I have been laid out in bed since Sunday evening, it's now Thursday, with a bad virus. I was checked for flu with a negative test result. I am slowly getting better and am back at work today for the first time this week.
Since 4-30, my pain level increased again back to 6-8. For pain treatment, Dr. Abraham prescribed Oxycodone since Percocet has worked in the past, which contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. That gave me the relief I needed and was able to get me lain level down to 4-5 where I could function again.
My pain level dropped off Tuesday afternoon down to a 3-4 and has stayed there since then. I stopped taking all pain medications except Neurontin. This is a welcome relief and I think is the end of this pain cycle, which has lasted about 6 weeks. I didn't have any ulcers this time.
I haven't made my appointment with Dr. Belgrade but will soon to come up with a plan for the future.

Aspirin 325 mg oral Take 325 by mouth daily
