I was intubated for 9 days last October for walking pneumonia and ARDS. I spent 1 week in medical recovery and 2 weeks in-patient rehab. I am 68 yrs old and without a spleen. My main problem is an increase with Chronic pain which now includes non specific diffuse pain all over my body. I have been on a supervised pain management program for 20 years.I take 32 mg of EXALGO ER 1xday and 30 mg Oxycodone HCL 4xday. weeks ago I was put on 500 mg naproxyn 2 x day. It began reducing my pain within 24 hrs and continued reduction to a level 2 from a level 6-7. Of course I had to dc the naproxyn 1005 in the 3rd week due to standard upper gi complications. Paradise lost. Any suggestions. Also are there any studies on life expectancy @ age 68.
