Hi all
Is there anyone on this site that is medically qualified.
If yes I have a question
Before I had my wls I was taking Zomorph for my Arthritis pain at a dose of 60mg twice a day which kept my pain under control, now that I have had a bypass I can no longer take Zomorph as I was told slow release medication does not work well with a bypass. My GP changed me over to Butrans patches as recommended by my WLS team. The trouble is even though I am on the highest dose of Butrans 20mgh they are having no effect on my pain. So what does should I be on to get the same level of pain management that I was getting when I was on Zomorph.
Thanks for any help with this.
Paul
