Should I be up and about?

IC Prednisone 20 MG (3 tablets every day for 5 days)

Cyclobenzaprine 10 MG ( take one tablet every 8 hours as need for muscle spasms

When I got to the hospital the nurse told me I was a 10 in pain, some one else said I was a 6. I had some pretty nasty ranges of pain, I had to crawl to the car to get there because they were afraid of carrying me. I took 20 minutes yesterday just to go to the bathroom, after going to the ER and take 5 pills and two shots in my rear...

They gave me 4 medications

Gabapentin 80 MG ( Take 1 ttablet 4 times a day for 5 days)

Nabumetone 750 MG (take 1 tablet twice a day for two days.)

I don't know exactly what the meds do, I mean if I can be back on my feet or will need thearpy or what

They are masking the pain and I can walk, bed, turn... but I don't know if I should be.

Update:

That's 20 minutes with a cane... But today I can walk and feed myself and clothe myself and go to the bathroom, take a shower which Ihaven't done in 3 days... be able to do, I'm still sore should I stay in bed or walk about? Should I do stretches? I have done therapy 2 or 3 times now so I know how it's done... I don't know if I should be stretching? What I should be doing... thanks.

    Read up on everything. Pain can block the mind, slow it down, distract it, but you don't have to let it. The mind too needs a distraction from the actual pain. Seek out all knowledge on the subject. Google those meds.....................
