yeah, i'm not really sure how to do that tho when i'm already taking the max prescribed dosage of everything.
pain is a little bit more managed today, i think i just can't really get up more than once or twice or longer than 5 minutes. its kind of a different type of pain now, more constant. its all just kind of weird how a few days ago the pain started getting way better and then it crashed again.
