What do you do to help ease pain? NO meds or supps in this thread please. I am looking for remedies that require none of those
As a sufferer for the past 9 years, to get my endorphins going it is music music and more music and lots of laughs. Deep breathing/meditation works but I don't do that much.
Music and prayer talking to God helps me alot
Damn !!! So smoking crack doesn't count ??? Damn !!!
Hitting up the chiropractor 1x a month maybe 2 , and accupuncture are some of the things that help ease some of the body aches for me !!!
that may be a way for some to cope but looking for different ways.Quote:

Lately, Ive been getting relief from inflammation from tart cherry concentrate. Of course, I take a whole lot of other stuff too
ice
thanks for the ideas. I guess I am speaking of longterm chronic pain? I know my whole body dumped in ice water, head and all, may work,lol. Doesnt sound pleasant
Yes, long term chronic pain, first the anti inflammatory diet, whichever one you are on. The Superfood diet is a good one. Mega nutrients for sure. Flooding your system with different nutrients from multiple sources...
You might look into some of the chinese stuff. Some of it has been around for thousands of years and they still use it
My problem is there are just so many thing that I react too, including nutritious foods. Def have to ditch dairy, anything with nitrates, gluten, even some fruits and veggies.Quote:

I know anything warm right now would worsen this flare. You are right though on the movement. I will have to tone it down again at the gym till this passes.:(. Yoga would actually be the ideal thing for me I just havent got my ass to the place to start triyng it. My labs did indicate that my boy is not really acidic but anything can improve. What it did show is a high creatinine but the BUN is normal. I am not surprise by the number beacsue I think it correlates with my ankle pain and swelling as well as my legs in general.Quote:

I agree that exercise in the water is so very beneficial to the body
they suck ass as we know for sure. i say take it if you have to but only every now and then. i refuse to take anything at all daily and only when i absoltuely feel like i am about to die or i havent slept in days. i can make a 30 day supply of my meds last for 6-8 months hahaQuote:
