pain
"I have osteoarthritis in my spine, knees and hips, made worse by all the lifting I have done over the years as a nurse.I was prescribed Dihydrocodeine on a long term basis and unfortunatly fell prey to opioid addiction as well as the chronic pain. Three years ago I was referred to pain clinic and opioid dependency clinic where I was put on Methadone 70mls daily. I have never looked back. I now live a 'normal' pain free life. Methadone should lose it's stigma in society though."
