Unable To Walk Long Distance, On Fentanyl And Oxycontin. Is It Due To Opioids?
Hello, my name is stan and i have been on pain killers for many years, fentanal and oxycontin, now i am having trouble walking and my legs will only care me for short distances, i feel like i am going to pass out and have to sit down or lay down. Do you think the opioids has this effect or may it be the main problem i am having?
HI Thank for asking to HCM This may not be a side effects of medicine you are taking, or may be some time, but near cause and most likely reason of extortion should find out first, and that is cardiac problem, low hemoglobin, respiratory syndrome, if all these came negative then we can say that this must be because of the drugs, ( Age/sex missing here, it matters here) bye
