I like how you think, @llynch17056. Everything seems to cause something else, and we are all so different in unexpected ways. I assume you find Yoga Balm with CBD safe since you are opting to take it currently. What have you learned about this add to your therapy?

My PCP told me to add ibuprofen a few years ago when I hit the worst of my health crisis. Now I read it is not necessarily good to add when you already take baby aspirin. Of course, the disclaimer “unless told by your doctor”. There is so, so much I do not understand. The caution I see and follow now is, “ Tell your care team if the pain lasts more than 10 days, if it gets worse, or if there is a new or different kind of pain. ”

Wonderful you can manage your back pain from injections with an NSAID like Doan’s, @missey. Has your pain been pretty consistent, shot to shot? Have you had a chance to discuss Doan’s with your doctor prescribing your Repatha?
