I guess the stress of that particular job would be rather horrendous at times what with the noise in the store itself and sometimes angry customers. No wonder you had headaches. It's great you can now lie down whenever you need to.<br />Dencorub is helping but there are places where I can't reach so dear old Phil to the rescue again.<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-29071151558958734012015-04-02T13:38:47.674+08:002015-04-02T13:38:47.674+08:00I of late find Dencorub is the best quick fix.

I am fortunate in having Phil now understanding where the tender spots are and he does a good job not only administering the Dencorub but also massaging those tight muscles. He is worth his weight in gold to me at times.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-20945717140312410262015-04-02T13:36:32.589+08:002015-04-02T13:36:32.589+08:00I think my daughter uses Ibuprofen for bad pain bu...I think my daughter uses Ibuprofen for bad pain but I keep away from it 'cos it contains a substance not good for me.<br />Your problem is far worse than mine so I shouldn't complain so loudly but whatever any of us suffers from is our own pain and we would all dearly love the boffins to find a quick fix so we could smile 24/7.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-76182215310510504832015-04-02T13:34:56.692+08:002015-04-02T13:34:56.692+08:00Please Yam don't apologise for the 'rant&#...Please Yam don't apologise for the 'rant'.<br />I am fortunate that my arthritis is only degenerative but it still hurts like crazy.<br />I refuse to take morphine type drugs as they cause addiction and the body becomes used to them over time and then what do you have left?<br />I have been told mild anti-depressants can help but even with them I have my doubts. Discussion with GP obviously necessary on that subject. He will not let me take NSAIDS as they conflict with a blood pressure med I'm taking and he's also worried about effect on kidneys.<br />It's definitely a no win situation when it comes to severe pain and pain killers and there is certainly no simple solution.<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-25059902504947945942015-04-02T11:50:31.744+08:002015-04-02T11:50:31.744+08:00I found Panadol Osteo to be completely useless and...I found Panadol Osteo to be completely useless and gave up before I'd even finished the packet. I threw them away, but crushed them first in case they were found by kids going through rubbish or whatever. I found regular Panadol only helped if I took four or six at a time and every four hours. In the last few months before I quit working I was taking far more than the recommended amount on a daily basis; since quitting I've stopped taking it altogether. The migraines have gone too.<br />Now when I get achy, I can sit with a hot water bottle or go and lie down, couldn't do either of those at work.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-81691115206198167382015-04-02T06:36:27.637+08:002015-04-02T06:36:27.637+08:00I use Tylenol for arthritis occasionally and somet...I use Tylenol for arthritis occasionally and sometimes Aleve..Neither one does much for me sadly.

With doctors I have explored alternatives to help with the deep seated pain. Fail. Nothing (that they are prepared to allow me) does more than take the edge off. Sometimes swimming helps for a while. Sometimes walking gently helps. Often nothing helps.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-57336115283724943892015-04-01T20:32:59.748+08:002015-04-01T20:32:59.748+08:00Hari Om

One of those involved being part of a trial for indomethacin a quarter century back. It damaged my liver. This was one of the things which resulted in my needing to find alternatives ... sigh.. long story short, anything which requires long term treatment ought not to be ingestive. <br /><br />For acute and localised pain I do keep Aspro and Ibuprofen in the drawer. It usually goes out of date, it gets used so infrequently. Such medications were <b>never</b> intended for long-term use. However they were always considered inoffensive enough for doctors to keep prescribing in this manner in order to appear to be doing something... am going stop there. It's a 'pet bunny' of mine and it is not fair to inflict upon you after such a simple question - for the answer is plainly "no, don't take pana or para anything!"<br /><br />&*() sorry 'bout the rant...
