Hi Bobby,

Aleve is a pain reliever and an anti-inflammatory, which is why it should be

good for joint type pain....but no anti-inflammatory works for everyone. This is

what Dr. Druker also recommends for TKI pain problems.

It would probably be helpful if you could learn some specific stretches to do

for your hip (and your low back, because any thightness there is probably

connected). This might prevent recurrent episodes. You could ask for a referral

to a physical therapist just to learn some stretches (they would pick the best

ones for you to do).

ALSO LADY.......I KEEP waiting to see your newest achievement in your

signature.....PCRU!!! Each time I read a note from you, I want to see that and

smile and think that maybe by the time I have had cml for 15 years I will get

there also!

Best to you,

C.
