anything is got to be better then the pain pills, i have been taking them for the last 6-7 years. i'm trying to stop taking them and i'm down to one a day, i break one in half and take it in the morning then the other half about 2:00 pm so i guess i take two #5 tabs a day, and hope to be off of them by christmas. i tried the cold turkey trick once, thought i had the flu, so i'll wing myself this time.

Ya need to be careful with the pills. Been there done that.
Narcotics are not your friend.

I'm going to try the absorbine horse linament on my good bad knee.
I've got a good bad knee that just hurts and a bad bad knee that hurts
Like H**L and has to be replaced.

Didn't know it was going to be so painful to get old did you?

since i have backed off the pain meds i haven't hurt as bad, maybe it was letting me do to many dumb things. the last few nights i haven't had a pillow between my knees either. like i said i'm down to one a day and monday it will half a day, this way i don't go through withdraws. withdraws suck, been there done that.

I think your body builds a tolerance to them....

don't work so good after a while....need something stronger and then stronger...nope...not for me either....
Ok here is the stuff I'm using..... I can pm you the ingredients..nothing bad for humans....at least that I can see..and this crap is working good for me...heck if it can work for horses...it'll work for these old legs...

Bite the bullet and go get it done. I had both of my knees replaced at the same time. It was a little over 5 years ago and I wish I would have had it done 5 years sooner. I was back driving in 3 weeks and back in the shop working about 5 weeks. Not full time, but piddling and out of the house. Back to work and completely pain and pill free in 8 weeks. I was off the powerful pills in 3 weeks and just taking Tylenol.

Git er done. I don't know your age or what insurance you got, but my doc says when Obamacare starts the first of 2013 a lot of things are going to change.

hey ron good to hear from you. i going to try to push it off for awhile as the swelling has gone down and it's not hurting as bad. obummercare is another story and we the people in alabama voted not to have it. we will see where it goes from here.
