1. I see what you did there!!!!!!

However, I did not recognize the name of what-ever-the-hell it is that you took.

But, I'm going to get to the bottom of all of this.

I've been keeping a list of ALL of the ads that I see telling me to 'ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT XXXXX.'

I'm going to do just that. I'm thinking my next visit is going to be extended into at least 2 other patients' time slot......

3. Modern Medicine is probably keeping me alive.

Thanks blood thinners, hi BP meds! But I leave the social medications exclusively with myself. Who knows better than me what me and me alone should consume to maintain an optimum social intoxication? I've been doing this for over 50 years.

4. HAPPY for 'ya!!!!

And here's to another great 50!!!!!

Backatcha.

8. I was prescribed in 2019 for a 2018 dislocated shoulder. RX from March 2019

and I had 2 remaining. I was still taking them. They were effective. Doc said no don't. Just prescribed more. I get real hurting after physical activity that I really should not be doing. I almost jerked my arm into dislocate condition a number of times. I honestly hold off ingesting these unless really necessary. Notice the other ones still around after almost 3 years. 😎

14. Funny you should mention this.....In the last 6 months, I have noticeable changes in my arms -

particularly, the full joint movement. I can lug 40-50 lbs of split logs up the stairs, twice a day, no problems. But total rotation on the arms is starting to degrade. Is that a function of the medicine? I wonder. I ain't no spring chicken, at this point in my life, but I do wonder why.

[sprinkleeninow]

16. Total rotation gets diminished. It hurts. Plus, I do believe some arthritis.

My left affected shoulder def is arthritic. If I pull arm towards back, it catches and then I have to carefully click it back. Not dislocated but sounds like arthritis. I chose nor to see orthopedic surgeon fie follow up. Initially I could only raise my about a foot high from its resting on my side. Now of course, over my head, but not as before injury. I need to be extra careful with movements. Was told I could re-discocate it.
It could've been worse-- 'broken'. I thot it was after hitting th

[sprinkleeninow]

17. .... after hitting the floor. I had visions of my life going down the tubes for a long duration.

Never had such extreme pain b4.

[sprinkleeninow]

18. I didn't reply to your query re: 'a function of the medicine'.

Can you elaborate on that?

[OAITW r.2.0]

19. Well, I am 68. Been taking prescribed meds for 5 years.

Both arm joints are rapidly becoming limited in certail orientations. Weird.

[sprinkleeninow]

20. Have you consulted health provider for answers?

Your body. Only one of its kind. 😍

Altho', the Tramadol I took way earlier is still affording me a relaxed feeling, but my knees are locking when I get up from my chair here. And hurting. This nonsense just presented itself like only last week. Sheesh...

[sprinkleeninow]

13. Some of the names of this stuff on TV. Sheesh.

Rexafilalumabab.
I just made that up.😝
Bib-bab-bub endings. Blabetty-blab...

10. I sent neighbor floral arrangement. She texts me last nite msg. and heart emojis:

"Go out your front door but look first b4 you step. We left something!"

I texted back: "Izzit big and moushy, like a plush Sesame Street character?" 😆

It was a honkin' heart box of Godiva chocolates. 😋

Her husband (always helping me with stuff) is hard core industrial strength refuser of anything I try to give him. He once gave back a gift card and stuck it in my storm door! SHE does accept gifts from me, but see, still has the need to reciprocate. 😄

9. I can't even tell when I take Tramadol. Just doesn't affect me.

[smirkymonkey]

15. Didn't do anything for me either except make me feel nauseated.

It was prescribed for me after I had surgery for a broken proximal humerous (broken in half - clean through) once I found out I was horribly allergic to opiates (specifically Oxycontin - hives, projectile vomiting).

I didn't like it so I just went back to Tylenol but mostly ice packs were the only thing that really relieved the pain. Most pain relief drugs don't seem to have much of an effect on me, except for the negative side effects.

[blueinredohio]

21. Me either.

11. My experience with prescribed opiates

22. I spit out my coffee!

That's brilliant!

[Chainfire]

23. I called it "Damn-it-all"

I does nothing for pain, you just don't care.

I remember back in the 80s after some dental surgery, I was given Demerol for pain, a lot of Demerol. At one point, I had been vegging out on the couch watching TV for a couple of hours and my wife came in the room and turned it on. I suffered through the pain and carefully managed my stash for recreational purposes.

24. Must be another happy pill?

I'll stick to my weed.
