[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When used as a pain killer for cancer pain, that is where most of it goes - to solve that problem. When used without the underlying pain, it goes elsewhere and causes issues, like with ANY other medication. [/quote] What is frightening is how much hospitals push fentanyl on patients, at least post surgery, because they don’t want to have to deal with a whiff of complaining about pain. When I asked a nurse a couple of days post serious surgery for Tylenol, I was told that I had to wait another 10 minutes because they could only dispense it every 4 hours, on the dot. However please push the fentanyl pump in the meantime. [/quote] I was hospitalized overnight for a minor surgery and asked for non-narcotic painkiller. The nurse basically ignored me and put the morphine into my IV anyway. [/quote]
