Glad you are back. Medication can be so difficult. Do also be very careful with over the counter meds. Trying to recover from my broken neck I began using high dose motrin. That is once I could because at first it was Tylenol.
The high dose motrin has began to have an effect on my kidney function. The blood work shows a drop in function in just a matter of 3 months. So just be careful.
Managing this latest surgery has taken a whole team of pain management doctors.
