This is boring, obvious advice, but I have the bloodwork to back it up.
Last time I went in, my GP said "hey, have you been taking a lot of NSAIDs?" "Yeah, mostly ibuprofen and occasionally naproxen sodium." "they're tough on your kidneys. knock it off."
so, thus advised, I bought a big fucking bottle of acetomenaphen and a likewise big fucking bottle of aspirin, and have subsequently been taking them in circulation to distribute the filtering and processing load (aspirin is handled by the stomach, iirc, and acetomenaphen by the liver)
today, things looked better, and i'll get the rest of my bloodwork results probably monday or tuesday.
still suspect my T levels are on the low/low normal side, but any more aggressive therapy options there are handing me over to the realm of specialists.
i did get a referral to a shoulder dude, since, as suspected, the skeletal aspect of my left shoulder looks just fine.
