Looks like you'll have to amputate! j/k I'm so sorry about that. cat fights sound a lot worse than they are. I have 5 and only 2 like each other, well tolerate each other.

I'm so sorry about this hon. But, even if it's a pain (haha, excuse the pun, unintentional) you need to follow the doc's advice. Also, you can take more than a few aleve. I believe the most is 5 (1000mg), but I never take that much. My doc told me to try 4 Tylenol and 4 Aleve TOGETHER to try to get rid of my headache. So, as long as it's not all the time it shouldn't hurt you. I bet the Aleve helps with the inflamation and that helps with the pain.

Take care. I'll be PMing you in a few days when I have time. K?
