I do know exactly what you mean. I do need something more however, between the hours of 3- 8. That seems like when the pain flares up more. I am not working now, but may have to go back to my job of teaching piano and guitar in January, and sitting is my problem. The other problem is when I have the most pain, are my hours of teaching, so I have some anxiety about that.
I feel like I could use a slow release pain killer that lasts longer, as my current ones hydrocodone 5mg doesn't quite last long enough ( 2 or maybe 3 hours).
