Meg.92 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'd recommend taking paracetamol when you take stronger pain killers, max every 4hrs with total of 4 doses/day. It helps make the stronger pain killers eg tramadol, endone work better. If you're taking Panadeine Forte it already has paracetamol in it Emily5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittybittyk Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I found at this point, staying as upright as possible helped me. I would often have a little rest in bed, but built up a big pillow fort so keep me reasonably upright. It was hopeless in terms of decent sleep, but it helped with my pain levels. And def keep up the icing - it was my saviour! I did find that the pain eased off a little from about day 6/7, so hang in there! Oh and don't try and do anything too soon. I got really sore and exhausted whenever I tried to do much in the first 2 weeks, so take it as easy as possible. Emily5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarpersBizzar Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Take all your meds, rest and try not to do too much in a day otherwise you'll pay for it the following day! Emily5 and barbalicious40 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthinkingit Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Saying upright and moving was the thing that seemed to help me the most. Emily5 and Vic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
