Thank you for the clarification Mark, I really appreciate it. Do you know if the swelling under the eye will go away? Some days it is really swollen and noticeable. It can make a girl a little self conscious

Lightrail, it is good to hear that some people have had a good recovery from an injury like this!

Abel, he did not say anything about the dull ache and what to take. I do agree with Mark to wait until it pounding gets really bad, then I take a Vicadin. ( which isn't always good because of the side effects that comes with taking vicadin) I have only had to do that twice in the past 3 months. I will say though, that if there is one symptom that doesn't go away, I wouldn't mind it being the painful headaches. I used to get migraines all the time before the injury. It would be nice to be pain free for awhile.
