Is your back pain localized? Right above your belt line? I had good luck with prescribing (Fentanyl/narcotic) pain patches, if when I asked the patient, where is the pain,if they pointed with one finger, I tried a patch, if they waved a hand, they never really worked.

I have lower back pain very bad. I think spinal stenosis according to MRI. And also radiating burning pain (sciatica) only on my left side.

A fentanyl patch is a systematic drug, not a localized pain control medication. Fentanyl is poorly absorbed orally, hence the transdermal patch or trans mucosal “lollipops”.

A lidocaine patch which is non-narcotic, would be applicable for localized pain control.
