How Can Constant Pain In The Lower Back And Legs Be Treated?
I got hit by a car years ago and received a hairline fracture at L5/S1. I had sereral procedures nerve blocking etc. Anyway now I am 63 yrs old and in constant pain lower back and legs. I was on 80mg OxyContin but I came off them for fear of getting addicted I recently trialed 10mg Physeptone 1tab twixe a day for 5days and they worked great. I was told on long term low dose it was hhighly unlikely I would become addicted. I have been in heaps of pain over the last 3days and can barely move I have to use a rollaway walker and am on a Disability pension I am on the waiting list for the pain clinic but it is quite lengthy. I have all documents to support what I have just said. My question is which doctor can I see in western sydney that can prescribe the medication or do I have to go on some kind of program?? I do not Doctor Shop and nor do I or have I ttouched illegal drugs. Physeptone is a type of Methadone usually used to manage a drug addiction. I need it to help manage my constant pain and to help restore my quality of life. I fear that without this help I will be in a wheelchair sooner than later. I would like to be able to get an appointment today. My alternative is to try am obtain them by other means because I can t bare it much longer.Nothing else seems to be working anymore not even the cortizone Iinjections
