Master Lin said to not take any drugs or alcohol before practicing. I suggest 24 hours before to stop the drug. Could you practice at another time when it's not so paiful for you? I was on antibiotics and I had to wait until I finished them before I could start practicing again. As in all meditation, no drugs or aclochol. Active exercises are a standing meditation. For my pain..I take MSM which is a natural substance that I buy at Vitamin Shoppe.
