post-operative pain is not relieved by drugs .what are the other methods to relieve this kind of pain
I am awaiting results of ultra-sound scan, it will be either surgery or physiotherapy. Meanwhile I want to keep off drugs.
What drugs are available when Methadone ceases to be effective? Is surgery the only option left when it concerns degenertive disc disorder? If surgery is indeed the answer, if so how effective has it been?
I have psoriasis and been diadnosed with psoriatic arthritis and it really killling my back and neck the doctors here only prescribe drugs which i dont want, is there any other way to get by with no pain?
What does that have to do with car accidents and degenerated vertebrae and other areas of pain?
I have been desparate enough to be willing to be put on a mental pill, but that didn't work out, and a lot of physical pain can cause depression and frustration. And the pain has been bad enough I have thought about being willing to try again. I have also been diagnosed in the past with depression.
Why are they not also asking other questions like all of my history, especially history related to what drugs I should not be on for medical reasons (physical contraindications such as blood pressure, heart and liver, and drug interactions)?
And why doesn't the physical therapist and the physicians who will or have seen me more often not require All this same information? But 2 physicians do have a history of me on file, just not the same way (I have to fill pages of permission and names of people out for information to be transferred to this place and it's tedious).
Do you feel pain in your hand or shoulder when lifting a bag? Do you feel pain in your hip when bending down to look for your other brown boot under the bed? If so, you could be suffering from osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is just one form of arthritis. And it's the most common too. It goes by other names as well, including: degenerative arthritis, OA, wear-and-tear arthritis and osteoarthrosis. This disease can affect any joint in your body. However, it usually affects the knees, hips, back and hands.
This joint disease can be caused by a number of things. It can be because of obesity, trauma, heredity and age. It may also be due to repeated use of a body part. Osteoarthritis happens when the cartilage - a connective tissue functioning as the joint's protective pads - becomes worn out. Pain and swelling is experienced in the affected areas. Because of this, the normal range of motion may become limited.
If you think you're suffering from osteoarthritis, it's important to consult with your doctor immediately. Based on the result of your physical examination, a treatment course will have to be designed. Mild to moderate cases of the disease may benefit from the following approaches in easing the signs and symptoms.
It's not unlikely for medications to be prescribed. Analgesic has to be taken for pain. While for swelling, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, are usually given. For severe cases, there are also medications administered through injection.
As mentioned earlier, obesity can be a causative factor. If such is your case, then it's important for you to shed off unnecessary pounds. Adapting a particular diet recommended by your doctor will help you lose weight, thus relieving excessive pressure on your joints. Such diet will also exclude foods that may worsen the condition.
Mild exercises also help in alleviating the pain and improving your limited range of motion. Which exercises to perform should come from an occupational or physical therapist. Performing the right exercises will help strengthen the bones and muscles. It will also help in increasing the flexibility of the affected joints.
Supplements, such as Kirkland glucosamine tablets, will help in slowing down the deterioration of cartilage. Glucosamine is naturally produced by the body. But its production tends to slow down with age. Other supplements may include ingredients such as chrondroitin, omega-3 fatty acids, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
If your osteoarthritis is mild, the above remedies might help you lead a normal life once more. In no time, you'll be back doing your usual activities, like playing your ibanez acoustic electric guitar. However, for severe cases, undergoing surgery may be necessary to relieve the pain or damage.
I have an appointment next week with the Pain Management Center at my local hospital. I am worried they are just going to tell me to go get massages etc but I don't have insurance right now (lost my job). What can I expect in terms of tests and such? So far nothing has worked except opiates, but I would rather have relief without the bias against drugs.
