I was doing well enough, I thought, that I no longer needed to take the ibuprofen (nsaid) or vicodin. So yesterday evening at 6, I didn't take either. I went to bed at midnight.
About 2 am, I woke up, aching like I'd been doing situps. Whups! A snack, an nsaid and a vicodin later, I went back to sleep.
Apparently the nsaid (ibuprofen) has been keeping the inflamation in check, and the vicodin helps relax the muscles.
So, it looks like I really need the drugs, and even putzing around the house can make me sore. I have been a good kid about the lifting restrictions, although the max 10# is a crimp - a gallon of milk weighs 8.5 #!!
