I need to remember that, when my sinuses start freaking out, naproxen works more reliably than any allergy medication. A few times a year, I'll get an attack where I sneeze and sneeze and my nose runs. My previous approach was just to endure it until I dehydrated enough for it to stop. Neither antihistamines nor decongestants ever did anything for it.
In the last three months, however, I've stopped two attacks dead by taking naproxen. The first time, I thought it might be coincidence, but having done it deliberately yesterday, I think it might be a viable strategy.
I've been looking at diagrams of knee anatomy in an effort to figure out what's hurting in my left knee, and I'm running into the problem that the diagrams mostly show only one knee but don't identify whether it's left or right even though the anatomy for a single knee doesn't appear to be entirely symmetrical. I'm trying to figure out what's in between 3 and 8 o'clock on my left knee (with most of the issues between 3 and 5 o'clock) that would shriek with pain when I kneel but be fine when I stand and when I walk.
I've been having the knee issues for the better part of a month, and I'd like to figure out a strategy for improvement.
