Let me also wish you a speedy recovery. Don't neglect your pain medicine, however. It has been shown that pain retards recovery. Besides, there is no need to suffer if you don't have to. Discuss unwanted side effects with your doctor, however. He/she may be able to prescribe an alternative. Good luck and good health!
