How long do you want to suffer?
That's what Doc asked me. He said, yes, I do have tendonitus. It's a symptom of a bigger problem in my body. I might not have arthritis in the joints, but I do have inflammation. Inflammation is the systemic disease in my body. It's just not about mobility. It's about my organs. While they could run through every anti-inflammatory in the drug compendium, NSAIDS/COX2s only treat the symptom, not the disease. We have to be aggressive and in 6 weeks or sooner, the inflammation will be under control and the pain will recede. Then, we can deal individually with the other injuries if they haven't been helped. Tramadol is the best alternative for pain right now given the treatment plan. Doc said to not be afraid to ask for more pills from the Rh; they dole them out on a monthly authorization. Doc told me a bit about the treatment plan proposed by the Rh. It's not lifetime drug therapy. Once my inflammation is gone, they taper off the drug to see if my body can hold its own. Doc said it is intervention. My lifestyle changes and nutrient supplements will be more effective after the meds short circuit the inflammation response. Without intervention, my active lifestyle will slowly dissolve away through chronic pain despite my willpower.

So why do I choose suffering? I make a choice. I can control my life. Mind-body-spirit connection. The body follows where the mind leads. Imperfect faith? Imperfect practice? Imperfect understanding? Imperfect submission?
