Releiving Chronic Pain

Those that suffer from Chronic Pain already know that this is something not only doctors and physicians can't always get to the bottom of, but I am one of these sufferers and for myself I have found things that actually work for me. I'm in no way suggesting they will work for everyone but there is a chance that they will.. One in particular has so many different forms of pain and illness that it alleviates very fast and effectively and is in no way harmful or damaging to our bodies, not only that, you can use it for your children and pets too, just vary the dosage to body weight and there you go.. Now this hub is nit a medical diversion, it is also not suggestive to stop any medications a person is on nor to avoid medical attention if required. It is simply for the person who suffers form chronic pain that has no alternative but to try what ever they can to see what will work.

This is often the most common cause for chronic pain and as i said above, I am one of these.. For many years I have worked hard labor on shovels creating footpaths, and digging holes, constant bending while pruning grapevines, straining muscles lifting large weights and then there's the bending over machines working with arms stretched and having to lift items that should be lifted closer to the body in order to avoid muscle strain.. Then there was raising kids, lifting, reaching down, lifting, all those things that the body often forgets the muscles are meant to support but in actual fact, start to deteriorate because they get tired and sore, but yet we carry on regardless.

There are many parents out there, especially mothers that are in this predicament and often they are a single parent.. with no chance of genuine rest to recuperate, the muscles become tired faster making energy levels so low that the self esteem follows. Those that have husbands or partners arriving home after a long day's work, often say nothing about their aches and pains because they feel that they have no right to complain when the 'bread winner' is out working hard all day while they are home with the kids, having heaps of time to themselves.. but we all know too well the pain we suffer that gets worse each day and our partners or husbands have no idea we go through this on a daily and nightly basis, but just smile and keep going.
So, for those reading this, ask yourself or your partner, are you in pain?
What is causing it?
Do you express your pain to your partner or do you keep it to yourself?
Are you aware that you are living with someone who is in chronic pain but always smiles and says "I'm OK!" or when you ask whats wrong, they just say "Nothing, I'm fine.."
Because 9 times out of 10.. this is a prime indication something IS definitely WRONG!

Do you awake in the morning cringing as you climb out of bed because a muscle in your hip or your back or your knee or even you shoulder screamed at you saying, "hey that's hurting me.. ?" When you get dressed, are you finding your balance all up the shoot? Do you have to sit down a lot to put your socks on because pain suddenly strips your muscles of oxygenwhile they themselves are trying to fight the agonizing tremor surging through it's ligaments???

If this is something you feel constantly, day after day and often ALL DAY.. then this is a sign that you either have or are developing Chronic Pain

Think back over the years, what did you do originally to cause this pain?

Did you play sport, had you slammed into a wall somehow a little too hard?
Horse Riders are subject to chronic hip and knee pain as years go on, specifically jockeys but not always either..

For myself, Chronic Pain comes from having the force of my left arm swung across in front of me stripping the muscles off the left side of my spine 6 inches in length, this gives me constant pins and needles when I sit or stand' and affects my neck to a large degree. the vertebra at the base of my skull has that same sound you get when your stuffed knee joints grind as you bend, I'm not sure if other people can hear this, but it's constant and the pain leaves me in tears when i go to sleep. I have to have 3 pillows to support my neck or it dislocates when i sleep, and then i wake with a sore back and have trouble turning in my sleep, so of course i wake up and then manage to eventually turn over, scrunching pillows into my neck and try to fall back to sleep. When i wake in the mornings, it takes a while to get out of bed because my back has been so sore all night from laying down and getting dressed, i can't lift my right leg most days.. I get pins and needles down my left arm when i work at my desk or sit at my computers writing hubs whether funny or serious.
Doctors and Physiotherapists have told me that it will take 10yrs for my muscles to repair themselves IF i stop doing heavy lifting, sit for long periods of time and let my muscles relax..

Yeah right, who is going to do nothing all day? and I mean absolutely nothing?!? Not this kid!
It's notin my nature to sit around all day, when i do, i'm here hoping to make someone laugh or to find something worth my brain's existence to create a hub that will help someone else, and work of course :)

I often help in the community doing volunteer work so of course, i may be doomed for repair but i can at least help someone else to possibly ease their Chronic Pain.. Right?

Regardless of how much pain in am in, when i work out with friends helping the community clean up our damaged city, i chose a shovel for the day, and if i stop, i am in Chronic Pain, but if i keep going right till the end, Most times I am fine..

WHY?

Because the constant movement of muscles helps to create the oxygen needed in order to repair themselves. Our bodies replace cells at the rate of every 7 years, so for people who suffer Chronic Pain from muscular damage, there is hope. For those with degenerative diseases, I know this will be a hard one to find relief for, but anything is worth a try right?

There are days I have to take only a couple of Panadol to ease the pain through my neck, and other days I have to take a Codeine or couple of Nurofen, but there are also days i take nothing at all.. There is a huge reason for this :) I will share this with you shortly..

Although not all things out there are designed to work in the favor of a healthy body and seem to deteriorate our Livers, Hearts, Lungs, Muscles, Bones, And of course, our poor little brains that seem to want the help to fix our bodies, but are starved of real information that will actually stimulate us to do anything about it. Does this sound like you?

Are you concerned that YOUR body is failing because you can't seem to find something that really could alleviate that horrble Chronic Pain that this hub is all about?

I fell across a product by needing to find a solution for one of my horses, she had chronic arthritis in one shoulder but continued exercise seemed to release enough oxygen into her muscles to reduce the inflamatory state she often was in and she moved freely as long as the exercise was regular, but when winter hit and the exercise was at it's minimum, she was in Chronic Pain and often could not get up, so at the age of her young 15yrs, I got searching for something to help her, while i was doing this, I had another youngster that had a heart murmur.. Now this was more important to me as the former was ok, this one could die from it..So, I started searching for something to help one and cure the other and in my findings, I was informed that this product would also help ME!.. Yup.. the exact same thing I was giving them, I could drink myself and so I did. Man within days I felt great, coul dmove more freely, pain was minimised to non existant, I had amazing energy and felt so good that I used to put it into my drink bottle every day, until I ran out, then forgot to buy more and man did I suffer! hugley, the pain increased as time went by and I completely forgot about the one thing that took all the pain away.. Of course I do not know if this works for everyone, but there are many statistics out there to show it's benefits. And I'm sure there are other hubs on this one item too, but how many are written by people who use it personally? Who have felt and benefitted from the very existance of this amazing little product that I'm sure you are dying for me to tell you what it is.. I'm betting even a few of you have even guessed before you got to this segment what it is I use.. Yes I started using it again recently.. and I can assure you, I will be using it for the rest of my life.. I am sooo over pain and not being able to smile because it is so Chronic that it often takes my breath away!
I want to have fun, live freely and laugh with eveyrone else.. So I will get to the point and give you as much informational links as I can so YOU can start finding out if this product can help you too.. PS.. please make sure you read ALL of the 'side affect' issues that can arise with certain medications.. BEFORE you purchase it.

I've never had any side effects, but this is because I'm not on any specific medications, but please make sure for your health and safety that you READ THE WARNINGS if you are on medications or pregnant!
