I have started reading on all-natural herbs that may help with the pain and other things. For a deeper, more restful sleep, it recommends mixing lavendar and vanilla oils and placing then near you when you sleep. I put some on a small rag and drap it over my small fan. My husband and I both noticed that we don't feel as tired in the morning. Have been doing this for 3 days. I'll let you know if it is still working in about a week. Also, I take 15 mg roxicodone every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. It doesn't make me croggy too bad. I've had no luck with flexeril.
