Re: 2 Questions....Need advice

Your info did help, thank you. The dr finally called me something in
for pain the other day. He has me taking 500mg of Hydrocodone - 2 pills
every 4-6 hours. Unfortunately, they knock me on my rear, so I can only
take 1 at bedtime. So far I haven't found anything that I can take
during the day that will help. I don't want to have to call them back
especially since it took them 3 days to return my call the last time.
Plus I have less than a week until my surgery and I have my pre-op done
on Monday so I'll be talking to him then.
I will try something for muscle spasms and see if that'll help.
I have noticed that my pain will ease at the end of the day. It seems
that sitting for a long period of time will aggrivate whatever is going
on, so I try to get up every 30 minutes and walk around for a little
while.
Again, thanks for the advice! Bea
