Pain can also bring up your blood pressure. It is a vicious circle! Motrin is not Naproxen it is Ibuprofen. Aleve is Naproxen and I've heard of dangerous side effects from this. I am on Lodine. It is an NSAID prescription I got from my dr. It is similar to Voltaren and Ibuprofen and doesn't mess up your stomach as much. It worked quite well for years but now my body has gotten used to it and so we are looking for something else to try. You can't be on these forever or they stop working.
I must have heard it wrong about Motrin but I'm glad to have all the advice and suggestions. I think it benefits everyone. I would had never thought of hot wax. And Watkins...man they've been around for years! I remember my grandmother using it. Not the linament but the other like flavorings and such.
Thats is one reason I love this site, we all are willing to help each other no matter what the issue is. I don't think we could find that anywhere else on the net...or living around us in person.
Kathy, I sooo agree with you about everyone's willingness to help. It's awesome! :)
