anyone else still on pain killer at 2 weeks?

July 9, 2004

Hi All,

I went the longest stretch yesterday (from 3pm to midnight) without

an Advil, but woke with a VERY ACHY mouth and a headache and could

not go back to sleep for a couple of hours. i took advil at midnight,

walked, sat in rocker, hard to get comfortable, hard to distract from

discomfort. I tend to be someone who leans toward high pain

threshold, so this is kind of surprising even me. i don't know if its

because of the area of my body (face) or what, but is anyone else

still doing (or have done) tylenol or advil at the 2 week mark? I am

seeing my OS in about an hour so i will discuss with him. I can

tolerate it more during the day than eve i think, but i still feel

like i need the relief.

Yes, I take Ibuprophen every day. My ortho changed my bands and

they are killing me but even before that, I would have a different

pain every day. I talked to an advice nurse yesterday about the

swelling and she said to take Motrin. So I will continue to. The

worst parts of the day are 1st thing in the am and about 8pm at

night.
