Ibuprofen and glucosamine bisulphate.Wow-Larry-you and I have been at this fly fishing thing for a combined 122 years! No wonder we ache. Unfortunately there is only one cure for old age and it is a permanent one. My only suggestion would be to leave the tiger muskies to the younger guys and find some fish that are happy being landed on a 3 or 4 wt. As I approach eighty a 9 or 10 wt rod has about as much appeal as a 60# backpack.
Is it arthritis that is bothering you? What do the xrays look like? I'm not sure there is any long term relief that doesn't involve drugs of some kind but it sure would be nice if you could find some comfort with therapy or supplements of some kind. Good luck with finding some help, let us know if you find the magic bullet.
I have to deal with extreme rheumatoid arthritis in both hip joints (needing replacement), and still find the will to get out and fish as much as I can. My best advice is see your doctor, it may be some arthritus that is building up that a quick surgery can fix. For pain, talk to your doc about meloxicam as that is what I am on. I also take turmeric, and glucosamine chondroiton. For the bad days I have percocet but force myself to find other means of pain relief. Therefore, I fill my perfocet once every 6 months. Go see the doc and he or she will help you. Again..............GO SEE THAT DOC.Beginning my old man aches and pains after 57 years of fly fishing. I need a recommendation on how to prevent pain in my thumb. Last year was my first year of chasing Tiger Musky and was casting all day with big stuff. It was killer on my thumb. Is there, are there anything of a support or glove that anyone can recommend to prevent or ease the pain from fishing with 9-10 wt rod all day? Thank you.

Dan that it a hard thing to have to deal with. Stay with it, hope things go well.I have to deal with extreme rheumatoid arthritis in both hip joints (needing replacement), and still find the will to get out and fish as much as I can.
Sorry to hear that. I have heard a few success stories with chronic pain relief using cannibis based oils (non-hallucinogenic). None of whom were recreational users (as far as I know). Just going off what I've been told, so not sure if this stuff is really legit or not. Might be something worth looking into though.Beginning my old man aches and pains after 57 years of fly fishing.
