This damp weather is going to kill me.
x(

My arthritic and fake joints are hollering something fierce. We need the rain, but I hate the pain.

1. My dear KitchenWitch!
Oooh, sweetie...

I am so sorry...

What helps? Besides the rain going away?

Heat? Meds? Anything?

A gentle :hug: for you...

2. At this point (because I have been out and about most of the day)
I will be boarding the Vicodin express. I should have taken some naproxen hours ago, to nip it in the bud, but I was out my little pill box was empty.

4. Try some Ortho-Nesic, it is a pain relieving gel, it works for my neighbor.
It has green tea in it, work on my ankle when it hurts.

Hope the rain and damp is over soon.

8. Walgreens has it, maybe CVS.
It goes on cool but gets hot.

I swear it healed my ankle, thought it would never heal.

9. I will run by CVS tomorrow!
I have already taken the Vicodin so I cannot go out driving tonight. Unless I wanted to pull a Britney Spears.

14. Wish I could bring you some now.
Wash you hands after you apply it, you don't want to get it in your eyes or nose.

Trust me.

The stuff get hot.

16. Sure hope it helps.
I have some of the gel on ankle right now, under a sock.

I have a hot foot right now, but it feels so good.

To much walking on the beach, suppose to help the ankle.

So says the Dr.

5. The cold air makes me sputter and wheeze after 1 minute's exposure.

And it's only 18 sodding degrees out. x(

12. Oh no!
:(

:hug:
I hope the pain goes away, and you get that rain as gently as possible.

Yes, I know it's wishful thinking. I'm wishing anyway.

19. And it's going to last until Monday!
Hey KW, at least you'll see if the place is watertight; we're supposed to get more rain than we have since the 90s.
