Can Higher Dose Of Kadian Be Taken For Chronic Pain In Legs Due To Cellulitis?
I had cellulitis of my left leg and it was severe. I was hospitalized for ten days and off work for 5 months. I have chronic daily pain in my legs. My doctor is very conservative with pain medication and I understand that to a point. I feel like I don t have a life with this pain everyday. I would like her to prescribe Kadian at a higher dose. It seems to work pretty well for me. Any other suggestions for pain control?
