Suggest Treatment For Back Pain
I m looking for an on-line doctor who can prescribe methadone for my back pain. I have been taking methadone for 8 years now but my doctor moved and I m tired of trying to find a new doctor in Anchorage. Pain doctors are few and far between here. It would be so nice to handle things from my home-office. It s cold outside!

Thank you for your question.I would suggest you totry alternative therapies for pain relief instead of getting dependent on methadone.One easyway is to Tramadol 100 mg twice a day .There is Kati Basti , an ayurvedic oil for local application for 30 minutes after warming it up.This may give relief from pain and dependence on oral drugs or lessen the need from them.Also try hot fomentation and massage of the back in a spa
