Hi and welcome to PC!

I'm sorry you are suffering so. Your doctor did not intend for you to be immobilized. I hope it was prescribed by pdoc too instead of GP or internist.

Please give your pdoc a call and let him/her know your reaction to this patch. It is possible that it is too strong to start with after all.

Good luck and please keep us posted. (no pun intended )
Take care,
Okie
