Bob,
First of all, any pain medication MUST NOT be part a NSAID (non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug).  This is the cause of your reaction.

Secondly, have you tried BVT (bee venom therapy) on the areas of your body
that are in pain?  I would suspect there is some traumatic arthritis already
settle in those areas.  Try contacting the AAS (American Apitherapy Society,
secy. is Linda Day  [log in to unmask]) for someone in your area that can show
you how to do this.  It's worked for me.

Always Bee Healthy,
