Do you get full relief from NSAID?


Thanks for the comment on Tumeric. Good to know. NSAIDS? I took high doeses of them for 20+ years. And do help, but not as I'd like. The past year I had to mostly give them up due to GI trac errosions and gastritis. So, right now I take them very sparingly as well I sparingly take tramadol and vicadin for pain. Mostly I simply have a very high pain tollerence and willpower.
