Ive been on methadone for cronic pain for seven years now I havent failed any drugs test or pill counts but my dr. said because he is not a pain dr. he will n longer prescribe the clinics will not see me for pain and I cant find the help I need from any other dr. Im in Asheville N.C. what can/should I do !?
His understand your concern. Chronic pain can be treated with different modalities. Management is depended upon site of pain. Minor surgical correction in nerve root supply will decrease pain if site is accessible to surgery. For that you have to consult pain specialist. Medicines like TCA can be beneficial. Amitriptyline or bothering is choice in chronic pain. Avoid methadone as it is opioid derivatives and highly addictive. Underlying psychological stress and its assessment also give good results. Consult psychiatrist and pain specialist for better assistance. I hope I have answered you query. Happy to help you further. Thank you.
