Thanks Sharon, my throat hurts too but it is getting less and less every day, honest. Do you have an earache as well? I have a dull earache also that comes and goes in tandem with the throat ache. I have many good days where it does not hurt at all. I wanted soft food for a while too...soup was especially nice.
I did accidentally turn over in bed and turn my head too hard while at the same time having it down, ie chin to chest. So it was chin to chest and turned to the side at the same time which we are not supposed to do. Not supposed to do the up version either: no tipping the head up to the sky then turning it to the side at the same time. Those movements are not good for the stent area if you have high jugular stents. My PCP told me the reason is not that they will pinch off and get crimped, as I feared, but that they might be nudged and move. A stent going free in your circulation would not be a good thing.
Anyway the turn over in bed flared it up and made it very sore for a day again--so I recommend that you don't do that!!
I did percocet during the day for about 3 days but I have used it only at bedtime for the last 2 weeks. I do that so I can really drop off and sleep well, percocet also helps my stomach relax. I will be off it soon though. I am not at all good about taking medicines like that... I do not like them at all.
When can I read YOUR regimen entry?
