Would you mind giving me a little medication advice, @Josephine? My dramatic pratfall -- details in post #355 -- onto my new plastic kneecap was accompanied by my upper left shoulder crashing into the door frame as I went down. It feels like I've got myself some bursitis going on in my left shoulder. I had bursitis once before, and was told to take ibuprofen for it. But I've been taking Aleve twice a day to help with the swelling. I've been icing it for 45 minutes at a time about 4 or 5 times a day, and keeping it level or slightly elevated. It's not very happy. I did treat myself to a bath, but it was a little more difficult to get in and out of the tub because of the knee's swelling.
I do have some Percocet left, but I'd prefer not to take it. I need to drive to appointments and things every day this week. What medication regime should I be on until things settle down? Many, many thanks.
