So most of you know I've been dealing with a shoulder injury that's been getting progressively worse as the weeks wear on. It's gotten to the point where I'm taking the maximum dose (800mg or 4x200mg) 4 times a day. This isn't killing the pain anymore. I'm finding myself waking up at night now because I slept on my shoulder or I rolled over on it or my arm got twisted in bed and my shoulder moved in the joint. The pain is becoming debilitatingly painful at times now to the point where I don't even use my shoulder in fear that it'll slip in the joint and cause a lot of pain.
I need to find something that works better and won't kill my kidneys and I don't see my doc till after the holidays. So obviously something non Rx. Any advice is helpful at this point, I've been icing it pretty much daily now because the cold numbs the pain for a bit.
I gotta be able to get more than 4 hours of sleep a night. This is awful but I'm not sure where to go from here.
As a side note, I have an extremely high pain tolerance and I still can't seem to work around this kind of pain. I gave myself stitches a few months ago but this just makes me want to chop my whole arm off at times.
