Pain Management

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

Yep, blood work every three months. Next week VA is going to get me in for Ultra Sound, CT scan and another cystoscopy which I will have at three month intervals for the rest of my life above the sod. I never look forward to the cystoscopy although they are pretty painless with the stuff they inject in the ole peter. All three of these tests within a three hour window. Worst part is waiting for the results of these tests. Hey, stay healthy Jeff.

Good to know, keep at it. You stay healthy too, my friend.

So just for my edumacation: acetaminophen is preferred for extra-ordinary pain not related to hangovers, but for bumps & bruises encountered during ordinary landscaping or garage work where many beers are involved it is better to choose ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are antipyretic (fever), analgesic (pain), and anti-inflammatory. These are mostly kidney drugs.
Acetaminophen isn't anti-inflammatory, but is the other two. Also has less side effects, IMO. This is a liver drug.
Hopefully let that be your guide.
