The pain is less than before. I detoxed off the oxycodone and now just take a vicodin when needed which hasn't been too often. I still hurt but it is less. My hands and feet are still swollen but not as painful. I guess it all went from a SCREAMING 8-9 on the pain scale to a more tolerable 5-6. A "normal" person would be complaining but after hurting so bad for so long, it all becomes relative!
