Thanks @jcrecruit it sounds like you have been and are still going through it. Anything that has an unusual anti-inflammatory action is interesting so I shall PM.
I have to "give up the gun" quite literally this week sir to inflammation. I happen to be a good shot (I'm not a gun nut) and was enjoying going to a nearby range that some military friends here invited me to. The shock is causing increasing joint issues even in my shoulder and I can't tolerate NSAIDs much anymore. I am just far more sensitive to inflammation now. Just one or two tablets a fortnight maybe but any more now and I get muscle tenderness and spasms from the meds. It is weird when even face muscles sting when touched.
I will say that the narrow range in temperature here in Medellin is amazing for melting away the aches and pains. I was in a colder region recently for a week and reminded of stiffness I've not felt since I left living in the UK. Moving to South America may be a good change (if the climate is right)!

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
It may interest some, I have started doing flotation therapy (not full sensory deprivation) and it is really helping with my back pain.
Lately a continuous pain signal has returned, maybe 3/10 level and it gets wearing. As the guy says in the clip below, the effect lasts a couple of days.
You don't need to tell me about backs. I had surgery on my back in 2004 at the age of 35. I had the bottom disc removed, it was the only option. Surgeon did it on a Sunday said it needed to be done NOW or I prolly wouldn't walk by morning. I'd been going through major pains for a few yrs from a lifting injury at work. He told me I would eventually need another surgery on the L2 an possibly the L3. I do have some atrophy an numbness in my left leg but can still walk fine, with a little gimp. Cannot run though. That hit me at first, as at the age of 18 I was nearing the world record in the 100 an 200 meters.
I agree with you on good footwear. Myself like a boot with about a 2" heel.
As a funny note I also rode bulls for 15 yrs. Most of them with a bad back. No I didn't quit after surgery either. Told surgeon my back feels so much better after a ride or 2. His reply was "That don't surprise me, that bull will do in 8 seconds what it takes a chiropractor 3 months to do. However it doesn't mean it's doing you any good. You just feel better doesn't mean you are better."
