I tried allieve once and had some hemmoraging so never tried it again but i use ibuprofen a lot. I've had carpel tunnel since late 30's but just started with arthritis a few years ago. It only shows up when i put in a hard day with my hands. Carpel tunnel makes my hands numb so when i drive i have to keep switching to let the other hand recover. After a few days rest it goes away.
they still won't?

I have had horses since 1967 so next year it will be 50 years. I have been Bit, kicked, Bucked off, Jumped out from under, Stepped on, Dragged, Fallen on, and Trampled. The last was my current horse who pulled the vehicle she was hitched to over the top of me. Most of my "exciting" riding happend between age 12 and about 28... I am sixty now.
Baby girl who trampled me and the vehicle She never set a foot on me only knocked me over. I got a life flight trip out of that.
Oh wow!! That's a lot of stuff! I'm sure if I was around horses that long I'd probably eventually have all that happen to me though too maybe but that kind of makes me not want to be near horses again..I have had horses since 1967 so next year it will be 50 years.

I love them though but they can be scary. My falling off incident was the worst that happened. Once or twice Bubba (the one I fell off on) was being a brat and tried to buck but he's like 24 so too old to and so it was just a half assed thing from the back legs more a kick than anything so I didn't fall off. At first I was really scared when he did it but I rode through it and then the next time I did too and held the reins so he couldn't put his head down to buck and he got over it. I had one really bad lesson where he was just being a BRAT the whole entire time. Tried his bucking thing. Stopped on me and wouldn't move. Tried to go where he wanted and as fast or slow as he wanted. Wouldn't lope. Etc. But I rode through it and then he was better the next time. And I forget if this was the same lesson or a different time but there was one time where he was really bad for the first like 10-20 minutes then when he realized I wasn't giving in he started behaving. That might have been one of the lease times not the lessons. He likes to test people but usually he's good. I think on that day I hadn't been in a while or something. Although he genuinely liked me. She even said so, some lesson horses just tolerate people but he really liked me. He would even be really really bad for the people he didn't like lol there was one older lady who wanted to lease and liked him and came in to try him and he did his attempted buck and everything supposedly and of course she would stop when he did it. I think she wasn't steady with the hands or rough or something. He hated her. But she would let him stop when he did it and eventually just left. So I hear. But actually, I think that was the time he tried his bucking with me because that incident was in the morning before my lesson. So naturally he was like "oh well lets see if I can get away with it with her too." Speaking of which, I don't think he even really does it as bucking but more as a bluff, he doesn't want to do what you want and wants to stop. Sometimes he also will go backwards when he's really bad. Never happened to me but ya. He's really not as bad as I'm making him sound though lol he's a really sweet boy and works really hard once you work through it but he definitely makes you work too. At 24 he knows every trick in the book. Whereas Daisy is the energizer bunny and you don't have to tell her anything really. Set the pace and she'll go go go go for hours lol so Bubba was actually good so I wouldn't solely ride in autopilot and go for a ride instead of riding the horse. 2 others I rode are babies at 4 or 5 and 6. Another time I got grazed by Daisy but that was because I got too close when they were either clipping or doing the girth. I think it was the girth. She came from out west I think, not sure but where ever she came from they kneed her in the stomach to do the girth (which supposedly is common? Maybe not?) and also hit her in the head with a 2x4 so sue was really head shy and HATED the girth. She would bite the air really bad. But she wasn't doing it to be mean, it's just a really bad habit. So yeah, I was standing too close and wham lol but it was one tooth and barely broke skin. Nothing likeyour instances. And wow that's awful!! It was that bad!? But at least she's gorgeous right? Haha
