Best wishes again, regarding painkillers, I am impressed with your attempt to minimize intake - I was on oramorph/tramadol/brufen/paracetemol & voltarol for almost two months and was still in pain most of the time - I found certain combination worked better than others and to try to get to a mix that worked during the day, I had a spreadsheet as a reminder of what to take a when.... for me if I couldn't sleep or was woken by pain, I found that oramorph or tramadol helped you get back to sleep & in the morning I didnt feel too drousy.
