I herniated a disk a little over 3 months ago and had to have emergency surgery because the pain was so great. They said the herniation was so big they should of had a camera in there! I had hoped that the pain would stop with the surgery, but my nerve is still very angry and it aches like a bad headache all the time. Mornings are the worst. Mornings are more like a bad migraine, then as I walk on it it becomes a bad headache. Only its my entire right leg. I am taking 30mg of Prednisone a day to try and calm it but I was taking 800mg of Ibuprofin with the steroids WITH a Percocet 10/350 and a Vistoril three to four times a day and I found that combo I was almost pain free. Then my doctor told me the steroids and Ibuprofin do NOT go together and all I can take is the Percocet. I find that I really like the Percocet though. I have only been taking it about 10 days but I ran out over the weekend and have to wait until Monday to get a new script. I cried. I don't know if it was because of the anticipation of the pain or missing the Percocet. I really hope its not because I want the Percocet. But thanks for posting. Sometimes it feels like I will have leg pain forever.
