Heal quickly, my friend.

Pain meds are your friend for a couple of weeks or so. But they also tend to clamp your system up, if you know what I mean. When I was basically living on them during a particularly bad kidney stone episode, I would take only a half tablet (Vicodin) to take the edge off.

But your broken arm is going to have be immobile. That will help with the pain, too.

Take it easy.
