Dear: thanks for using Chat Doctor and will try to help you with my medical advice. Fentanyl is a narcotic patch that the body can get use to it after a period of time. First step is to reevaluate your back problem with an MRI of the back. Then, depending on the level of problem, the treatment options could be adjustment of pain medication, physical therapy, epidural block or surgical treatment. I hope that my advice has been helpful.
