Comment:
I have been in cronic pain for a serious back injury for 20 years. I've been on methadone for the last 5 years, and it has help me deal with my pain many times over. I've been on many different pain medications, and methadone has proven the most cost effective and pain reliever. I hope this forum will help someone who is dealing with a similer problem.
