You probably wouldn’t want the percs for the reason split mentioned. It would have the opposite effect of a stool softener, which would make for a miserable experience. One of those cushions will probably help at some point, not just likely for a few weeks.

It sucks not to be able to sit, but thankfully you can lay down without discomfort and sleep. I’d just take it easy way and catch up on sleep and get through it.
Yeah, I got about 11 hours of sleep yesterday, which is a ton for me, I am usually 5 to 6 a night. I went to bed last night at 8pm and woke up at 3am, everything is just off. I actually got a cane delivered from Amazon yesterday. Balance purposes, terrified from falling again. I am not a complainer, but the pain is immense. I can see why people take pain medication. I am resisting and staying away, but when you get shooting barbs up your spine you just want it to go away. Fucking worst.


having had radicular pain in the past i can say unapologetically, there is a time and place for strong pain killers. Anyone who says otherwise, hasn't walked the walk.
