Over here we have a product called voltaren. It is potassium diclofenac. (spelling?) Not sure if you can get it in the States or what it is called, would be interested to know if anyone uses it.

This works really well as it relieves pain and loosens you up (anti inflammatory). Not good for the stomach (and plenty of other nasty side effects) and a good indicator for me that my back strength is falling away when I have to start taking these to play... However, I will go from hardly being able to walk to being able to play within half an hour!

None of the above....I use Motrin. Works like a charm for me. However, I would imagine what works best really depends on what's the true cause of your back pain.

Funny you say bring this up, I lived off of Advil, but startedusing aleve and it seemed to work better. Now I had a prescritiption that I would take pre round then follow up with aleve or advil at the turn as well... my discs are pretty bad so I live off the stuff.

I do know that I've takend these plus like 8 advil around and still was unable to play because of the pain. Love the back!

I broke my wrist as a kid learning how to skate, and we never got it fixed right. So, I get a very sharp pain and it becomes very immoble and stiff every now and then. So, when it's acting up and I plan on playing I take some Tylenol Artwritis. Seems to work...

Advil. Otherwise, Tylenol. I usually exceed the recommended dosage (shh, don't tell anyone) and take three minimum or 4 for worse pain.

I can't take ibuprofin (Advil, Motrin) or naproxin (Aleve) because of kidney problems and those products are rough on the kidneys. I normally dose up with Tylenol when I'm leaving the house on the way to the course. Dosing before the round keeps me more comfortable during the round and I experience much less discomfort later...

Aleve for my back seems to be the best. However, a Motrin 800 is my favorite when I can get one. Great for the pain without effecting the brain. A friend has major problems so they give them to him all the time. He tries not to take them too often so I will get a few from him when I need it.

Thanks for the feedback. I remember reading something about either Advil or Aleve raising your blood pressure...not sure though. Higher BP on the course would not be a good thing.

Ditto the first part. I only take a Tylenol if I've got a serious headache - no such problems on the course however.

I prefer motrin and a LOT of stretching for my back pain. I have found in this off-season that stretching my hamstrings helps just as much as the Motrin but I am sure that is case specific.

Generally I like to stretch the muscle as much as I can..before i try a pain reliever..but I actually use something that might seem strange...I use Vicks vapor Rub...it might seem weird but it actually works for me whenever i have a muscle that aches..Though I would recommend Advil--i just think its the best

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I have arthritis in my lower back. Two Alleves (or the generic equivalent: Naproxen / Naprosyn) and I'm good for at least eight hours.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
