Anyone awake?

Oick! Is anyone awake?
For quite a while I've been experiencing pretty bad inflammation in my arthritic knees. Finally! My orth doc gave me shots and I'm hugely better. But. I have been largely inactive for quite a while and after the shots was told to stay off the legs for 48 hours. Guess how much fun that was with my rls. Now I'm pain free and grateful but the back lash is driving me round the twist. I take my normal amounts of Gabapentin, Clonazapam and hydrocodone only to have breakthrough symptoms which require more medication. I'm going to come close to running out of Hydrocodone, although I'm likely to make it just under the wire. I don't like to increase and have never had to ask for more. The new laws make me feel like a criminal.
My neurologist is great and would absolutely help me out, but I recently moved from MA TO ME and you can't call this stuff in. Crickey!
A lot the time I do just great and rarely have to suffer. But then comes along a situation like knee pain or the necessity to travel—strapped in, the worst—and I need to use a bit more meds. Right now I'm using more of all three of my meds, by just a bit, trying desperately to manage. I feel for those of you who have to go through this all the time.
Waiting for the extra to kick in. It's raining hard here. I'm in my attic room. Love the sound of rain on the roof. Helping calm me while I wait.
