Chronic Back Pain, Scoliosis, Severe Pain. On Methadone, Any Advice?
I have had chronic back pain due to scoliosis for years now...I have had the back surgery to "fix" the problem and now have 2 rod and 32 screws in my back and the pain has increased 100%! I barely can walk, have had a second opinion and was told there was nothing he could do for me...my neck just isn't ready for surgery yet. Now my question...my pain management doctor has been pushing Methadone on me fo....r months now! Should I try the Methadone before I get an opinion on the pain pump! I am afraid to use Methadone and don't like the stigma associated with it! What should I do, try the methadone or go straight for the pain pump?
