Introduction

Skip this section if you don’t want to read about my experience with more pain issues.

I started this post ten days ago.  I thought it would be an easy project.  Then that night I was in the hospital emergency room.  I was admitted to the hospital.  I spent four days there.  And upon release, I was completely wiped out.  This hospitalization had nothing to do with my pain issue.  I am thankful for the wonderful staff that took care of me, especially the nurses.  And I am thankful to learn there is something I can do to avoid this problem in the future.  Having started this website because of pain issues has taught me to be proactive in my care, to listen to my body and to search for solutions.  So, I applied these criteria to this new illness.  But for five days I didn’t feel well enough to work on this post.  Then I got to thinking, I should write a little about the experience in hopes it will help me get back on the saddle and help someone else if they are going through a rough time.

How about you?  You want a better life? What can you do to feel better?  I hope you have read my other articles.  They are all aimed at providing information to help you find some pain relief.  I’d be so happy to know that something I have written here on this website has helped someone.

First, Some Advice

If you’ve read any of my other posts, you know that I am very proactive about my health.  I do all the things we are supposed to do to be healthy.  I watch what I eat, I exercise, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I get plenty of rest, I get enough water by tracking my amounts.  So you can see my philosophy is to take care of myself.  I don’t expect others to do for me what I won’t do for myself.  In fact one of the in home nurses that is coming told me today that she has patients that lie to her and won’t do what they are supposed to do to take care of themselves.  Don’t be that person!  You won’t get better or feel better if you don’t take responsiblity for your health.  So just do it!  Following are some suggestions that have been helpful to me, and I hope will be helpful to you.

  • Don’t go it alone

If you have family or friends to care for you, you are truly fortunate.  If someone offers to do something for you, let them.  It is very fulfilling to provide help to others, so let them help you.  Just be sure to be grateful.  Even if you can do most of your care alone, if you are alone, you need to keep in contact with others.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, community is vital.  We are social creatures created to have communion with others.

  • Get plenty of rest

This is tough for me.  I just realized something new about myself; that I don’t like to be non-productive.  But that has to be balanced with getting rest.  I am listening to my body and having it dictate my efforts.  This also means I don’t push myself like I did before.  This is your body, and you are responsible for taking care of it.  This has to be balanced with people coming to visit though.  So although it is good to have people around, listen to your body if you are tired.

  • Do some stretches

My inactivity in the hospital caused my buttock pain to flare up.  Just today was I able to do some stretches.  I know more than ever the benefits from moving, stretching and exercising.  At this point I am just stretching, but the others will come as I feel stronger.  I have had to modify my stretches because I can’t bear weight on one arm.  But I can still do something.  A good start would be the CD I recommend in this post.

Now My Original Purpose in Writing This Post.

This post discusses some product recommendations that I have either tried or reviewed. Sometimes, when you are hurting all you want is a little comfort. Maybe one or two of these products can help you with that.  They may help you toward a better quality of life.

Product Recommendations

Heat

Natural Pain relief

A heating pad can provide some warmth and comfort as well as easy the pain of sore and achy muscles.  My nerve pain also causes other pain in surrounding areas and a warm pad can help.  It is not only physically comforting to me, but a warm source just comforts me emotionally.  I feel like it’s the closest thing to a hug! ?

Cold

Maybe cold is what you need.   Cold is for recent injuries, or to reduce swelling.  It also reduces pain for a time.

This link will take you to Walmart, which features a gel pack that can be used as a hot pack or a cold pack. If you purchase through this link, I receive a small referral fee.

Maybe a New Bed?

Here is a more expensive item, but one I recommend.  In this post, Take Action to Relieve Pain Naturally, I talk about the need for a good mattress.  This made a huge difference for me.
