My suggestions is NO pills - they will only cause more problems in the end. [Advil for women will escalate osteoporosis; and elevate hearing loss] Instead ask for a referral to see a physical therapist/occupational therapist for exercises that can be done on land/water (pool) Don't forget to have them show you the elastic bands. These you take home and use daily. They need to be done on a regular basis because they are you pain pills. They help strengthen you muscles and keep you strong and agile.
Chiropractors are good for only a while and then you need to stop because you bones become brittle and break (osteoporosis). Then the threat of strokes plays in and this no longer is a feasible choice. I had too many and nearly died from an adjustment....my neurologist put an end to them...permanently. I use the bands instead. And my severe osteoporosis from using NSAIDS for too long brought me back to the bands also. I am healing my brittle bones with injections Prolia at the doctors office and hope to reverse the back things I did with all those pills. The one thing I can't reverse is my tinnitus and hearing loss.

@migizii my name is Sue and have lived with a variety of chronic pain conditions for most of my life. Unfortunately, as I get older (64j, the conditions have increased and complications occur from time to time. I find people’s input interesting and helpful to me. I hope all of you can find ways to live life on the “good” days with joy and remember them when challenged by the other ones.

What do you say is the reason for tinnitus, which has just begun for me seriously, and I'm questioning hearing loss too.

Did you get the tinnitus from being on Prolia?
