Chronic pain solutions anybody??


Question: It is really bad tonight, and all over. I've had chronic pain for ten years, but this is an all time high.

Can anybody give me any suggestions that I could put into practice right now (massage, accupuncture.. etc would be great, but will have to wait until morning).
Answers: take a warm bath or shower, listen to calming music, meditation, heating pad or hot pack of some sort, stretching... if you have some biofreeze, tiger balm, icy hot, try rubbing that in the areas that hurt. be sure to stay hydrated and try to get enough sleep. if you're lacking in either, pain, emotions, and stress seem so much more intense
I wrote an article on chronic pain located on myspace.com/redrosediane. In the meantime, this is something you want to speak with a pain management doctor. There are many alternatives you should also discuss. If you don't have a physiatrist (pain med doctor) then have your primary doctor recommend one. Pain clinics are everywhere now. When I went, they provided heat and nerve stimulators including pain medications.
Have you checked out the new procedure for spinal cord stimulators? look it up on the net.
I have chronic pain too, 5 years.

Incense or candles, sound machine or music--anything that helps the senses distract me from pain.

I finally got a dose of med that helps--for the first time in 4 years!

Good luck! It's so very tough as you already know.
Pl try steam bath, it is the only way as you have already taken massage and acupuncture out of our weaponry.
You have not mensioned pain site otherwise strong magnet also works nicely( not the magnetic bed).

Don't know whether this works but no harm giving it a try! Squeeze half a lemon into a glass of water....just drink it. You'll find it helps to 'kill' the pain after a couple of hours - keep on repeating when necessary...but if used too long: frequently and over say 2 or 3 weeks, becasue your body gets used to this the effect becomes less effective. Lay off then for a month (using other possible solutions) and come back to this method thereafter. Of course depending on your body constitution it will work to various degree. Best of luck!
You could smoke marijuana. I know they use it for chronic ailments such that you describe.
For now, take some Advil for the pain. Take a Benedryl to help you sleep until you can get more relief in the morning.
most medicines are made from stuff God made. Have you heard of resveratol? my friend has cancer and about two years ago they told him he had three months, he takes the stuff and is still ok and no chemo or doctors.

I have busted neck and back. Two ruptured discs in back hurt the most. I used to think I was slobbering on the pillow when I woke up but the doctor told me it was tears froo pain and it was. I take 10mg/325 norco, but started taking this resveratrol.

The M. D. Anderson cancer Center in Houston has done the research here, but China nad Japan have done a ton. Mmost of it is made from the root of the knotweed plant, but i get the stuff made from the muscadine grape, made in the southern United States. Go to www. oldsouthwinery.com and check out links. They sell New-U . Also vitamin and health food stores have it. Also vitacost.com.

Anyway the stuff acts as a cox 1-2 inhibitor like Vioxx and Celebrex without the side effects. Trust me you know when you have taken enough of it. It is also good for your heart and puts as much oxygen in the system as Viagra. Wait till the old guys and wives find out.

Anyway I take it mainly for the disc in back and it really helps, so take it. Runs $15-$30 a bottle depending who you buy from. Also you can put aggarwal resveratrol in google search and find the 60 page report from Anderson, it explains how the stuff works and it is safe.

Take it from somene who has been in the hospital three times because the pain was so bad his heart went out the stuff works. God Bless and hope you get better. Also knowthecause.com, Mr. Coffman swears a lot of stuff is related to mold and fungus, check out his site. He has a tv show and see if you can get it. You can also e-mailhim and he doesn't charge. Later Gator.
