Morphine lol. I thought all plumbers were real men.

You sound awfully like one of these Millenials. :sneaky:

The pain killers I have give me constipation.
I'm still recovering from snapping ACL to my Patella.

4 months I was told I'd be off work. Back after 2 weeks. That's being. Plumber.

The ACL is not connected to the patella - its Anterior.

The patella is a tendon, the ACL is a ligament - one attaches muscle to bone - tendon, the other attaches bone to bone - ligament.

It depends if you had any other damage to your knee, 4 months off work is excessive. But I suppose money bags plumbers need to pay for their high life.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::p

NSAIDs will give you constipation, they can affect the stomach wall.
 
Thats knee antomy, you mentioned you snapped your patella tendon and ACL?

Usually happens when fat plumbers try to play sports with their kids. :mrgreen:

Nearly all true. This was in February before I did my knee
 
What is the purpose of that pose?

Sandals? :eek:

You truly are middle aged.

Clearly. 52.
32 degrees and a beach. Perfect for sandals
Just brought some new ones fro Clarks.

Take a glance at the sirsasana benefits:

(Headstand)

1. Natural treatment for Hair Loss: Losing hair is awful and is a definitive representation of your health. One may not be able to fully stop the hair fall but can surely slow down the process with the practice of headstand. Sirsasana increases blood flow and provides nutrients to the scalp region thus decreasing hair fall and the onset of grey hair.

2. Calms the Brain:The upside-down position of headstand amplifies the flow of blood to the brain. The freshly-oxygenated blood stimulates the pituitary and pineal glands which calm and rejuvenate the mind. The practice of headstand combined with deep breathing is a powerful recipe for relieving stress, depression, and insomnia.

3. Increases focus:When you go upside-down, the blood flow is directed from the feet to the head. This improves mental function and in turn, elevates the focus of the person. Also, enhanced blood flow decreases tensions and makes your mind sharper and clearer.

4. Therapeutic for a Headache and Migraine: Sirsasana effectively relaxes and strengthens the blood vessels in the brain thereby preventing headaches and migraine. Also, the practice of headstands increases nutrients in the mind that tranquilizes the brain and prevents headaches.

5. Strengthens Arms and Shoulders: Sirsasana strengthens the core by improving the upper body strength, and muscle endurance. By holding yourself up in the headstand, utilizing the forearms, shoulders and back to keep the head and neck relaxed, you are able to lengthen the spine and relax the vocal muscles.





6. Improves Digestion: By performing an inversion, you allow the effects of gravity to be reversed on the digestive system that removes stuck material, releases trapped gases, and increases the blood flow to the digestive organs.

7. Treats Diabetes Naturally: Diabetes is the byproduct of the improper functioning of the pituitary glands whose symptoms itself manifest in the malfunctioning of the pancreas that increases the development of diabetogenic hormones. The practice of headstand effectively promotes healthy brain functions that control pituitary glands and thus help in combating diabetes.

8. Triggers Lymphatic System: The lymphatic system is responsible for the removal of fluids from the tissues and waste products from the blood. When you flip onto your head, you stimulate the lymphatic system and assist in removal of toxins from the body.

9. Enhance your Sensations: The practice of headstand increases the blood supply in the body and enhances the functions of the sensory organs while curing various problems like bad hearing, myopia, astigmatism perfectly.

10. Cure For Piles and Varicose Vein: The disease of piles and enlarged veins occur due to the accumulation of the blood within the anus and legs. The sirsasana yoga posture breaks down the blood build-up in the veins and anus and transfers it to other parts of the body while alleviating the problem of piles and varicose veins effectively.

With Sirsasana, reap the benefits you deserve and live a holistic, balanced and peaceful life.

Had no pain with the tonsils they had to come out for a different reason.

I do Head stand for about 5 minutes max. I'll be be back t o my Yoga in about a month hopefully. I will really get back into it even more seriously.
 

I don't know what point you wanted to argue. Attaching links to documents doesn't do it.

Just to check US vs. UK prices, I looked at an example.
Your link says:

Harvoni, a [patented] pill that cures Hepatitis C, costs $32,114 here — and $22,554 in the United Kingdom. Less red tape around generic drug competition wouldn’t really change that fact. As long as we’re going to have patented drugs, letting drug manufacturers set their own prices will remain a key driver of America’s higher drug spending.

Looking at a more recent search:
The wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) for ledipasvir-sofosbuvir is $1125 per pill.
  • Cost of 8-week course of therapy = $63,000


2.2 Recommended Dosage in Adults
The recommended dosage of HARVONI is one tablet (90 mg ledipasvir and 400 mg sofosbuvir) taken orally once daily with or without food

https://www.hepatitisc.uw.edu/page/treatment/drugs/ledipasvir-sofosbuvir



But the NHS price (not per dose, but per pack of 28) is much less

I don't know what that tells us, except that (as we knew already) the US medical and pharmaceitical trades are designed and manipulated to achieve high prices.
