Pain Killers Aren't The Only Answer
Pain is something that most of us dread, but pain often serves a useful purpose: it tells us that something is wrong and that we need to do something about it. So that toothache or pain in the back should not be ignored. Unfortunately some medication masks pain rather than treating pain. So, what can you do if you are experiencing pain?
Sometimes the choice is obvious: if you have toothache, you need to visit a dentist. Sometimes it’s less clear. What do you do if you have backache? There are several different choices, including visiting an osteopath, a chiropractor or a sports therapist. Sometimes specific exercises will do the trick. Have a look at the books by Pete Egoscue for simple easy exercises you can do to help alleviate chronic pain.
Sometimes chronic pain responds well to a change in diet. Some people with arthritis find that reducing their meat intake and/or sugar and white flour intake works well. Some pain is caused by allergy problems, so check this out with a kinesiologist.
A recent study on irritable bowel syndrome has shown
that many sufferers are allergic to foods, such as yeast (in bread, alcohol, etc.), wheat, peas, cashew nuts, almonds, barley, beef and soya. Migraine sufferers often do well if they exclude certain trigger foods, such as chocolate, cheese, red wine and citrus fruit.
Drinking lots of water can help. So can eating lots of fruit and vegetables. These are rich in antioxidants, which help keep the joints lubricated and so prevent stiffness. Many people swear by fish oil supplements, or glucosamine sulphate to keep them fit and supple into old age.
Whatever you do, don’t just put up with pain. Have a look at all the possibilities, not just pain killers.
