I have had sufficient pain relief from the fetynal patch. From most of the reviews I've noticed one of the biggest problems is have the patch stay on. There are different brand names of the drug and I will only use Mylan brand. The majority of time it stays on with no problems.

Comment:
I have tried almost every rx analgesic on the market over 20 years. I have even had a implantable drug pump for 10 years against my better judgement. The only things that worked well were the ones that were schedule 2. I dreaded taking a rx to the pharmacy and see the pharmacists demeanor change 100% as soon as they read the prescription. It's unfortunate that we all get treated as addicts (ev
