I have tapered down to 2.5 mg of Percocet 3/day and hope to be off of it soon (I had withdrawl symptoms last time I titrated off too quickly). I am still dependent on Valium to keep my SCM tension and occipital headaches under control.

I'm confident that the majority of my remaining post-surgical pain is rotator cuff: AC joint bursitis & supraspinatus tendinitis (icing and ultrasound/TENS combo have helped greatly). I hope to get AC joint cortisone injections for the bursitis/tendinitis next week. I am scheduled for Botox in two weeks: occipital headache protocol plus SCM dystonia protocol (not EMG-guided).





If the Botox doesn't work, I may be looking at being on Valium indefinitely.
