[QUOTE="witzend, post: 167544, member: 99"] NSAIDS are so hard on the stomach and kidneys. I would be reluctant to take them too much. Linda is right. One of the hardest things is to realize that when you drop your keys or whatever, ask someone to pick them up for you. I often ask strangers on the street to give me a hand going up a step if there isn't a handrail and I haven't got my cane. I just say "Can I grab your hand to help me up/down this step?" They never say no. I hope it's not too late to advise you to talk to your GP about treating symptoms and helping with ADLs. Get those grab bars and make sure all of your railings are strong. There's no reason to haul yourself up the steps if you can guide yourself with a rail. [/QUOTE]
