Meg, you do know that large doses of Ibuprofen can be hard on your heart muscle, don't you? And Tylenol can be hard on your liver and kidneys.

@penny1960 has had a lot of relief using the lidocaine pain relief rubs that you can get OTC. Have you tried them?

I didn't know about the heart, been worried about the stomach and liver. Haven't tried lidocaine, either. Had a thought about CBD oil, that's what Ma took with the chemo, any thoughts?

I haven't used it but we have a friend who uses it and swears by it.

The main reason I haven't tried it is because of the cost of the really good quality CBD.

I'm learning that hydrotherapy can work on a lot of things. I'm determined to learn more about it. Please let me know if it helps at all, and good luck! Chronic pain is no fun!

Thanks, lady

My biggest problem is I don't have insurance. Anything right now will be big cost.

Lidocaine is not real costly either I buy the one is aspercream

CBD is hit and miss. It doesn't help everyone for everything. Lidocaine would be your better choice, much more reliable.

Good morning Coffee Club.
I've made another pot to go along with IM's in case anyone is up and desperate.
Gray and misty here. Looks like rain.
