    Default Painkiller suggestions?

    Symptoms: Joint and muscle pain, especially in the back, hips, shoulders and hands. I'm not thrilled about the idea of using an Rx on an on-going basis, but will consider this 'cause the aches are starting to interfere with my profession. (I'm not a dancer; my job is sitting at a computer and writing all day long. But in the past I've learned some very useful things about pain relief from the SW "Body Business" experts.) Thanks in advance.

    Firstly Id talk to your boss about getting your desk fitted with proper ergonomics for you. Incorrect posture all day at work can cause major problems and you could end up on workers comp if you get carpel tunnel or something. I like to use an anti-inflammatory gel on sore joints occasionally if they are really sore. Here its called voltaren but I dont know what its called there. I use the gel because the tablets are really harsh on your stomach although I dont know if gel penetration through the dermis causes any other problems (I dont really use it that often - few times a year). Any anti-inflammatory would help but again they are harsh. Have you thought about chiro or what your work out regimen is? I have found pilates has totally changed my posture and taken away a lot of my back pain. Also youtube back stretches and stretch your back for min 15 every night.
