How do you deal with pain?
I have really bad back pain. With some days being not so bad to other days when it’s really bad. I have a Theragun which I use quite regularly. Paracetamol doesn’t really help. I have also use heat pads, tiger balms and voltarol which help at the time but can’t really be doing that all the time. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have already mentioned the pain to my team, they suggested regular exercise, which I do. But nothing has really help so far. Thanks.
Hi there what helps me is I trying to take a bath or shower to ease the pain which helps at time i asked my doctor for pain meds to ease with the pain so he gave me gabapentin but i also take 2 ibuprofen and one paracetamol at night to help the pain i did double check with my doctor and they said its ok as long as i dont over use it but sounds weried but do try to have a long walk with my dog on Saturday or Sunday if the weather good and by the time i come home im tired which is normal but no back pain its lile my body switch off might not help everyone but helps me its another odd thing ever since i changed my breakfast to wheatbix in the morning i have more energy plus the back pain weaking because im getting this bust of energy which had helped me a lot but it these are my ways of coping it or if you have the time and money you can book yourself a 30 minute back massage and it helps the pain for a day or two .
I take baclofen and zanaflex for a muscle relaxer for pain. I use blue emu cream and epsom salt bath for relief too.
