Re: [DIY] At Last It Is Here!

That's true, and when the pain gets too bad, I know it's time for a break, otherwise I would just over do it and really pay for it later! lol I'm afraid I will have to have both hips replaced myself, but I'll wait until I can't stand it any more then maybe I'll have them replaced! They want to do surgery on my neck too, but no thanks! I can deal with that especially since they can't guarantee it will help! The surgeons can find some other way to pay for their house in the Hamptons or their yacht or whatever! I'm not going until I have to!!!

There is a reason for pain and when it is removed or masked it can lead a person to do more than they should and do more damage than they otherwise would have. I have knees and hips that probably should be replaced, but all I ever do is take Tylenol or Advil before going to be so that I can sleep. I don't have the luxury of time to be laid up for several months, my wife had to have double knee replacement several years ago but she was much younger and her knees were about to collapse so it was either that or a wheel chair.

No amount of Aleve can take the pain away.
