Thank you for your responses and the condulances. Sheesh, I give up trying to spell. lol it's too hard.
I will need to mull it over a bit. I have refused pain meds so far because I am on so many others for the bipolar disorder. I need to look at the budget before I break down and call the doc. I am sure we all know what that is like. The poor kid at the pharmacy freaks out at my co-pay as it is.
I really like the idea of trying out the Tiger's Balm! Not too pricey and fairly soothing if I recall. Teeny burn, but not like icy hot.
THANKS!!
Good place to start.
