"i have suffered from chronic pain for several years. i have a significant case of degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, a bulging disc pressing against nerve&#039;s, alot of nerve damage, three bad discs in neck, osteoarthritis in both knee&#039;s (possible surgery on both per mri and orthopaedic surg.), and fibromyalgia. like many other&#039;s i have been on almost everything from oxycontin, oxycodone, ms contin, dilaudid, opana er, nucynta, fentanyl patches, etc. my doctor mentioned methadone a few times, and i declined. i finally said yes, and i&#039;m so glad i did. i take 10 mg 3 times a day. i may ask if i can take it 4 times a day, and i think it will be great.
