This is Ham Radio

[Redbeard U812]

Don't have one. Have Aleve, and Arthritis Strength Tylenol. Both seem to do pretty good. I just have to decide if I prefer internal bleeding or liver damage.

Try a pack of frozen peas. You can refreeze them time and time again......Just don't eat 'em. Sometimes I'll use my tens unit, but eventually I end up placing the pads on my temples. Makes the lights flicker a little but I'm soo exhausted afterward I can go right to sleep.

I'll tell you about a discovery I made while recovering from a bike crash way back when.
If you are trying to get up from bed or easy chair and you hit a catch point, don't torture your self by moving slowly through the pain. Make a fast transition through the pain to get past the hitch point. Yeah it will still hurt but it's over fast and once vertical the pain will lessen. Do not do this with broken bones! And check with your Doctor before attempting.

I just roll out of bed and fall on the floor. Crawl around the rest of the day.

Had to sleep in recliner last night. Rolled out of bed and crawled to get there. Bed was full of knives. No matter which way I moved, one stuck me in the back.
Days aren't too bad. Nights are murder.

Pain is this way: can’t sleep or have no appetite? (Literally). Then it’s past time to seek help.

How are you with ibuprofen? If ok, keep it to about 800mg a dose max. No more than 2500mg a day. Maybe look into a Bemer electronic treatment. Those have helped my boss & boss' kid a lot.
Definitely hope you heal quickly Riverman.

Been nearly two weeks now and am much better. Hot whirpool baths, heating pad, alternatingTylenol and Advil and sleeping in recliner. Almost back to normal. Appears I dodged serious injury. Lucky me.

Very good to hear! You've done better than I have. I learned last June that I don't bounce, I now break.
