When I first hurt myself, the act of sitting down was so painful I practically stopped drinking just to avoid having to sit down on the toilet. I am also allergic to all the 'good' meds they usually give to people with my injury, so I had to get by with Ibuprofen products - but not on a transatlantic flight. What finally saved me and got me on the road to recovery was a short course of steroids (called a 'Dosepak' I think) which I resisted for several weeks until I had become almost completely bedbound. If you can get to a doctor before you leave, it might give you some help. Hope you feel better soon!MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-31708275733980028212011-06-19T20:53:28.287+01:002011-06-19T20:53:28.287+01:00Poor you, when it rains it pours!
