Hi members,

There are several types of pain relief patches available, from those with lidocaine or cannabis to opioid strength (e.g. fetanyl).

Have you tried any such patches for relief of any discomfort and pain associated with fibromyalgia? Any success or any advice and recommendations?

@Lee__R I've recently tried lidocaine patches and it's been really helpful. You can get them over the counter at CVS or Walgreens but the ones that really help me are the prescription-strength ones that my doctor prescribed for me. They really help for my hip and back pain.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.
