Pain control

My major physical aliments are the result of too much surfing (WHAT? How can there be such a thing!?!?!?). Overuse injuries. When the tendinitis first reared its ugly head in the mid-seventies, the doctor told me to . . . get this . . . stop surfing. HA! That sure didn't happen. As time went by and the knees, shoulders, back and you-name-it took a beating, finally got some physical therapy and learned more about stretching (which is so difficult to stop and do when the waves are calling and ya just wanna get to 'em) and strengthening the muscles surrounding the joints. As I continued with my workouts, my body got so much stronger (and prettier...) that paddling was smooth as butter and wipeouts were easier to endure. Anyway, that was before the obnoxious crowds finally chased me outta the gym and waves. Now, just trying to keep the ol' bones from completely giving up altogether...

More trouble for Tylenol ! I just finished reading an article about some other tests involving acetiminaphen, the main brand of which is Tylenol.
Now it is being linked to the epidemic we have of ADHD children. Apparently, when the mothers were pregnant, and used the NSAID acetiminaphen, the children are much more likely to develup some form of ADHD.
This is in additiontion to the warnings about it doing serious liver damage; and Tylenol has decided to put even more obvious warnings on this common OTC pain reliever.

Warning; don't believe everything you read....
 

I have chronic Arthritis in my spine & also nerve damage(irritation). My daily dose of pain killers is
1 75mg tramal + i Lyrica tablet for the nerve irritation: two hours later 2 panadol osti 750 mg tablets
4 hours later 2 more panadol, then in the evening a tramal & a lyrica tablet. this just makes me comfortable.
I was on Morphine patches for a year but they don't agree with me!
 
Gluten is not good for RA and the other 100 kinds of arthritis. Red meat is a no no too. I have RA. I take nothing for it. Ma blessed me with the High Tolerance For Pain gene. When it is really bad, I take half a vicodin. When it is just irritating, I take one advil. That's it.

Going gluten free made a HUGE difference. Not only did I lose 40 lbs so now I am my regular weight that I was in high school, I also do not have any inflammation except on rare occassions.
 
Interesting thanks so much will investigate it some more.. I have very little sugar and I do notice a change when I have sugar in my cuppa..
so maybe go more about cutting that out also I have little red meat due to my iron overload problem so still I guess I should really work out
diet wise properly ,, and try to be wiser ... so will work on that ... :)
 
Getting back to the original thread was pain from dentistry. A woman came to me with ex stream tooth pain we simply applied some oil of cloves and in seconds the pain was gone. The old dentists used that before drugs where the in thing. It is faster and it also has an high ORAC score so it cleans up a lot of free radical damage as a freebee
 
To control back pain I sleep on my back on an infrared heating pad every night with a pillow under my left knee. I do not use a pillow under my head. (Yes, I have to stick my feet out from under the covers).

This also alleviates - really STOPS - neck, shoulder, knee and hip pain. No doctor told me this but I found the solution and it works. (I have a slight curvature which throws my whole body off).

For back/hip pain which occurs due to sitting too long (like at a job), I use a hot/cold compress underbelt (from Walgreens drug store) which has two large pockets and a velcro closure, I put two LARGE "hot hands" heat packets in the belt with the heat lasting approximately 12 hours or more. It takes away and prevents back pain. (I rarely have to do this).

To eliminate arthritis pain (which I was developing the gnarled joints and pain), I switched to a grain-free, low carb diet. The pain WENT AWAY. I also take cod liver oil capsules and glucosomine. (The gnarled joints returned to normal).

I am relatively pain free now. Extreme cold can sometimes cause arthritis to kick in but heat treatment takes care of that.

My low carb diet also eradicated my sinus/allergy problem and my acid reflux problem. I also lost 50 pounds.
 
If you went grain free and you feel better you probably had a gluten intolerance and was unable to absorb what your body needed to fix itself.
For any arthritis I love bone soup because it is made from all the things your body needs to fix the problem.
 
Bone soup - buy bones /joints with a little meat boil in water and vinegar for two or more hours or more. The vinegar will leach out all the minerals and the cartilage from the bones. Then I take the bones out and strip off the meat and return it into the soup after that I cut my vegetables / spices and cook until the vegetables are cooked. All the nutriments leach out of the bones are the same nutriments your body needs to make new joints. Besides that it taste good and cheap medicine.
 
Funny you are treating your pet better than you. If you read the contents of most dog foods they have a lot of different mineral like about 40 and check the powder milk we give to our children has 9. That is probably why out pets are living longer and or children are sick.
