Hey Mark, you ever try Voltaren? It's a cream for arthritis. You must have it in Canada. You guys are pretty liberal with the drugs. It just became available over the counter here in the states. Pretty effective stuff for me and the wife and of course its bad for the organs just like the plls but it doesn't get into the blood stream as much as the pills. Most of it's effectiveness is in the area applied. Hasn't been tested for shoulders and back but sure works good on my feet and my wifes hands.

I have been using Voltaren for a few years now, I even have a prescription strength one that has 10% active ingredient. Funny story how we were first introduced to it, wife and I went to a local cars show about 6 years ago, the organizers were giving out samples of it in their goodies bags.:D

Thanks BP.. I've used the Voltaren Extra Strength but can't say it worked for me or maybe I didn't give it enough time. My Dr suggested it as well. If I lift my arms up more then shoulder height you can hear and see the shoulder crunch and jerking around, yeah it's that bad. Maybe I should get a flex fan...problem solved lol

Bit of a miserable day today. Cold and windy. I did go out for a walk though and I sold my neighbours Honda snowblower for him. Just a single stage but they work really good.

How old are ya Mark? guessing 70 or around there.
My fingers are starting to give me trouble and I'm 64 and not real bad at climbing out from under a car yet but I think real soon gonna have problems.
I don't know what I will do yet but trying to stay off the drugs.
 
I was on Voltaren everyday for the last few years and towards the last few months before my operation felt like someone was sticking a knife in my leg. Well had replacement hip surgery about six months ago, new ball jiont and socket. Have not had any pain at all since the day I woke up from the operation. Told the surgeon he was a good mechanic, no more Voltaren and I will be dancing next and I now don't have any trouble pushing in my clutch on my 410 stroker anymore. The surgeon was so good that I convinced my girlfriend to have a hip replacement and I will pick her up from rehab on tuesday.

I crowding 72 Fred. Birthday is Jan 12 so don't forget to send a gift LOL.
I'd have great difficulty getting out from under a car right now because of the hands and wrists. My good friend is 72 and he's like a monkey getting out from under a car. Glass A mechanic and really knows his stuff. He pretty limber for his age. I used to be like that but nowhere near that anymore. I do admit though when I was on the three pills of Prednisone a day I was really good but not a good thing to stay on. It can rob calcium from your bones, raise your blood pressure, raise your sugar levels, weight gain. My friend is on that and he snapped his Achilles Tendon just coming downstairs. He's on that stuff as an anti-rejection med because of a double lung transplant. Great med but can be nasty as well. I'm almost of it now. Anyway guys...suppertime so have a great evening and play safe

Lost ya on the Voltarien Not sure what that is but I am simple minded.
 
Fred Voltaren is a medication that helps with jiont pain by thinning the blood to the jionts but the chemist is required by law in Aus to tell you that prolonged use can cause stomach bleeding and other nasties but is good for your pain relief in your jionts.

It took 4 months after the fan to lift the arm that high. You could goose the little lady and I bet she would reach quite far to get things for you.
