Hey Vern
Not only have you had your relief taken away but the other similar
medications are now under fire. I guess if one must choose- one would
choose to have pain and not have a stroke. I have a small bitter place
in me that the things I have done just to make money ( drive nails,
type commands at computers) have limited my ability to enjoy the
fruits of my labor (recreational drumming). I also am interested in
ways that drummers have found some relief. I fear wrist surgery
(arthritis is not my issue yet) and I have found that prescription
strength anti-inflammatories make me sick and sleepy. God knows the
self-medication I did as a young guy didn't help my playing a bit. It
does seem to have prevented glaucoma however.
Any other older guys have any successes with exercises, banned
supplements, voodoo spells, aura healing, or surface application of
beer? We want to know.
