A quick glance at the Merck Index shows that there are lots that are very much stronger. Ask your doctor if GT94, X45 or FW4a is for you.

Raggie, if your Doctor okays it, try Turmeric. It's a good daily anti inflammatory. I've lived with pain 23/7 for the last twenty years, taken most of the opiates and NSAIDs like Naproxen and Diclofenac, and they all help, but you don't really want to stop the pain, just make it bearable while you heal. You will heal. Turmeric can relieve some of the background aches and pains. Use opiates sparingly and for a short time. You don't want to eliminate the pain, so much as "take the edge off". Hang in there, you'll be surprised at just how strong you can be.
Another opinion:
Consider going off the serious pain meds perhaps during the day; taking them at night to hopefully get a restorative sleep. That way your digestive system won't slow down drastically every day and night, causing a torpid intestine.
Consider trying to distract yourself from the horrible pain.

So later on down the road, say this coming autumn (didn't want to call it "fall" for obvious reasons) if you struggle to get a jacket over your injured arm due to lack of motion ability a trick I learned is to stick your good arm in the jacket, pull it on, then stick your hand into the other sleeve hole and pull the jacket over the arm that doesn't work like it used to.
One injury I had reduced my range of motion a lot. The therapist called it "frozen joint syndrome" and we worked on that a few visits. Back then each time I was putting on a jacket was a new adventure in pain. I learned that trick and even though the arm works near normal now I still do it out of habit. My arm is never going to be 100% without surgery but 95% and a few tricks here and there I learned from the therapist I called Doogie Howser and life is good.

If it is too long to walk, and too expensive to deliver, then you can take a horse drawn carriage, but that is not safe unless you take a gun for the ride.

Raggie33, if there is a church near you they might be able to help you on transportation and even come and check up on you daily. They might invite you to church, but there shouldn't be any obligation. They might even cook for you. If I was in your same shoes I wouldn't hesitate to ask them even if I wasn't a Christian. Those church people are supposed to care about anyone in the community. It might come to you having a list of numbers to call if you need anything. Is there a church close to you?

On the above comment I'm not trying to force Christianity on you- just point you to some help. You might even wind up finding you a good wife there. 🙂

Ain't no telling lol. You have to go where they are though and let them get used to you. Always try to look at their heart though- not the superficial outside that fades away. I know that is difficult to do, but you will thank yourself later.

What excitement? You talking about the excitement that comes after he dates her a year or two and they agree to marry? He should be healed by that time. Nothing wrong with being excited about her coming over and cooking or taking him places though.
Just remember- we were talking about church women.
