I must agree to all the above.....take 4 over the counter Motrin....its the same as 800mg. Motrin, or try Aleve, or whatever you ave, but not NARCOTICS!!!!!!!

I would NOT take they hydro. You said you just finished wd, why risk it? If I were you, I would FLUSH the hydro that you do have. Why have temptation in the house with you? See if your doc can prescribe you some 800mg Ibuprofen or something non-narcotic for your pain.
In the meantime, take some regular Ibuprofen or some kind of anti-inflammatory and soak in a hot bath with epsom salt.
You've come so far; don't set yourself back now.
