RT, Alot of us know what your going through and understand. Once in awhile the pain makes us all act like aholes, and we take it out on the ones we love most, or not? Stay away from the 12hr dose of Percs, they are very habit forming and all I have heard is bad. I've had lower disk surgery and both of my shoulders are pretty bad, sometimes a Perc(reg) or Vicoden is the only thing that helps curb the pain, other than a good fishing trip! But remember, if you need to unload to feel better were here for you brother. Let er go!
