A member asked:

Are they prescribed?: If they have been just prescribed by your doctor they can certainly help with pain especially moderate to severe chronic pain. If they were prescribed a long time ago or you just got them from another source DO NOT use them. Any narcotic carries a serious risk of overdose and death, and this has been very common with fentanyl patches. The dose needs to be verified and approved by your doctor.

Need mroe informatio: Would not be able to recommend a narcotic at this point. You will need to ask your physician why the pan persists. Hip groin pain suggest the hip joint as the site of the pain.
