((Windy)) - have you checked with your dr. about neurontin? This is NOT medical advice, but it's a med for nerve pain. I take it for my sciatica...non narcotic, though it does make me sleepy. My stepmom has taken it so much and for so long it doesn't make her sleepy.
Maybe just ask about it? I know the nerve pain is a b***h and when I initially ruptured the disc in my back, the narcotics didn't help it anyway, but the physical therapy and neurontin did.
Get your iced coffee and hope ou get to feeling better soon. I had a customer at work last night, we were trying to talk his 4-year-old daughter into eating her grilled cheese sandwich because she was healing up from a broken arm. I was telling him about your leg. He is from Sarajevo (sp?) and said he's been skiing since he was 4, and hasn't broken a bone...wife, same story. I told him about your daughter breaking her arm last year, so hopefully, you guys are through for the year!!
Heck, if I even LOOKED at skis, I'd probably break something!
Hugs and prayers!
