So last week when talking to my Hematologist (who from here on out shall be referred to as "Dr. K") I mentioned the achy feeling/bone pain I have after getting my injections. She commented that it would make absolute sense that my bones were "achy" because we were 'asking my bone marrow to work harder'. Phew! I'm not crazy! (Well, concerning this, anyhow!). Since people with bleeding problems are not supposed to take ibuprofen she recommended I take some Doans pills to relieve the pain that acetaminaphin didn't take care of. The Magnesium Salicylate relieves pain and inflamation like ibuprofin, and in fact, is listed in the same 'class' of drugs as ibuprofin, but is safe to take if you have bleeding/clotting problems. We actually had some at home, so I was able to take some and they worked so well! It's so great to have an alternative to Tylenol (which as far as I'm concerned is a waste of money...it does nothing for me) that actually works and is safe for me to take.
