knee pain when you talk about it no one listen or cares they think your faking.
so my brief story is as follows nearly broke leg at knee but while waiting for surgery put all weight on other leg started to get hip pain on the side i was now putting weight onto .
after surgery pain from the injury went but few year later started to get burning sensation in both knees that would make me what to cry the psin got worst at times couldnt walk and could stand for longer than hour even told i may be disabled in the future
then a pastor friend gave me some ointment to try i mocked him thinking how could it help as the nefication im on didnt so only took small amount my first mistake. the tesult was fabulous
i could sleep at nights withoit being kept awake with the pain , i can walk and stand longer my second mistake was not accepting more when offered at the time
convinced on this ointment ability to provide pain relief not cure it i gave some to a friend to try after his daughter begged me to help him and her mum who do not want to use tradtional medicine i hope it works fir them as it did for me the morale to the story is that there are things that can help dont give in
Yes we shoulld try all possible options for pain relief, because what works for one may not for another. Herbal ointments and natural remedies work wonders for some as do traditional medicine. I get much releive from pain with a cold or heated pad and no side effects from tablets that way. Sometimesw more than one remedy used together works well also.
i agree but to get off that roller coaster of remembering if you taken your tablet today or not or panicking when you have run out or going through the expense of additional products like heat pad which have a great soothing effect still dont stop you feeling old acting old becaues of the pain but your correct one size dont fit all but should certinly try the closer you can get to longer term pain relief surley the more content you are rather than managing it on a daily basis
best wishes you sound in a good placeb
Hi I have several methods to help pain, not just one. We even discussed alcohol at our arthritis action meeting and a new process thats being researched and has been tested on serving soldiers. Not in a good place actually I am trying to manage the added pain of broken shoulder at present with no extra pain releif. It's called mind over matter and keeping busy distracts the mind from pain. I agree a long term solution is what is needed for many of us, but often not acheived. Yoga is an alternative many use these days also. Bye for now
