I am on Vicodin 300mg, Ketorolac 10mg Methocarbamol 500mg, Arnica pills and Cipro 500mg and in severe pain. I can't stand up fully, I have to walk hunched or there are 3 places that give a shocking, burning sensation that brings me to tears and yelling in pain. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said I was fine. Very swollen and bruised but ok. They gave me a shot to help the swelling. Today I am no better. Why am I getting severe burning? I feel like I will pull something if I stand up straight.
