One sad thing about the job I have currently is that it stresses my muscles quite a bit. That leaves me with a desire to manage the pain that I have as a result. I've been cautiously taking aspirin but am not sure that is the best NASID available for managing such pain. I'm up to over 1000mg of it at a dose, even if it is just once a day, and that worries me too. I take 3, 375 mg tabs a time in the evening, and I suspect that may be a bit too much... Yet what else shall I do? 4 hours of sleep then waking with cramping (actually pins and needles) in my hands is too much! I need more and better sleep, but am not getting it.
