Pain Medicine

Last week my wrist got so bad I couldn't move it at all and I was at work...no good. So I went to the doctor and she gave me some non-narcotic pain medicine so I could take them and still work. They helped but they DID make me sleepy, contrary to what the doctor said. Oh well. It's gotten better since then, but I had a physical therapy appointment yesterday and he wants me to wear a brace as much as I can until I can get surgery. I also have a list of exercises/stretches and hot/cold baths he wants me to do every day. No problem. It is a little difficult doing things with a brace on, though.
