I take methadone because its the cheapest pain relief I can get. Without insurance or a lot of money living in America and you dont have many options. You do what you can, or you just die.
as for seeing a doctor asap, Id love too. do you know any in the St. Louis Missouri area that can accommodate someone who only gets 750 a month on SSDI and no other means of income? I haven't found any yet , at least none with an opening for new patients. Even though Medicare has a predetermined amount they pay, most doctors still charge the patient for a lot more than what Medicare says its worth. Thats why I had to stop going to doctors in the past. Medicare say I'm responsible for $100 of the bill, but the doctors office says I'm responsible for $3oo of it and says they are under no obligation to abide by Medicare charge scale.

cant get work so I cant get insurance. And I have worked since the age of 9. Working on farms then, and I worked hard and did well up until this accident happened, Now no one will hire he for even the lowest wage jobs. Now Im seen as a leach on the system and lazy, dont want to work, useless, and many more things that I am now classified as. No one cares you worked all your life, sometimes 3 jobs at a time, and barely missed a day of work in your life.
