As for the aches? Try a really hot (as hot as you can take it) radox bath.
A few weeks a go I was rushed into hospital with bleeding duodenal ulcers ( I was unaware of a developing problem) and once I mentioned my use of Aspirin the doctors 'found it' lights came on and now after blood transfusions, lots of Iron tablets and an Aspirin free diet I am perfectly well again.
OK, I knew Aspirin and other anti-inflammatories could cause stomach irriation but I was only taking one or two at night - seemingly, that's all it takes......lesson learned.
In the past I might have recommended Aspirin for aches and pains - but not now.
I was aware that Aspirin is an anticoagulant and will stop blood from clotting which makes a haemorrhage all the more tricky to deal with.
I think there are some heart and stroke sufferers who take warfarin to keep their blood fluid and free from clots.
What I did not realise that Warfarin is a naturally occurring chemical - you might find this article interesting - A Short History and Useful Factoids about Warfarin (Coumadin)
Have found a FANTASTIC Osteopath. Regular visits ensures that the old bones are where they should be. Don't suffer from so many headaches either. It is expensive, but you get a massage before the bone crunching starts, it's well worth it. I leave the table two inches higher and pain free.
As for gloves, I almost always wear them while gardening and have found that the latex or nitrile coated gloves are fantastic for dexterity and don't cause any irritation. I've managed to find some quite inexpensive ones which you can order my bulk from a company called ProTek Direct. They're quite robust for the type of glove - some of the cheaper ones can fall apart after a couple of weeks - but these ones seem to be quite good.
Actually Phil, is there any chance you could negotiate a deal with them for LJ members?
Will try the radox bath after tomorrows day of labour.
