Just thought I would update. Meds are working most days- as long as I don't do anything! most serene days ( up+ about the house maybe an errand or two but no house cleaning) my pain is about a 3; but ANY housework or a long walk makes my pain go up to 6 or 7 and I have to take muscle relaxer and narcotic pain reliever to bring it down. I feel like this is just the way the rest of my life is going to be.
