You might ask your doctor about Voltaren or Flector Patches. They are anti-inflammatories that are supposed to be easier on your system. Terry might have more information.

Thanks Katie. Very thoughtful of you. I am doing a bit better since I stopped the anti-inflammatories, but I'm still concerned about the blood in my urine. And since I can't take the anti-inflam., my back has really been bothering me. Sometimes I just feel like I am on a merry-go-round. Up down, up down, round and round.Hopefully things will settle back down soon.
