Well - your pain clearly isn't from swelling - the only thing NSAID's (APAP, ibu, ASA) are good for. You need real pain meds, opiates most likely, to control your pain. Something like Tramadol is NOT going to cut it, either.
I went to my gp doc today. He rx me prednisone for now, and gave me ten days worth of tramadol samples. Perhaps the nsaids weren't strong enough for my level of inflammation? Everything is clearly swollen on me. I hope the tramadol works a bit
But for today I. Just had my first go about making poppy seed tea. About to see if it works or not
