On a serious note; eat whole ginger root. Reduces swelling and helps with pain.....

You don't need to go to the ER, there are walk in clinics everywhere.

BTW when I broke my shoulder a few years ago aleve was the only thing that helped. I took 2 in the morning, then 1 about dinner time and it really made a difference.

They gave me Percocet for my back, I gave 'em back because they messed with me and kept me awake. Read later on in the paper that those things can sell for as much as $70 each on the street! Blew my mind, the damn things didn't do anything for me, certainly not $70 worth for one of 'em.

So, obviously, the reason you can't buy painkillers worth a shit OTC is because the lines of junkies and dopers would be out the door.

Because the government knows what is right.

As a hold-over from years of military medicine, I take Ibuprofen like some people eat M&Ms. If it can't be fixed by Vitamin M, I prefer to suffer.

On a tangentially related note, I had the onset of a cold last night, with congestion, draining in the back of the throat, and pressure in the ears. I took some Mucinex for the first time, and it is truly awesome. I woke up feeling great and able to breath. On the other hand, I have a taste in my mouth that can only be described as though a dog ate it's own vomit and then defecated in my mouth. I suppose I'll take the trade-off, though.

First time I took mucinex, I woke up the next day and asked her when we got a cat.

What cat?, she asked.

The one that pooped in my mouth.

Tramadol is good. My friend buys them online for her dog. After four days you will go through withdrawls without them. I found out becasuse I had some prescribed for a toothache.

Aleve, aka Naproxen help my back and shoulder when ibuprofen won't put a dent in the pain. Save some money though and buy it at Dollar Tree.
