Afternoon all, going to try and get to DC Tidal Basin today since we are in peak bloom for the Cherry trees. Calling for rain, wind, possible snow on Saturday which quickly degrades the fragile flower petals.

Here’s this morning’s pix from the local TV news crew

That’s lovely!

Ibuprofen at 09:15 and again at 13:15! Keep going with the ibuprofen if necessary. Good luck!
Thanks Linda. Getting the ibuprofen tonight. Although I am already on strong pain meds Tramahexal so not sure if I can take the ibuprofen on top of that. Will ask the Chemist though.

Tramadol and Ibuprofen

by Maria Bogdanova. May 20, 2012

Tramadol is a narcotic pain-killer that is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. Tramadol is a potent drug that can engage in a number of drug interactions, some of which potentially dangerous. That is why you should always consult your physician when taking Tramadol and any other drugs, even if they are over-the-counter medicines, herbs or dietary supplements.

Ibuprofen (Advil, Nurofen, Motrin etc) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of certain substances in the affected organs that lead to inflammation and pain. Unlike Tramadol, it is not a centrally-acting medicine. Ibuprofen is used to treat mild to moderate pain and to reduce fever and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis as it not only reduces pain, but also treats inflammation which results in reducing the swelling of joints.

In general, the combination Tramadol and Ibuprofen is a safe one. These drugs together potentiate each other’s pain-relieving effect without any significant side effects. Ibuprofen adds an anti-inflammatory effect to the strong pain-relieving effect of Tramadol which makes the combination especially useful when treating conditions accompanied with inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis and many of the diseases of the musculoskeletal system. When taken together, a lower dosage of Tramadol may be needed. The maximum dosage per day for Ibuprofen is 600 mg but when combined with Tramadol, a lower dosage is also recommended

It’s a rotator cuff injury. Next stop a referral on Monday lunchtime to decide if I need physio alone or an orthopaedic specialist.

Oh, MY!!!![emoji33]

If it’s any help, my husband had rotator cuff surgery, did all his post op physiotherapy and exercises faithfully, and is 100% PAIN FREE and functional!
The surgery was about 10 years ago and he’s never had any problems!

Sending HUGS and wishes for a permanent pain-free solution![emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

The Russian/Bulgarian name of the author threw me off! :D Idk, maybe a professional habit. (Worked as a journalist once.) :D

This is the last picture I have of her.
Any prayers for the family is appreciated.

I may not be on here for a few days. Just thought I'd let you all know why.

Love you all.
