Hello, have not posted on here for sometime. Has anyone been taking Naproxen long Term? I’ve been taking Naproxen 500mgs twice a day for back pain (Uncorrected scoliosis & spinal stenosis) for about 6 years, I take Omeprazole with it. I know it is usually only prescribed to get over a hump or flare up, somehow I have it on…
Hi all, It’s been a while — just muddling along trying to stay fit and not let Arthur beat me or wear me down. For the past month or so I’ve started noticing an occasional click/crack in my neck when I either turn my head or look up — it’s happening around ten times a day, more or less. Sometimes it’s that loud that even…
Hi, I'm due to see a surgeon in the new year, the proposal being to carry out a trapeziectomy to both my right and left hand.

That got your attention, didn't it :lol: I've never had a problem with it, until now. But then I've always steered a course as far away from pain killers as possible. Currently, briefly I hope, it's not possible. But, because I hate taking any meds I don't strictly need (as one glance in my 'meds drawer' wouldn't tell you…

Hey all I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding swelling. My knee isn't currently painful but very swollen and it feels funny, especially walking upstairs, like its floating. In turn it's making me feel a bit funny! I commute so am out at work over 12 hours a day and need a practical way to remedy this. My first choice…
I am guessing that I am going to struggle with bathroom cleanliness & have been looking for what is available. And after much measuring & reading have ordered a replacement toilet seat that doubles as a butt washer! Warm water spray along with a blow dry function should help me manage as my next operation due is to fuse my…
Hello, i’m New to this forum but was after some advice or someone with the same experience. Having been on and off sulphasalzine for the last 8 years I am now also on methotrexate, having started in Sept. I know the side effects include bruising but I wondered what happens when you let your nurse/doctor know it’s…
