Nothing for pain. Toradol for the inflammation, but your only allowed a little at a time cause it's bad for the kidneys.
Like Gumby said so well and I paraphrase.......... you've got to learn to enjoy pain.
So far I've been able to strictly address it with some combination of mind control and stubbornness, changing how pain is perceived to some degree.......... if I could take the drugs I would.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Yeah where did you people meet your doctors? After my accident I was given a prescription for two weeks of some weak-ass pills, no fancy oxy's or morphine or demerol, and ya know what? I did not hurt. Ya know what else? They didn't fuck me up, either. Why would you take something that zonks you out of your mind when you are trying to recover from a potentially disabling injury? I had a hard enough time trying to re-learn balance and stability without my mind being fogged. Fact of the matter is I stopped taking the pills about a week after I left the hospial and as mtne proclaims, I learned to accept and deal with the pain. Suck it up, it'll make ya stronger.

Indeed, I too disliked the side effects of the pills (though I was apparently quite entertaining in the Hospital).Bigshankhank wrote:Yeah where did you people meet your doctors?

Still have most of my scripts half full (no, i'm not sending you any morphine, oxys, percs or dilauded - Rush Limbaugh has dibs). Like Mountain and BSH, you find a way to deal with the pain, or you end up junked out on pills and unable to have a bowel movement, liver damage, no appetite, loopy in a nauseous way and it ain't gonna get any better. Try going for a walk or some sore of ADD friendly activity. Reading or just laying around would have me way too focused on the throbbing pain. Whatever, she'll find a way to cope, she's going to have to.

Be wary with pain meds, they can take over very easily. Sunny, keep a close watch on your little girl and be a hard-ass about making her take the pain once the prescription runs out.

Some rules I go by.
1-If you starts inflicting more pain on yourself to distract from the pain, you need some pills.
2- If you start arguing 'Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver' style with inanimate objects, you need some pills.
3-If you seriously consider surgery or a hacksaw to remove the painful limb, you need some pills.
4-If you go four days without sleeping because of the pain, you need some damn pills.
5-Video games are the best distraction from heavy pain (motorcycles are nice as well, but with rule #1 it gets messy)
6-Anytime you are taking pain killers (any pills really, but especially pain killers), drink lots of water and eat food high in fiber.
7-The doctors/hospital always try to skimp on the pain killers because we live in a country where the irresponsibility of the few outweigh the needs of the many. I shouldn't even get started on my rant about it.
It is possible for many people who live with chronic pain to get along better in life with regular pain management. The rotten thing about pills is that you have to drop the dosage way down every few weeks or you'll end up eating them like popcorn. It's a crappy way to live, but it can be worse without. If there are no drug tests in the future, there's nothing like a good green brownie...
Well, there are some things like it... but you won't remember afterward

Glad things are going well Sunny!
After I was discharged from the hospital a few days after the surgery to repair my broken leg (femur), I was given a bottle of codeine pills. My mother (a doctor) was adamant that I did not take them. She didn't want me on narcotics. I was able to sell them at college for a decent amount of beer money. Tylenol dulled the pain enough for me, though it made my physical therapy sessions interesting.
Pharmaceuticals do expire, though I do not know the shelf-life of Vicodin. With pain meds, especially opiates, the potency diminishes over time.MATPOC wrote:Great news, how long before the cast comes off?
Save the pills, they are not gonna go bad. I stockpiled a month worth of Vikes the first time I broke my leg so the next time I was in a cast and my insurance ran out they came in handy.
