As they used to say in antiquated British cop shows 'They've got him bang to rights'. Reading it won't take away the pain but it will make it easier to bear. I really don't see how the odious show-boating scumbag can possibly wriggle out of this one. And if he goes down others won't be far behind. <br /><br />Stone quotes Wilde 'There is one thing worse that being talked about and that is not being talked about'. He ought to remember how poor Wilde ended up.

Evidently, the frequent testing isn't required as it is for warfarin, but I'm not sure about interactions with NSAIDs, which are also blood-thinners, as I'm sure you know.Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-80996604929980141682019-01-26T13:30:50.081-05:002019-01-26T13:30:50.081-05:00Thanks for the tip.

I'm limited as to painkillers because I'm also taking warfarin--no NSAIDs orally, but topical might be OK.David Palmeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895092366685079046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-64791488741084056722019-01-26T11:27:13.908-05:002019-01-26T11:27:13.908-05:00If Tylenol does the trick, then talk to your docto...If Tylenol does the trick, then talk to your doctor about Voltaren, a topical NSAID.

About two years ago the problems began--scoliosis and arthritis have been diagnosed, and given my age (81 in a couple of days) the likelihood of some stenosis is great. At times there's nothing I can do to stop the pain--standing,sitting, lying down, nothing works. At other times I feel fine, but if I walk a block, I wind up having to stop on somebody's steps and take a break, before heading for home. I pop a lot of Tylenol.David Palmeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895092366685079046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-18805647439249369282019-01-26T11:09:21.506-05:002019-01-26T11:09:21.506-05:00It can be almost completely incapacitating, mak...It can be almost completely incapacitating, making it hard to sit comfortably or to walk or to even to sleep.s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-27289391558510584532019-01-26T11:06:40.080-05:002019-01-26T11:06:40.080-05:00Thank you.
