Yep, day three of severely cutting back on pain meds and things are going very good. I still need to take Ibuprophin around every 4 hours but the biggest part is that I've only taken a dosage and a half of the hard stuff within that 3 day period. I was taking the ibuprophin <i>along with</i> a full dosage of the hard stuff every 4 hours. <img alt="hello2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello2.gif">
