Third Best Invention

[cjsmith]

The best invention ever is still birth control pills. The second best is still Aleve.

I've discovered the third best: lidocaine patches.

Mmmmm. Druuuuuugs.

I'll agree with Aleve, most of the time. Sometimes OTC pain drugs just don't do squat with me. Can't speak for the BCPs. ;-)

BCP stands for Best Control of Pain. Using Aleve would be like fighting a dragon with a hatpin, if I didn't also have the BCPs.

What kind of pain makes a big difference, I've learned. Vicodin doesn't touch nerve pain. Aleve doesn't do headaches (for me). Ah, the things I wish I'd known when I was fourteen!
