why would NY re-elect Deblasio?

osteoarthritis of the knee joint - most days it's managable. the other day I was out and about and I could not lift my right knee into
the car..I mean I could not get into the drivers seat. I had to use my arm to lift my leg,and after a couple attempts I got in. ( my god that hurt)

the standard medication is steroid shots. but cortisone has a lot of really bad side effects.
I also have slightly high pressure in my eyes. I am also very nearsighted.

I went for my annual eye exam and my opthamologist noticed my pressure was alarmingly high.
He asked my if I was taking any steroids...bingo that was the connection.

The really bad part of this is the doc. who prescribed the shots completely downplayed the cortisone shot
as "not systemic -it goes to the knee" ( unlike oral tabs)

Stupid Me just went along with it! I should have protested that cortisone/steroid .

BECAUSE OF THE WAR ON PAIN MANAGEMENT -doctors will prescribe crap like that, instead of ultra safe narcotics.

The CDC started this when they moved hydrocodone from a Schedule 4 to a Schedule 2 ( same as oxycodone).
I am on codeine 3 instead which knocks me out ( sedation). I can't even use it most days for pain relief.
Buti'm luck to get even that, as now they want to stop opiate uses for chronic pain!

Sorry, old age isn’t for the weak.

TENS yes.. I even sell a home system seen on TV.
my osteoarthritis is moderate to severe ( i forget the number)..it really doesn't help, and the little bit it does is too fleeting to be of value

That’s unfortunate.
 
Do some Googling for Harborview Hospital in Seattle Pain control and University of Washington pain clinic work with a video game called either snow globe or snow world it causes the brain to produce endorphins which act as an opioid

Do your doctors prescribe you shots of Stoli to deal with the pain?
