My neck is really hurting today. I’ve had all the ibuprofen I can take, but it’s not helping. I think it’s caused by Tom’s existence!

An old friend was discussing dosage with a drug rep for NSAIDs. He said that you pop them in small increments until you have a serum level that would address the problem. That sounds rather iffy. Do you think a muscle relaxant would help?

Sorry about your neck and that I don't live closer (AND that I tend to obey rules about not sharing Class II and Class III narcotics. If it weren't for the rules about keeping them in the original container, I'd set out a candy dish near the comfy chair and fill it as if they were M&Ms.)

I'd add in the prescription strength Naproxen.

We could sit around and chat relatively pain free; not that we would remember much about it tomorrow.

I’m going to get the heating pad and wet a washcloth and lie down with my neck on it. My problem may be just a pinched nerve from the arthritis in my neck. I will let you know later if it eases anything. And I’ll say a little prayer for you neck, too!

*hug*
