I am still very much aware of my body and all of the changes it is going through. I don't know how well pain management works for others, but I'd suspect that its probably somewhat similar.
The pain medicine works to a certain degree, but after a period of time you get adjusted to it and no longer get the same effect.
One can't continue to take ever-increasing dosage without causing other harmful effects, so I expect that I'm not alone in having to limit the amount of medicine I can take and having to live with a lot of pain still.
Just wanted to give you another perception.
Thanks, DT
