Hi ,

unbearable.

I had a similar experience when I had thyroid surgery several years ago. I

was so concerned about how bad I was going to feel not being able to take my

Tylenol (back then it was the only thing I could take, besides Vioxx, which

I was put on and taken off, back and forth, depending on my liver function

tests). When I came out of the drug induced stupor from the operation, I

just *swung* my legs over the side of the bed like I'd never had a stiff day

in my life! This continued for about 2 weeks (?), not sure on the time

frame, since it was so long ago... It at least continued through the early

part of my recovery. I thought I was cured!

Unfortunately, the symptoms returned, and since I hadn't been diagnosed yet,

and was not on DMARDs, I continued to get worse and the areas of pain

spread.

I later decided it must have had something to do with the drugs the

anestheseologists had used on me. Regardless of what happens in your case,

please enjoy feeling good!!
