TNT: Nothing to See Here
There's no way I could bend over a project knitting, stitching or otherwise so I've got nothing to show off this week. I did make a trip across town with The Mister to pick up an online order of groceries yesterday and make a brief run into PetSmart to get Pup's food. It was too much, too soon and I paid the price for it yesterday afternoon.
I have added these to my collection of back pain remedies. I should mention that this particular episode isn't worse than the others, it's just the first time I've ever had to go without an anti-inflammatory. I can't take Motrin or any NSAID with another medication the doctor put me on in January. I swore I wouldn't go down the interaction rabbit hole I saw my parent's go down as they aged but here we are. To say I'm furious with this old body after living my life in a way not to get to this point is an understatement. If I'd have known, I would have enjoyed myself more.
So sorry your back is bothering you (still). I've been using a magnesium foam on my shoulders and knees and that is helping.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you can't take NSAIDs! I was on Eliquis for a while after a pulmonary embolism and couldn't take NSAIDs. Acetaminophen was a poor choice for a headache as it did nothing for me. I'm thankful I can take NSAIDs now, especially because my orthopedic doc has me on 600 mg/day. Here's hoping your new freezy stuff helps!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read this. My DH has back pain 24/7 - some days are better, too many days are worse. Aging is not for the faint of heart. Hope you get some relief soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! No suggestions other than acupuncture!
ReplyDeleteI hope the new remedies offer some relief.
ReplyDeleteI second acupuncture. It did give me a little relief, especially for my feet. I'm praying for you my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

That's tough to have persistent back/neck pain!
