This is a general post for all of us that experience pain and bowl. Put a bottle of stop pain in your bag. Comes in spray on or roll on and it is like heat ,but its milder in odor,its also very effective. I use it on my knees, wrist,back,whatever,it really works

I do have a prescription for Tramadol and I do take one before bowling or golf. But I also take a Naproxen Sodium (Aleve). It is the generic stuff and it works just the same as the national brand. It is a few bucks cheaper. I tolerate all the NSAIDs well. Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Naproxen sodium are all anti-inflammatorys. Some people can handle some better than others. Ibuprofen seems to be well tolerated by most people I have talked to. Naproxen (Aleve) may be tougher for some. It is stronger and can cause stomach upset. But as with any of these take it with a little food.

I heard aleive works better than ibuprofen (motrin and advil).

But for the best results I suggest a spliff and a couple of shots of bourbon.

+1, Aleve liqui-gels are always in my bag.  I have found them to be the most effective, and you only have to take one.

That being said, nothing is a substitute for a cannon and (here's where i'll differ) a captain and coke.   To each their own........

Aleve is the best...just take it about 30 min before you bowl and you will be good for the night...

If you have any chronic conditions, be careful what you take for pain.  NSAIDS
cause problems if you have diabetes or significant arthritis.  They interfere
with kidney function.  Tylenol is usually recommended for these people.

Whoever said Acetaminophen is an anti-inflammatory is wrong, its a pain reliever and will do nothing for inflammation.  Ibuprofen and Naproxen are NSAID's.  Span/pitch/hole size is off, so get that checked.

I have a new span people, but the new span alone is not going to fix my hand, which is why I'm seeing what meds work best until I go to a doctor.

If you're not doing it already, learn how to stretch the muscles/tendons your arm and hand properly. Staying flexible will prevent most 'pain' problems in the long run. Make it part of your daily routine, even when you're not bowling. Aleve/Advil are fine to help you get through very short term problems, but you don't want to depend on medication in the long run.

It's amazing to read that kids like CGsSuK need to use meds at such a young age. It makes you wonder how they'll be able to function once they become adults.
