Pain meds....

I can relate to all here a bit.
2 lower back operations removing about 1/3 of 2 discs.
Wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy.
Things are somewhat better comparative speaking.
RA in hands and joints. Work on car for an hour next day
Swollen joints can't make a fist for hours.
Anyhow, can't take real pain Meds cause found out only have
1 functioning kidney,(from birth) from MRI with back.
I'm forced to deal with the pain other than aleve and alcohol
Prescriptions to lessen pain and help me sleep.

It does suck getting old, but I keep telling myself things could be worse...........and one day they probably will be.
