For a number of years now, I have had a few members of my family that have suffered from Arthritis.  I have seen them suffer through excruciating pain, and I just don’t like it.  It makes me sad that I may suffer the same fate as them.

In fact, I think I am starting to show the beginning signs of having Arthritis - and that sucks.  I have talked to my doctor about it, and he has suggested that I take drugs for the pain.  Though I am not big on taking pills, in this instance, I know that I should be taking them.

So, I have started taking Motrin generic pills to relieve some of the pain that I am experiencing.  Thankfully, it is a low dose, but it enough to remove the distraction of being in pain all the time.  I am able to play with my children a little more.  I want them to remember the times they had playing with their father and if that means I need to take painkillers, so be it.
