I want there to be a non-prescription anti-inflammatory drug that doesn’t seriously screw up my stomach. One of you med-chem types get on that, will you?<\/p>\n
Background: Last year about this time, I had severe muscle spasms in my neck and shoulder that led to a 2am trip to the emergency room. A combination of muscle relaxers (Flexeril) and ibuprofen dealt with the problem fairly quickly, but I’ve had minor recurrances ever since. Those, too, have generally been fought off with a handful of Advil.<\/p>\n
Advil is, unfortunately, on the list of Things Not to Ingest for my stomach at the moment. Which means that when the muscle spasms started creeping back a couple of weeks ago, there really wasn’t anything I could do about them (other than my usual stretching exercises, and attempting to avoid things that cause problems). Tylenol doesn’t touch them at all, and a heating pad only helps a little.<\/p>\n
Something brought the full-on muscle spasms back yesterday, and the Flexeril alone didn’t do much. Which has left me with a choice between stabbing pains every time I turn my head, or severe heartburn and a vague feeling like I might vomit. I figured that since I was stuck watching Duke for the early part of the afternoon, I was going to feel like vomiting anyway, and took a couple of Advil, but that hasn’t worked out too well… My shoulder is very slightly better, and my stomach is completely awful.<\/p>\n
So, get me my wonder drugs, damn it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
