Grade 2 adductor strain, 42 yo female, 115 lbs, what dose would you recommend?
I was in a car accident. I'm not sure what happened to my body, but I was t-boned by a car going about 10mph, the seat belt tightened and I am pretty sure I braced myself as I got hit. I thought I was fine, an hour later I was in excruciating pain. It's been one month. The pain has gone down about 90 percent.
The doctor told me it may be a grade 2 adductor strain, but no definitive diagnosis bc they are garbage and didn't give me a pelvic mri. I can't get a physical therapy appointment for 9 more weeks. I know, it's insane, but this is how it is.
Currently, I can walk, I can stand, and the pain is just mildly bad, but constant. Sitting is horrible. Working is extremely difficult. My inner thigh burns. My butt muscles are really tight, especially by the end of the day, and the leg stuff hurts, but only if I do stuff. My lower back gets very very very painful by the end of the day. It's moderately bad, but obviously healing, just very slowly. Pain level is about 5-7 most waking hours. (Accident was 1 month and three days ago.)
Eight days ago I started bcp-157. I take 500mcg injected in my inner thigh or lower stomach every morning. It doesn't feel like it is doing much.
Question: Should I up it to 500mcg am and 500mcg pm?
Any advice would help. My job is active and I haven't been able to work since this happened without excruciating pain, and no more than 2-4 hours a day. I'd love to get back to at least 4 hours of work a day, as I don't have any unemployment. I'm a self employed artist.
