Evidently, I'm getting old

X-rays show more arthritis showing up in my joints, but nothing else.  I'm going to start straight up painkillers, for my other meds make me throw up, which is bad for a diabetic on shots.  

It may be that I am in for a long haul of my back always hurting, or that I strained muscles, and it will get better soon (or not so soon).  Pretty much what I thought before I went to the doctor's, but at least now I know for sure what I was pretty certain of before, that I did not have a spinal injury doing this to me.

I know a couple of people with liver problems because they have to take medicine for chronic pain. I'd like to avoid that.

I support that stance! I always worry about that when I have to take pain killers for long periods of time...
