just got to accept it.
I should also say that I’ve also now been diagnosed with Heart Failure so “normal” pain relief is not an option.
Any help/advice would be gratefully received.
Kind regards
David
