Hi Tim,
sounds like you've got it pretty rough.
My tos is on my left side, involving my leg as well as my arm, and
hand. My face and neck have a lot of pain, too. I got off pain
killers almost 3 years ago. My addiction was pretty advanced, and
this caused more pain. any way, the only thing I take is ibuprofen,
and then on a full stomach.

My pain is much less than it was, but I have to be really careful
about what I do..know my limits. I cannot really swim, the pulling
motion would flare me up for sure. But, I have gotten in pretty
good shape, sort of working out, and that has helped too.
