Magnesium Oil

Good Morning Everyone

Very gentle hugs to you all.

I have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis in the spine and hips, 3 old fractures of the spine, osteoarthritis of 3 vertabrae, a slight bulging disc and rheumatoid arthritis. I was on 40mg Zomorph a day, 500mg paracetamol 2 x 3 times a day. Zomorph is the most disgusting medication on the planet, I constantly feel sick, have no appetite and feel drowsy all the time. I thought enough is enough, it's bad enough still having the pain,but to have the side effects on top of it is not good. I started trawling the internet for chemical free remedies and came across Magnesium oil. I am a natural sceptic, but thought hey why not give it a go. It says that it helps with pain and helps you to sleep. I can only sleep on my right hand side and I wake up every hour with excruciating pain in my right shoulder because I am sleeping in a funny position. Friday night I sprayed the oil on my shoulder and slept through from 9pm - 5.45 am. When I got up I found that my back pain had decreased and I didn't feel sick. I felt a bit drowsy, but had an hour's sleep in the afternoon and woke up fine. Saturday I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thought maybe it was just be a fluke and tried it again last night. Slept from 10pm - 6.45 (woke up once at 4.45 but went straight back to sleep). This morning no nausea and pain in back decreased again, also don't feel drowsy. I am now going to decrease the morphine by 10mg and see how I get on with that. I am not saying I have found a micracle cure, but at the moment it's working for me. Anything that will help me cut down on the morphine is good enough for me

Sounds very interesting. If it works use it.

Hi I put 3 handfuls of magnesium flakes (just the cheap ones from home bargains) with a few drop of lavender oil in the bath a couple of times a week. Soak for 10 - 15 mins and sleep brilliantly! Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and you can rub it in, soak in it and I even take take magnesium citrate by mouth in capsule form... you can take quite a large amount each day...it’s really good for you.

My story is very similar to yours, even down to having to sleep on my right side as the OA in my spine prevents me laying on my back. I was prescribed Forsteo to help rebuild the bones but since the very first dose(daily injections) have been woken up by crippling cramp in feet, legs or both. I had been mulling over the idea of magnesium supplements as I'd heard this may help and having read your success story will definitely give them a try. Thanks for the shove!
