Re: Medicine question

Thank you all for the experiences and suggestions. I am very 'stubborn' adding certain pharmaceuticals to my pain mngmt program.

Re: freezing cold

Check out the 'hot chili's" brand of thermal clothing. At a place like REI, EMS, Macy's maybe.
Point is they hug the body tight and you could sew a pocket or maybe elastic materials easily. If you can, the NFL has sporting equipment that will accomplish your goals.
Good Luck and Best.
