"i was prescribed this medication after returning to work 3 weeks after a moderate ankle sprain. i am alternating 800 mg of motrin and 1000 mg of tylenol every 6 hours around the clock, so basically i am taking something every 3 hours and icing/elevating my ankle when pain meds are due.  it has been 2 months since my injury and am still in severe pain, i have had to modify my work schedule and i basically sit around doing as little as possible to rest. i am on my feet at work for 12 hours at a time, in a walking boot, which is also causing me lower back and hip pain. after i come home for work, i take 2 tylenol #3 and it does nothing. i do not take pain medicine often, but this is providing 0 pain relief and makes me very nauseated."
