Haven't heard of Methadone or Neurontin being prescribed here in the UK but maybe it goes under a different name?
1800mg sounds a lot, but what do i know?! Wouldn't like to feel sluggish, that's the trouble when you need really strong painkillers, there's always a drawback, I know codeine slows the bowel down too.
I know about the myelogram headache as well..... had one in 1983, never felt so ill, was sick everytime I moved my eyes or turned my head. Apparently the dye gets to the top of the spinal cord and inflames the brain...so I was told. My laminectomy (1st one I ever had) was delayed by a week following the myelogram because it made me so ill. It left me with circles under my eyes!
When I was asked to have another one done in 1988 I refused, point blank. I travelled to London to have a private MRI done, cost £300 back then but it was worth it!
Am considering paying privately again to have a cervical MRI done if I'm not offered one on the NHS soon.
Well done with the walking, I'm not up to much of that lately but hopefully it's a temporary situation!
Best wishes
Lynette
