The nurse practitoner I talked to last week called me today. She has been checking into a topical anti-inflammary drug for me. We needed to see if my insurance will cover it. She found out they will cover part but not all of a gel called Voltaren. It would help the inflamation without the harming my kidneys or liver. I'll be checking my my doctor about it next time I go. I want to get this vitamin D thing taken care of first if possible, just to see if any pain goes away.

I had other questions about the vitamin D stuff that she answered for me too. I can't believe how nice she is. It was so sweet of her to check on that for me and call me back.
