CoolWell, here it is a glorious spring morning and guess what?  Here I am with a flare up in my knees and hips and ankles,AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!  I was diagnosed ten years hence with Osteoarthritis and went on Celebrex, when that didn't seem to do the trick I was put on Voltaren and guess what?  It made me GI bleed, so I got fed up and went on Aleve and/or Advil and it works...moderately, I am never pain free and there are days I do wonder what I am trying to do, but I have a farm and it needs to be tended to on a daily basis, so high pain or moderate pain or even low pain, I'm out there doing what needs to be done.  Bottom line is I refuse to give up and just stop and freeze up like the tin man.  CoolOh,just for the record, the VA refuses to help with this, they say it's not service connected,...uh...excuse me, but jumping out of perfectly good airplanes and helicopters while people shoot at you does affect you lower torso...ahhh...whadda they know...they're only a bunch of fuzzy heads..LOL! LOL!  LOL!  LOL!  Have a GREAT and GLORIOUS DAY!
