i don't beleive in ice except for the time of injury. i give ice to my kid when she has an owie. it's a placebo. she usually winds up sucking on it. ice just ins't logical beyond reducing swelling and i'm not swollen. ppfy, did you use ice on your knees? see where it got you?
i'm also not into ibu. too harsh on the liver. i used to be into it, but then i read the research. i only take it in dire situations.
compression, yeah, i bought a new bondage strap. it velcros down so tight that i can make my hand blue. i want one for my whole body, with a zipper for my mouth.
i'm not a big fan of acupuncture. did you read that new study that showed that fake points were almost as effective as real points and that both were far more effective than western med for back pain? gotta love that. haven't gone there yet, but i may soon.
i'm allergic to many topical herbs. did too much when i was young. cf suffers the same problem but from a different chinese bonesetter. there are many of us actually. i keep meeting more.
the night brace, well, like i said, i'm holding out for the one with the zipper for my mouth.
whiskey. yesshhh. in fact, i thimnk i'll pour myselve anither shott...
tell me more about parafin dips. i've seen hot wax drips at the exotic erotic, but i'm guessing this is different.
for strengthening, well, i just spent an hour twirling a kwan do while a monk yelled at me to go faster and more powerfully, again, again, again. does that count?
massage - i am upping the massage schedule. it's one of the benefits of having a top notch massage therapists for a wife.
supportive tape. does that come with zippers?
in all seriousness, i thank thee for the advice. i'm still thinking it's some sort of rsi. i'm also thinking i need to get double checked to make sure it's not spreading arthritis. it feels much different. and i've seen my x-rays. the small spurs on my c4 and c5 are quite visible.
