pain
"About 15 years ago, I was diagnosed with Lumbar Stenosis & went through the Epidurals (12) over the 1st 5 years to keep from Surgery. I tried all the Pain medicines out there, but could not tolerate most of them, due to a very low tolerance for most pain medicines. I have bad nausea &/or constipation. Then finally my Pain Doctor had me try a low dose of Methadone and it worked. It gives me 0 side effects, with enough pain to know my limits. I still play at a high level of Softball for 13 more years & recover thru 2 Back Surgeries. I just had my 3rd Back Surgery & now have Fibromyalgia, but I am still on the same 10mg of Methadone. Without this medicine, I would not be working today."
