Norco dose frequency

[Friday]

Just want to add that you should take a stool softener daily when on the norco. Or drink prune juice. Narcotics tend to be constipating.

Thanks for the reminder. I just ordered some medicine for that and it'll get here today.

Still have significant pain when the pills wear off. Taking ibuprofen and norco as you suggested. Keeping the leg elevated is important, but I need help with that because even with the support of my good leg, I can't help but flex the quad a little. I need someone to lift the leg whenever I get into or out of bed, or whenever I rest the calf on the piano bench when I sit at my computer. I am being very careful.

@Horace, congratulations on the successful surgery.
Sorry to hear that you are still in pain.
Hope you get well soon.

Are you supplementing with more acetaminophen?

No, I don't have any of that. Just ibuprofen.

Get you some! It’ll make a huge difference.

George, you've spent too much time talking about country music. Put on some Haydn.

[Jolly]

There is no such thing as too much country music.

[Copper]

In Smithfield, we play both kinds of music, Country and Western.

How are things today?

Doing well, thanks George. Taking the acetaminophin as you described. Also realized I can lift my leg by wrapping my hoodie under the calf and pulling with my arms, so I'm a little more independent. Won't have to wake up my wife several times a night to use the bathroom. Eventually I'll be able to use my good leg to support it but the pain does not allow for that currently. I can't help but activate the bad quad when I try to do that. Anyway the pain is getting better every day, and I won't need the full supply of opioids.

Several times a night? You're too young to have Old Man's Disease.

Glad to hear you're doing better!

Too much coffee... and not enough sleep.

[Mik]

Sleep is your friend right now, in a lot of ways. Cut back on the coffee.
