That's still an anti-inflammatory drug in the same class as Ibuprofen so I'd be reluctant to use it but, as you say, probably OK for short term relief. Currently I've been prescribed Tramadol hydrochloride for quick relief and it works well - but, again, not something that can be constantly used. > though I use it for my knees these days... what about Thermacare pads? I hadn't known about those but I have a heat pack that works well (heat in microwave). I'll check Thermacare out - looks promising. I didn't really mean to hijack Christine's thread like this but there's been some good advice - so, thanks all!!
