Posted on Mon, 22 Dec 2014
Question: Yes, my doctor is leaving to go to another job. I have been seeing him over 15 years. I suffer from severe both back and hip pain and sometimes falling. I do use a walker but I still have pain. He had said I could go to see his sister and I did today but, she wants me to take methadone. I do not want to take that but I don't want to suffer pain. I didn't get the medicine filled. I don't know what to do. My age is 55

Brief Answer:
You can take methadone for this severe pain.

Detailed Answer:

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I appreciate your struggle with severe both back and hip pain.

You have a long history of pain so I think since long time you are on pain killer.

Do not take otherwise that I want to impose this drug on you.

Methadone is used to relieve severe pain in people who are expected to need pain medication around the clock for a long time and who cannot be treated with other medications.

Methadone works to treat pain by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain.

I will suggest you to start methadone.

If you have any query related to methadone, then please do not hesitate.
I will be happy to answer your questions.

Again if you do not want take methadone then please communicate me.
