i'm hoping to get epiderals that way the drugs bypass your liver and other organs because the drugs go right into your bloodsteam.
how come you went of the cliff on your bike, that sounds like a terrible crash, i hope substance abuse was'nt a cause. take care my friend.
Thanks for the info on Ibuprophen as I have been a nurse for over 20 years I am aware of the risks of OTC meds. But it is good information to share here.

I had a series of 3 epidurals for my back pain (from a different wreck where I was re-ended, 2 years ago). The first one worked for about 3 weeks, the second and third made no difference. But I have heard of people who had great results with them.

I was sober when I when off the cliff, actally 3 days past 6 months sober. I decided at the age of 35 I could learn to drive a motorcycle. Not bright for someone who hadn't been on a bicycle in over 20 years. I was doing fine until the 5th time I got on it and was up in the mountains when I went into a curve and I was on the yellow line and so was a truck coming at me. Fortunately I missed the truck but didn't miss the guardrail and cliff. The guard rail stopped the bike but I was thrown over the edge. Needless to say I no longer have the desire to drive a motorcyle. The things we do in early sobriety....lol
