Unfortunately I like both "Q's" which is hard on the wallet.

I've never thought of pain killers of any type as preventative, or take
pre-pain.
(is that a word?) I've got arthritis in one knee I do a fair amount of
running. (gotta work of those beer calories ya know) I've got a standing
prescription for Indocin, which is really powerful, but I hate taking it
because it makes me loopy. Not the nice loopy like vicodin, but just dizzy.
Maybe I'll try your suggestion on that one.

Thanks
