Suggest Ways To Manage Pain When Diagnosed With Spinal Stenosis

I am on buphrenopine patches 20 for stenosis of the spine. Today the pharmacist changed me to the generic version without direction from my doctor or myself. I refused to have the replacement due to starting a different patch, the pain involved whilst not knowing how it will work.

Hello,

In my opinion, you should take tramadol (Ultracet - centrally acting pain killer). It acts directly on the brain and reduces pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
