I have been in pretty pain-free shape for a few years and have just flared up big stylie since Nov last year. Previous flare-up have been eliminated with LSD and exercise. This time around I am struggling to improve at all.
This last three weeks have thrown everything at it
- No Starch (gone that extra mile and cut out beer)
- Using a TSE/TENS electronic pain relief device
- Actually doing my daily mobility exercises !
- 4*week exercise
- Weekly massage, since back muscles have been going into spasm
To relieve pain, I have been taking 400mg Ibuprofen 4*daily. Still having a bad time so went to docs today who has upped to 600mg and added paracetamol with codeine.
Looking at some recent posts about NSAIDS - this could be counter productive. Is this correct ?
Finally, I asked the Doc for antibiotics to kill the Klebsiella, so was prescribed cofalexin. Anyone experience of this ?
DragonSlayer - you look like you know your onions ! Any feedback appreciated, particularly a duffers guide to NSD and effect of NSAID - I am not familiar with this latest thinking. And much more science about the gut (lesions ?)
Bilko - you may remember me from the NASS forum. Looks like all that went under and as-assist is not nearly as active so I have migrated here ! Hope all is well with you.
Cheers, Finchie
