What Are The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Methadone?
Five years ago I was drinking heavily, really heavily, I cloud not quit without severe withdrawal, I had to go to the emergency room as my lower extremedies were filled with fluid, I was on a methadone treatment for opiad addiction as well. I went through all sorts of test including a cat scan and the outcome was that I had lower extremity edema , and a lesion on my pancreas. Unfortunately but I have a greater sense. What does lesion mean, no one ever explained

Hello,
Lesion just means an abnormality in the tissue. If it were something serious it probably would have gotten much worse over the course of 5 years. There is no way to tell what the lesion is without further testing and possibly biopsy. You may want to consider asking your current doctor to do some repeat studies on your pancreas to look at the lesion again. If it has not changed then it is probably benign.
