I take medication for cholesterol and high BP. I also have osteoporosis which is painful mostly in wrists, fingers, ankles and knees. I am at crossroads of what to do about my pain.
I do know if one has high BP they need to take medication or you could end up in dialysis for the rest of your life as a good friend of mine has to. Two times per week and it takes the energy out of her until the next dialysis. Getting old is no fun.
