been on anti inflamatories for a while , initially mobiac for knee (had a clean out 18 months ago but got infected and would absolutely kill me. would take 5 minutes to be able to walk normally after driving for a few hours even then still in pain ) consulted specialist whose only other solution was a replacement knee !!!! . the drugs worked . Then got kicked on the wrist by a cow and ended up with washer womens strain (damaged sheath of the tendon controlling the thumb) and was put on naprosyn plus strapping the thumb to the hand for a month ) when finished (30 days ) continued on with Mobiac until finished that so 60 days all up . Been off drugs for a week and am starting to get aches out of the knee again (there was absolutely no pain whilst on the drugs . Apart from any other possible side effects they had a very definite clogging of the bowels effect almost to the point of considering laxatives. I would greatly prefer not to take them but they certainly do what they claim but the side effects are what worry me have to wait and see if i fill the repeats , or the script for a lower dosage script .s Some pain is a good message that you have and are still abusing yourself but with parents age 91 and 93 I reckon I have still got a long time to go
