No prob...Oxaprozin. 1200mg once a day. I notice slight improvement
already.
I'm hoping I can get back to working on the scoot before the year is
out. I also want to be able to fish more often. I am just glad it is
degenerative arthritis not osteo. Knuckle replacement is a viable
option as the worst ones are my thumb base knuckles. Makes gripping
tools a little painful.
Backs are a whole different ball game. I have compressed disks and
have to be careful about how I lift objects. If it goes out a few
percecets(sp) at night and i'm usually good to go again.
So far, riding does not bother the hands very much. I guess I'm just
lucky that way.
Take care of the back and have a libation on me...Oh Shirley, one for
Snag please.
