I had a bit of a bad one a few months back hanging some stable doors on my own . I mange to get them all on but something went again and couldn't raise my arm above my waist .

Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Up untill just over a year ago, I had not had a full nights sleep for over 25 years with arthritc pain in my neck and shoulders. Then my GP put me on Naproxen a nsaid, since then my life has been transformed. The pain has almost gone and it allows me to raise my arms higher than I have been able to for 25 years. Not everyone can take them as there are side effects, but if you can take them they are worth the world, to be able to do everyday things again like changing a light bulb or even just reaching for the top shelf of the cuboard.

One of the side effects is constipation and that has helped my IBS. FFS when I start making an invetory of the things going wrong I might as well shoot myself.
