@sicc574 I saw him in 1994 because the opening act was Pop Will Eat Itself. The Jim Rose Circus also opened and while good all but one act was a variation of stuff I had seen before.
@chienfou@Kyeh AFAIK, my cardiologist frowns upon all the NSAIDs, but i tend to try to avoid taking anything unless REALLY necessary, anyway, and even then, i try for a minimal amount. I figure i take enough meds as it is for all my chronic ailments! Thankfully, i usually have a pretty high pain tolerance, so that helps. I barely took any of the PRN narcotic meds after my ORIF surgery, mostly just stuck with Flexaril for muscle spasms & good ol’ Tylenol.
@chienfou@ircon96@Kyeh Oh man, after my surgery to repair my shattered foot, I don’t think I could have survived without my Vicodin. This was back in the early 90’s, when the WOD was in full force and they would not give me more than 2 days’ worth at a time. And my doctor’s office didn’t call in refills until the end of their day. So I remember many days watching the clock approach 5PM, sweating by the phone waiting for the pickup call from the pharmacy, wondering if I would have to endure the night without meds. Not a pleasant time.
Usually I do nothing (not necessarily a good thing!). I rarely use a massage device or mild heat (too much, especially if you lay on it, can cause burns or permanent skin darkening). I rarely use acetaminophen.
@ETFrisco@zinimusprime I bought one of those too. I was surprised how effective it is for blocking lower back pain (albeit, temporarily). I paid $12 (plus S&H).
Margaritas!!
/giphy margaritas
@yakkoTDI I wonder if you could use the brushes on today’s offering to stir your margarita. That would give you a reason to buy.
or whiskey
or gin
or rum
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
@eeterrific I got to see Mr. R. perform this in concert. The visuals that went along with it were great.
@eeterrific @yakkoTDI Were those visuals the same as what is in the official NIN video of the song?

But I do prefer the Johnny Cash version, myself.
@eeterrific On Oct 25, 1995 I saw NIN on tour with David Bowie and a band I’d never heard or heard of before called “Prick”, who were amazing.
@eeterrific @phendrick The visuals were similar.

@eeterrific @phendrick @yakkoTDI
Absolutely! He sings it like he lived it…
@chienfou @eeterrific @phendrick @yakkoTDI He did!

Ibuprofen
@Kyeh I miss that stuff! It doesn’t get along with my other meds & the heart muscle wins, unfortunately. Now I’m stuck with acetaminophen.
@ircon96 Oh - yes, I know a lot of people who are in the same boat. Acetaminophen isn’t nearly as effective.
@ircon96 @Kyeh
can you do Naproxen?

Stop moving them
Remind them that someday they could be replaced with synthetic biological analogs that will work twice as hard without complaining.
I’ve been more of a heat guy myself
Pills
Advil (AKA Ibuprofen) is the right answer.
@hchavers I should invest in the parent company of the manufacturer for Advil. I would make a killing off of my own money.
Sleep
@Ziggie What’s this “sleep” of which you speak?
@ircon96 it’s this new thing that’s supposed to substitute for caffeine. I’m not a fan yet.
I don’t. The a-holes have a mind of their own.
@FightingMongoos Yep. This. Plus bourbon!
I’m short so it’s just not a thing.
@brennyn What. Short on muscles?
Ibuprofen

I use a TENS I bought on Meh. It works pretty good.
@ETFrisco How much was it?
@ETFrisco @zinimusprime I bought one of those too. I was surprised how effective it is for blocking lower back pain (albeit, temporarily). I paid $12 (plus S&H).
@ETFrisco I do the same thing. Works like a charm.
a long hot shower…
Opiates
I do all of the above.
Suffer in silence and continue about my life.
And sometimes take an epsom salt bath.
