Have had chronic pain, feet are a mess & my job/profession keeps me standing 8 hrs/day, hip, back,neck & hand pain as well. I'm 57, had taken NSAIDS...mostly motrin, for several years, but due to high doses of Motrin (2400mg day) I now have Stage 3 kidney disease which is irreversable. My current drug that has been prescribed is Tyl #3 which I take sparingly...1- 3 tabs a day. MY doc is on me about habit forming etc, but what are my options? Physical therapy is not available to me, though I doo get a massage whenever possible, but can't let them touch my feet or I'm in pain for days afterward.... I hurt. In order to do my job, I need to be able to stand, use my hands etc. Any thoughts? It's depressing.
thanks, jj
