pain
"I fell off of a ladder at work and shattered my elbow and slicing my nerves.  After 3 surgeries over a year period I was still in a lot of pain.  After going through the norco dependence I was finally referred to a pain mgmt doc who first tried Opana to no avail.  I was then put on an extended release Fentanyl patch which worked but did not last near long enough between doses. The doc then put me on Nucynta ER tritated up to 250mg x2/day and it has been a godsend.  I keeps my pain at bay and doesn't get me high.  I will say that it seems to only last 8-10 hours but I have norco to fill the gap.  Very happy with Nucynta and I feel like I have my life back.  Friends and family say that I am much better to be around as well.  Good luck to you!"
