(64,990 posts)But, it wasn't enjoyable in any way.
I had a tiny bone spur in my left shoulder caused by a collision in a charity softball game. (Naturally)
Had a cortisone shot and doc gave me Oxycontin & Butazolodin.
Told me to take one of each and get into a tub as hot as I could take getting the shoulder under water.
Did as suggested. Radio was on and suddenly a different song was playing. I then realized the water was barely above room temperature.
I asked my wife how long I was in there and she Saud about an hour & a half.
I said "Weren't you worried about me? How did you know I didn't drown?"
She replied "I was in there talking to you 3 times."
I have no recollection of those conversations.
I decided that painkiller was not for me. I forgot 90 minutes of my life, although fully conscious! Never took one again.
In three days, the pain was completely gone and the follow-up showed no spur. Didn't really need them.
