Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Well I finally found the right mixture and dosage of meds to control the pain and still be able to function. It is funny how different people react to different meds. I can take Vicodin and still function normally and it does little for the pain yet I know people who will sleep for 12 hours with one Vicodin. Anyway since the Vicodin didn't do much my Dr. gave me percocet again, I can't function normally with it, but I found that if I do half a percocet every 3 hours instead of 1 every 4 I can get through the day, then the flexoril at night let's me sleep. I hate to take so many meds, but it's better than the pain. I have an MRI and CT scheduled tomorrow and an appointment with my OS to see when if and when the second surgery will be. Can't wait til this is over and I can have a normal life again Marsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
