What helps with the your pain

[Zarabee]

I've got a few illnesses on some medication and painkillers but try cut down on painkillers so was wondering what helps other people with pain x ? Hope you don't mind me asking this question x

I am with you on that . I use a Tens machine find that helps also I have found gentle swimming in a warm pool followed by the sauna relaxes me . It took mea long time to reduce my pain meds going very slowly over 2 years . If you haven't been , I strongly recommend Pain Management classes , these helped me enormously, as I had one to one with a lady who herself had multiple disabilities so she knew exactly what she was talking about . I also practise relaxation & mindfulness .

What health issues do you have that’s causing you pain?

I have nerve pain and muscle spasms. I have found curcumin, Boswellia, and Passionflower to help with pain and magnesium glycinate helps the spasms. For sleep I use a Valerian tablet and melatonin.

Hi Zarabee, I use painkillers , heat pads, massage, physio exercises at home,creams and sprays to help muscle pain. and have reduced the kind of activities I do so joints are not over taxed , little and often. These things might not work for nerve pains and you need to test all options available that might work for you as we are all different. Distraction is a good help as it takes your mind off the pain. good idea to talk on this site. Have a nice day sppeak to you again some time. Stay safe
