I'm in the same situation and have still not been able to find a good solution. I basically can't take anything during the day and still be able to function but most days I can't function anyway due to the pain. I basically just try to suffer through, but to be honest I'm considering quitting my job and trying to work part time. It doesn't seem fair to give up my career but I am really having a tough time trying to keep it right now. I have found that I can function pretty well on darvocet and am lucky enough that my husband can drive on the days that I need to take it. It is not as strong as the other meds but does at least take the edge off so i can continue working and not be a complete zombie. I also sometimes wear those thermacare heating pads at work and they help a little too. Maybe there are some other women out there that have found some other things that might be able to help us too? Take Care, Kimberly
