    Hi only49. I think these are pain-killing patches, I believe they are morphine-based and you get them from the doctor. DD

    Hi Sylv

    I got mine form the GP.

    they are a synthetic morphiney stuff!!you stick on a sort of plaseter and all teh time the mediaction is absobed into the body via the skin. It is brilliant fro me as I rarely need to take anything else! I also dont feel sick like I can do on other painkillers like tramadol.

    If you GP agrees then they may well be worth a try?

    Mike

    I have both inflamatory and OA too. As far as I know they are for any chronic pain which fits with Hazel perfectly and Sylvia too.

    She can start on the lowest dose you know and build up.

    Do let me know how she gets on :grin:
