800mgs of motrin can be safely taken.. i am told it works very well for pain.. i would try a ice/heat combination too... ice for 10min heat for 10min repeat that helps me when i am in pain.. end with heat though helps relax the immflamation before bed..

Pain can make our addictions play horrible mind games with us... be careful and try to recognize that it is pain and it will pass..healing takes time..
