Well, I am trying to take less pain meds, and there is a burning in my clavicle and shoulder area. This really stinks. I hate the way I feel on the pain meds, we will see how it goes. I was just awarded a partial disability from my pension, which took 10 months now. The good thing is that I will finally have some money coming in.

Keep resting, hopefully the pain starts to fade some. I'm glad you were able to get partial disability, it has been a huge relief for me. Easier to heal when we're not stressing other things too.

I'm lucky not to have many side effects from hydrocodone (Norco/Vicodin), so I stayed on the pain meds for several weeks. What are you taking?

Marc, taking I am taking vicodin. It just makes me feel real out of it, like I am not really thinking clearly and in a zone. I think I would feel better with a few Long Island Iced Teas...lol

Are you taking Vicodin 10/500 or 5/500? Maybe try just taking half a pill and see if you tolerate it better. Are you taking an NSAID?

taking 5/500 vicodin. I have tried just a half, that is what I am currently doing. It has been a bit better. They also have me on 600mg Gabapentin and 600mg ibuprofen 3x day. I am sure it is just going to take time.

The clock starts tick next month when I sign the pension papers. I have 5 years to get back to the police department I worked at, where they have to give me my position back according to Ohio Law. There will be a lot of therapy involved, a lot of pain along the way, but I never backed down from a challenge.
