Annie...Is Voltaren safe for me to use? I need something to get me through the next 2 weeks (for shoulder) , and I have been using ice and a Ben Gay type rub that helps, but thought I might try the Voltaren.

My dr. use to prescribe a rx version with narcotics in it that was really good stuff...Maybe I should just ask for another rx for that stuff....but it was mail order.

Can you take a bit of a break for a while?

Ask him for a refill and tell him why. You can use the cream depending on how many other NSAIDs you are taking by mouth. So the answer is it depends.

I am trying to not do too much, but it's tough because I'm trying to sell 3 houses, plus deal with the stuff around my own house. And trying to get contractors for small jobs is like pulling teeth!!

Plus I know the steroid is only masking the pain anyways, so I do need to see a doctor again and get it replaced.

I did see a great sports ortho surgeon who did my other shoulder torn rotator cuff, but He seemed like he couldn't get out of the room fast enough after telling me I needed a replacement...So I don't even know if he does replacements. Gotta get busy and find another dr !

^^^ that's the correct answer.

Honestly this didn't help. It was killing me and I still couldn't sleep when doing next to nothing. But right, I can't over do it, I know...Believe me, it won't let me.

I'm wondering if a doctor couldn't just go in and shave/reshape the bone, and smooth it off, to reduce inflammation, instead of replacing it. They did that to my other shoulder when they repaired the cuff.

Have you tried a TENS unit yet?

Sucks, can your buddy that you're helping sell his home pick up some of the slack for you? Maybe your house can wait a little longer.

Sorry you're in so much pain :(

It's not too bad, more expensive than a fancy burger but reasonable. Our standard lunch fare will be around $40-50 plus tip (beer not included).
As an old guy I have simple wants, I spend my money on food, scotch and tools( and toys for my dog)

Pic of the dog?

I'm picking up wow sushi for dinner tonight. I have a coupon for 20 pieces of sushi and 20 pieces of sashimi for $35... I'm gonna need stretchy pants.

No, but good idea and thanks for the reminder. I was actually looking for mine the other day and couldn't find it, but I just located it!! I'll be using it tonight.

I just picked up a tube of Aspercreme with 4% lidocaine...and a bottle of Centrum Silver. I have not been eating all that healthy lately!

Thank you!! Kevin is helping, but he has no skills as far as repairs go. He's not much of a physical laborer really, but he tries !!


But yeah, I am just going to have to find help and pay them dearly. I was going to help with the roof, but I'll pass on that if at all possible.

You don't realize how much you use your shoulder til it hurts!! And unlike my back or hips that stop hurting when I sit, the shoulder hurts all the time, and wakes me up. There's my wine, now for some cheese :lol:
