I still have 3 weeks before my 2nd surgery c5-c6 this time getting a fusion over my prodisc-c
Hi Sissy - I am on Fentanyl Patch for long acting and Opana Ir for BT pain. I have been on it all since 2007 and these seem to work the best for me. Don't have to take a lot, and my wife says I am the best on them. I will never, ever, never take Oxycontin or Oxycodone. This drug made me mean and I acted differently on it. I do not do well with Morphine and the drugs with anything like acetaminophen are dangerous long term on your liver - plus I need too much of them.

If I may ask why are you getting a fusion over your ProDisc. Do you still have pain after your surgery?
