HEALTH Getting Old Hurts

Last Sept i was in the ER for Kidney stones, the largest was 3mm. The doc gave me a couple scripts and a script for 400mg Motrin? Then she leans over and asks, "Do you have anything stronger at home?" Yes from Dental visits I told her "Oh good, keep them handy, don't hessitate to use them."
WTF?
So evidently you’re unaware of the opioid epidemic, and the government crackdown on doctors that prescribe them.

Saved, to glorify God.
I didn't know it, but I suppose all of you already know that you are not supposed to take NSAID'S IF you have high blood pressure! I found out accidentally. I took an ALEVE (naproxen) and happened to take my blood pressure about a half hour or so later and MY BP had shot up to 220/110! I was about to stroke out! I got on the internet and found out you don't (shouldn't) take naproxen, ALEVE, ADVIL, MOTRIN, Ibuprofen, Naprosyn Aspirin (although I never noticed aspirin do that to my BP)it is DANGEROUS, if you have High BLOOD PRESSURE!!
Apparantly, the only thing safe to take along with BP MEDS is TYLENOL, (acetaminophen), which absolutely doesn't work at all for anything in me, no pain relief at all. Of course, then you have to worry about Tylenol killing your liver (and you) if you take it too often.

Remember, 50 is the new 70. I had heart surgery when I was 48,
and I was in the coronary recovery unit, with peoples old enough to
be my parents. Talk about a wake up call to being old.
I just turned 64, and there are many many days, were I feel as if I am 84,
an age that I simply will not see.
Of course, being a diabetic, with massive coronary artery disease,
makes it even worse.
As a geezer, I try to make the most of each day, and be thankful that
I was alive to see that morning.
Always get the senior citizens discounts if they are available.
Please be safe everyone.
Regards to all.

No, I'm perfectly aware of crackdown on doc's. But being in the Emerg Dept at a hospital, with a confirming CAT scan for a condition well known to be extremely painful is not the same as some shady pain clinic in the bad part of town.
It is to the feds. Ask Sat and Fruity...

A book written by a Dr or Physical Therapy describing lots of things one can do to minimize the aches and pains of the aging musculo-skeletal system. PDF ebook link... “ AGE*LESS ”

As a DPT trained in joint manipulation, teaching these techniques to DPT students... gotta say amateur attempts at doing manipulations is extremely dangerous. Sure you may get away with it 100x... but there will be those who rip a vertebral artery (Paralyzed) or collapse a bone with osteoporosis or undiagnosed tumor, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention doing it too often to someone risks making that joint unstable.
