Pain mgt with a heat rub..works

[worried878]

Got a tube of CAPZASIN-P...hot stuff but no odro like ben-gay...deep and lasts an hour..made with chile peppers...stuff works

also found an acupressure device that really helps trigger points...84 bux on line...called a silver star

Also invested in a infrared heating pad and a small sauna roon that is postable....the pad was right at 100 bux but the sauna room/900 bux with taxes and shipping..a cedar type room about as big as a shower...makes u sweat like a pig to deroxify..helps ur skin and pain level...weight loss and most imoportanly pain! had tried it at my homeopathic doctor but is 40 bux a sitting so i bought my own

I'm going to try the heat rub :) Sounds nice, I like ben-gay, but the smell is absolutely disgusting. It reminds me of how my grama smelled when I was little, lol. I'm glad you've found some things that work for you. I'll have to invest in some of them myself sometime soon! :)

A little piece of trivia...pigs don't sweat. No sweat glands, which is why they like to lay in mud to stay cool. :-)

I too am glad you found alternative measures that have helped your pain. I have tried them all and nothing works for me for very long. Massage works the best as long as my pain is not severe. It helps for about an hour or two and than I'm right back where I started. And when my pain is horrid I can't even stand the pressure of touch.

So I am always happy when someone finds pain relief.  Peace, Tuck

I'm glad you could find something that works. Wouldn't it be nice if Medical Insurance paid for things like that.... . Til then, I guess most of us are stuck with the Meds.....
