How Long After Using Fentanyl Patch Can One Expect Relief?

Hi - How long after adhering the Fentanyl patch can I begin to see some relief. I have been taking Vicodin for a number of years and they are not handling the pain for me any longer. My pain is not only in my bones/joints but is now in my muscles and softer tissue. Thanks for your answer .........

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the pain is the main concern, then this can be managed with the potent analgesic and narcotic drug is the option but this is not advisable but try to bear the pain instead with some NSIAD medicine and this would give very good results, hope this information helps, take care.
