H?ave spent $300,000 on alternatIves wit˙÷ mInImal su'ccess. any suggestions.
Brief Answer:
buprenorphine transdermal 5 mg patch
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since you are having excruciating pain and have a history of b6 cancers i would advise you to apply buprenorphine transdermal 5 mg patch locally.
You apply one patch to a dry non-irritated non hairy area of your skin on your upper body such as your chest, upper back, or the outside of your arms.
Leave it in place for seven days and then remove it and replace it with a new patch but apply the replacement patch to a different area of skin on your upper body.
Avoid using the area from where you have removed the patch for at least three weeks. Continue to replace your patches once a week, on the same day of the week.
You need a doctors prescription for the patch.
