No Advil.
I am an Advil junkie. I take the maximum allowed everyday; morning, noon and night. By doing that I keep my arthritic foot happy and relatively unswollen and my knees creaky but not too painful. Day 2 of no Advil and my head aches, my neck is stiff , my foot is ok, my knees are killing me. I feel like I have the flu or I was beaten with a stick.
I did take a some "natural anti-inflammatories" from the health food store - nuthin'.
I am sooo looking forward to the drugs following the surgery and I still have 4 days to go. Boo hoo.
Before I had knee surgery last year, I had taken so much Advil that my stomach was irritated and painful. My doctor prescribed an anti-inflammatory cream for my knee and it worked! My stomach was able to heal while I dealt with the knee pain.
