@woojr I read your post about mixing Volteran with Avexia (I’m not familiar with it) and I wanted to point something out for you. If you’re using Volteran on the numerous spots you noted please be cautious with the amount you use. Volteran is an NSAID medication and we have a limit out livers can tolerate before damage begins. Pharmaceutical info indicates 8 grams or 8,000mg is the maximum dose per day for upper extremity single joint and 16 grams or 16,000mg for lower extremity single joint for osteoarthritis pain. Whether the brand name or generic each box contains a plastic card to assist in dosing correctly that you should use. Good luck and be safe.

Thank you for the information. I can sum up my less than totally scientific methods this way. Since I started using the Avexia (about six weeks ago), I only occasionally use the Voltaren. My urine color has lightened to almost clear. The relief I get from Avexia is much better, it helps both my back and shoulders and neck. I still take Oxycodone but I've replaced it in the evening with a half cube of edibles. I start with a quarter slice then another about and hour later. It seems reduce my discomfort when I'm just sitting around watching TV. Daytime with chores requires the Oxycodone but I've reduced the amount by 10mg a day. I'm getting a second set of shots next week with the hope of getting ablations after this proves the nerves to target. The Doc said he wasn't certain he could reach them all because of the metal in my spine.
Thanks again for your comments.
