YES, i have been on 80mg of methadone for the past 10 years for chronic pain. it was used as a long lasting Rx for relife. in the past month my pain clinic has decided to take me off of it by weening me by reducing the daily dose 1/2 a 10mg pill aday for the last 2 months. the reason was i had a extra tic in my last ekg that the clinic does every year. they told me it could cause me problems in the furture, i have already had open heart surgury 2 years ago. has this drug, which i thought met my needs for long acting pain relife, already caused me problems with my heart?
Here in your explanation few things are not clear:1. For what you are taking painkiller. Which body part have the problem?2. What it means by EKG? Now here assuming EKG is basically you mean electrocardiogram, let me suggest you general way of healing chronic pain1. Do regular exercise with walking or cycling as well for warm up as well for cool down do different stretches.2. You can also joinnyoga therapy.3. Do Panama regularly.4. Do relaxation therapy or meditation regularly.5. Give proper rest and sleep to body.6. Have healthy and balance food.7. Keep more of omega 3 consumption in diet or supplement to have anti-inflammatory effect in body. Apart from this if you have issues do use hot and cold pack frequently to have some more pain relief. Take care.
