Drugs

Feng warned me I'd have good weeks and bad weeks. Last week was a bad week. At my therapy I was feeling good, so we pushed the rotator cuff for the first time. A bit too hard, I think, and then a couple of days later I photographed the body building championships and carrying the heavy lens for a few hours probably didn't help.

Normally I dislike taking drugs. I have to hurt quite a bit to take pain killers, so the fact that I've chewed my way through a jumbo pack of Neurofin plus is a bad sign.  Then last week my father in law gave me a script for some serious anti inflammatory drugs.  I'm now taking Naproxen 500mg twice a day, and after three days, the signs are good.

It doesn't increase your range of movement, but controlling inflamation and therefore pain is a very good thing.  I think this drug is an example of what the call a NSAID.
