Nsaids
Oral use of nsaids seems to give me great GI distress. Cox inhibitor had same effect. Injex of Toradol of late have been awesome for cervical discomfort and abated lumbar spasms almost instantly. Maybe placebo effect...nah.
I cannot imagine not taking Neurontin or Methadone at this point as the last few days w/damp rainy weather (or beginning of the week) had my knees and back aching so much I could hardly be out and about. Knees were both killing me at nighttime re aching.
Have a script for Arthotec but it's so expensive I decided to just hang on to it as I'm not sure it will work well enough for me.
Re long term nsaid use if one can tolerate them and take them correctly and they help then go for it. I took them back in the early 80's and 90's and didn't take them w/meals ~ had GI probs back then just not diagnosed as I didn't want one more thing on insurance while working.
There are times I wish I could pop an Aleve!
