Using Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel 1%?
I have had patients use it on the neck and shoulders without difficulty, but safer substances that might be helpful are CBD oil, DMSO, essential oils like Frankincense and/or lavender. I would also recommend you see your physician as you may have a joint problem that needs to be addressed. Klee Bethel READ MORE

For many years we thought that opioids did help chronic pain but the data are now in and there’s no reason to believe that opioids have chronic pain. Those people who are already on them for chronic pain will testify that they are helpful but that’s more about their dependency than anything that opioids do for the chronic pain. READ MORE

If you mean tylenol, short term, 4grams per day is the maximum dose. For ibuprofen, 2400mg is the maximum dose, Aleve maxes out at 150mg per day. All these max doses are for short-term use only; the dose should be about half for long-term use. READ MORE

How can I ease the pain of tendonitis?
You can try anti-inflammatories like Advil or perhaps sometimes a Medrol dose pack is necessary which you can get from your physician. Regenerative approaches may also be appropriate number one will be prolotherapy but regardless of how you choose to treat it, tendinitis responds best to rest of the tendon in question. This can be accomplished with bands or braces which change the focus of leverage, or just not using it. READ MORE

Dr. Klee S Bethel MD's reviews
Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Bethel
- Arlene
I went to Dr. Bethel several years ago, but I don't think I ever wrote a review about my experience with him. I had been having neck pain for several months. I had tried several medical treatments, but nothing worked. Then I read about PROLOTHERAPY. I had heard that Dr. Bethel was a proponent of that treatment. So I made an appointment with him. As I said this was several years ago. I went to him for a treatment. I had, probably, at least two treatments. After his treatment my pain was completely gone and has never returned. From my experience I highly recommend both Dr. Bethel and the treatment. There are no side effects, and Dr. Bethel is an incredibly kind and efficient doctor.
