Oh and by the way, when I was burned (2nd and 3rd degree over 27% of my body from the waist up), they were giving me morphine for the first couple hours before they realized it just didn't react with me at all. So you're right, you do learn very quickly what works and does not work.
Good luck you everything bro,

Thanks, I decided to today that Im going to try physical therapy first, as well as light lower back exercise to get some muscle strength back. I think if I can do enough of it and get a routine down I can keep the pain manageble with the medication im on now. If it doesnt keep the pain managable I'll do the epidural/fentanyl but i'll still do the exercise
