Oh and I forgot to mention in my previous post about Celebrex. It’s NOT a controlled substance (so your Dr. can call it in to the pharmacy, and you can get refills), but there is no generic for it, so it can be a bit pricy. Take just once a day, as needed. It’s in the same family as advil, so the side effects are kind of similar, but this drug is much more powerful then an advil. It’s a pretty good alternative for people who can’t handle codeine or other harder pain killers.
You can also do strength training exercises, but take it easy, don’t strain yourself. It just builds some muscle, and strength, and that can ease the pain as well.
I’m sorry you have to go through this, especially at such a young age. Hope this info helps a bit.
