one week later

Still in significant pain, but things seem to be improving somewhat. Pain level is perhaps a 5 with an occasional 8 if I move wrong. I've realized that I can only stand or sit for 45 minute t0 1 hour stretches before I start hurting pretty badly and need to go lie down again. I really think I pushed myself way too hard on Tuesday and Wednesday this week when I was taking a lot of percocet and basically feeling no pain. I've cut my dosage and will be looking to cut it even more. Now, I'm taking the following:

• Percocet (oxycodone): 7.5mg 6x/day = 45mg/day (pain reliever)
• Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): 10mg 3x/day = 30mg/day (muscle relaxant)
• Gabapentin (neurontin): 100mg 2x/day = 200mg/day (nerve inhibitor)

Still battling constipation, thanks to the oxycodone. So, I'm taking some stuff to help keep things moving. Such fun
