I may settle for some Sangria that I have in the fridge. Is your Voltaren the gel or tablets? The get is gentler on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used Voltaren before. Just wanted something to tide me over 'till I see the doc tomorrow. I usually take Panamax. One box would last me a year.

My husband uses it on his arthritic knees. I have used it on occasions, and it really works instantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a long consult as she is a new GP to the practice I go to. My previous GP quit last year, possibly burn out. She's now working at Newcastle Uni.

I went on Google and printed out the human body drawings used for autopsies and have marked on it all the places where I have aches and pains so's I can remember them all.😨 Did you have pain when you touched all those spots? Perhaps you have a broken finger 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the Voltaren tablets yesterday and the pain is gone today. Yippee, I can walk instead of hobble. Have been to my new doc this morning, she is young and very nice. Came away with a script for a course of Mobic which will, hopefully, settle my bursitis. I can now go back to painting the house and replacing some dry-rotted weather boards - if it doesn't rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you consider buying a tube of the gel. Best of luck with your work on your house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted November 22, 2023 Author #7412 Share Posted November 22, 2023 So I walked into our local pharmacy to pick up a prescription. I went down the "cookie" aisle. Of course the Tim Tam biscuits were on sale. I have seen them posted on these threads from time to time, so I bought 2 different varieties. Well I'm not sure if that was a good purchase, I can see how they could be habit forming. For now we will keep them as a treat and hope they don't become a problem.😇 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We opened the chewy caramel variety and we both quite liked them. We will continue to buy them as treats from time to time, especially when they're on sale.

Blackduck59 Posted November 22, 2023 Author #7416 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Thank you Mic. I haven't done the TimTam slam yet. I will try it sometime, I'm guessing the caramel ones won't work that well. Lynn is skeptical. I think the hot beverage could be Hot Chocolate with Bailey's or Amaretto. Why does it feel like you are leading me astray? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be addictive, btw, it needs to be done just slow enough to get the fluid into the biscuit, but fast enough so it doesn't drop into you drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to have an experienced coach. I will report on how many attempts it takes before we get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
