Sometimes a Prescription pain medication can make symptoms worse

  

Prescription pain relief when it is working it is pretty amazing but it can become problematic very quickly. The neurologist cut the medication back and worked to protect the stomach but her pain issues were getting worse. So I requested a prescription pain patch which the neurologist agreed with. Chloe wears a prescription patch on the left corner of her forehead and an over the counter patch at the base of her neck.She can get over the counter pain medication when she asks but most pain medication is topical. Symptoms of problems with the pain medication was stomach issues, constipation issues and extreme discomfort or unexplained pain issues. The neurologist said we had to try something different and protect Chloe's stomach and as you can see by the picture above so far we seem to be doing that.
