I've tried Naprosyn, Motrin and I'm currently on Vioxx - none of them seem to do much at all. I had an addiction problem a few years ago so I'm pretty aprehensive of narcotics. I know that there will probably come a time when I will have no option, and that was one reason why I was trying to get into a pain clinic now. I've been feeling pretty good since late last Thursday, so right now I'm coasting, if you know what I mean.
I'm counting my blessings, because it's been a while since the pain has been this tolerable. Does your pain level change like this? I mean, I don't even KNOW that I have adhesions, we just figure I do because of the symptoms. Somedays I think maybe I'll fall on my head and it will all go away (smile)! Most days I don't know what to think - I'm sort of in an "I'm darned if I do or don't" situation. Just like everyone else, I guess.
PLEASE, please, please don't mention our sickly dollar - we buy our product in the U.S. and sell it in Canada!
It hurts right where it counts (pocketbook) right now....
