No rollercoasters.

Yoga, does it cause you symptoms?
Careful with strenuous activity.

For me pain meds are not good as I am active as can be and would get on a skateboard tomorrow if I could, not to mention motorcycles, travel, carry suitcases, travel, finish building my house..
If I take pain meds I will cause injury as I will push the limit due to less pain. Pain is the body's alarm system. It is very hard to stop but better for you long term. You really don't want to take stronger pain meds then those you have tried unless you got constant pain and you can't get up and you can't function. If there is anyway to function with less pain medication then go that route. The strong meds have a lot of long-term side effects. The longer you take them the worse it gets.
