does anyone know of a decent pain therapy that doesnt involve being palmed off with lots of pills?

Hi Jay 1975,

I find doing really fiendish sudoku or knitting complicated Fairisle patterns takes my mind off the pain and enables me to manage with only two doses of tramadol a day except for the worst days. Good books don't seem to take up quite enough of the brains activity. Hope you find something as pain and/or pills is not a good choice

Thankyou for that but i'm crap at sudoku so i will find something else to occupy my mind lol.

Try Reiki, I know it works for me.

I am trying cherry juice and apple cider vinigar because Iv'e had such a lot of trouble with pain killers and gastro tablets. I'm trying to manage on a couple of paracetamol and an asprin . a day now.since ihad the knee replacement last year Ihave been getting really bad pain when I get up in the mornings in my hip muscle.thigh and calf. I haven't a clue why. but i'd love to get rid of it. I wonder if its shrinking muscles and tendons causing it because I did a bit exra walking a few weeks ago when i went to visit my daughterand it got better fopr a few days but suddenly came back. i told the doctor when i went for a check up about it and all he said was ,it might go away.. not very helpful..
