today i went to Dr with pain and told them what i always tell them: i can't take NSAIDs, they wreck my stomach.
today was the first time ever I was offered a SHOT of toradol, an NSAID...bypassing my touchy stomach.

it's lovely that she offered, it really helps, tylenol wore off without me gasping in pain and i stopped limping for the first time in months.
BUT WHERE THE HELL WAS THAT OFFER AT PREVIOUS VISITS???
