Feb 15-24th, 2010, Medications and My Observations

I not only want to keep track of what's been going on but possibly this will help another going through the same thing. These were recorded on my iPhone App Meds Log. This is my first week on Oxycodone pills. I've been taking 1 pill every 6 hours and then 1/2 a pill on the 3 hr mark between the 1 pill times.

Date	Time	Med	Dose	Notes/Overall Condition
15-Feb	10:16 PM	T3		Took 2. Side of calf starting to pulsate as I try to sleep. When I doze off leg pulsates!
16-Feb	11:02 PM	T3		Better but when I relax my buttocks, leg hurts down to ankle.
17-Feb	06:07 PM	Flexeril	½ a pill
19-Feb	07:30 AM	Oxy	½ a pill	Could feel burning intensify in my leg as well as numb foot. Took 1/2 pill to try to tame the pain. It never left but stopped being all I could feel.
	09:10 AM		1 pill	Foot is more numb than yesterday. Buttocks difficult to impossible to relax to go potty. Leg is burning. Lower back has seized up. Flexibility is close to zero.
	06:23 PM		½ a pill	Able to go #1 w/no problem. :) Leg is burning down to just below knee. Foot quite numb. Period should be starting soon. Must gain some flexibility back to deal with it. :( Right butt cheek quite painful getting out of bed. Back of knee quite tender. CT Scan tomorrow @ RCH. Had almost an hour nap 5-6pm.
20-Feb	12:00 AM		½ a pill	Back of right leg burning. Butt & spine sore. Foot numb. Able to go #1 no problem. Excited for CT Scan. Hope it shows what needs to be shown!
	09:00 AM		1 pill	Drove to & from CT Scan. No affect on driving. Got close to home & close to 9am when leg started burning. Wanted to get out & walk just so I didn't have to sit on it.
	12:01 PM		½ a pill	Was taking a nap.
	09:09 PM		1 pill	Outside & underside of leg hurting. Right side of right foot quite numb. Feeling quite low tonight. Wish my future wasn't so uncertain. :'(
21-Feb	12:01 PM		½ a pill	Leg achy. Heel feeling cold.
22-Feb	06:00 PM		1 pill	Took a whole pill by accident. :(
	09:11 PM		1 pill	Took whole pill @ 6:00pm by accident. Didn't want to mess w/my schedule so took a full one @ 9pm. *sigh
24-Feb	03:04 PM		1 pill	Took 1/2 a pill to see what the pain level is as Dr wants me on less pills by Tuesday next. Right leg has been quite sore today. Pain similar to previous pains that feel like a hollow in the hip. Also hip flexors feel strained but I can't think of anything I've done to strain them.
