Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since you mentioned in your query that there is bone on bone in tibia.
You are taking Hydrocodone + methadone ( opiod derived codeine+ opium derivative ) , in spite of this that these two drugs are habit forming drugs and most potent pain killers .
Next step is more powerful opium alkaloid i.e. more habit formation and a day will come you will be addict of these drugs than , what will happen?
I am sorry to say this is not a treatment .
In my opinion you should consult Orthopedic surgeon and get his opinion for treatment of bone on bone.
Good luck. Dr. HET
