Pain Killers ?

[Taupotreeman]

And when I smoked the green stuff I did find that was an awesome pain killer and muscle relaxant but it just didn't mix with the job next day.

No blade brake on a circular saw, could argue they are more dangerous than top handle chain saws.

It would be interesting to see the amount of injuries caused by circular saws.

A friend of mine lost 1.5 fingers to one a couple of years ago, he'd just bought himself a fancy folk music whistle as well and now can't cover the holes.

 

I have cervical spondylosis and tried all the painkillers but they did my stomach no good at all and I am better of living with the pain than all the side effects of the medicines.

I've had tennis elbow the past year now and I'm only 18. Never played tennis or golf in my life. Can be a right pain sometimes.

52 years of hard sport, broken bones, drystone walling and hedge laying in the worst of weathers plus years of driving or sat a puter for 14 hours a day and most recently gardening 9 hrs a day has taken its toll. But I don't touch any ibu, tamasa or other chems. I use breathing, linament and deep hot baths to kill it off and it works for me.

As a Bee keeper I've found a spoon of honey works on colds and also on cuts and grazes and little bit of propolis works when I feel a little run down.

Sorry guys if this sounds a little herbie but it works for me. As I type my hands are wrapped in bandage with linament on my wrists to ease the pain and its great.

Ps the home made brandy and damson gin also kills the pain:sneaky2:

Yup bee keepers try to get stung as much as possible. Bee stings are cool for clearing circulation, building heart immunities and for killing off threats from Arthur.itis,

40's now myself and recently damaged tendons where they fix into the bone in elbow. A&E said sling for two days and Ibuprofen for two weeks to reduce swelling whilst resting so i went back after a week pumped full of Diclofenac potassium which like all pain killers only mask the pain which is the body's natural way of telling you to stop.

 

Back to not being able to pick up a coffee cup so more Diclofenac to get through the day because 'don't work don't earn' and back to before day one.

 

Going insane through frustration of not working and customers stacking up so back to work on Diclofenac and now done tendons between elbow and tricep as well and starting to worry.

 

I know where this is going:sneaky2:

Back in the UK I had bad sciatica in my right leg for years, (bad, as in being stabbed bad), my social life involved laying face down on the floor groaning , as it got worse I was taking 4 ibuprofen every 2 hours to get through work. Went to the doctors and they put me on diclofenac and Cocodamol. Tried acupuncture, massage, chiro, physio and nothing helped for more than a day tops. Fun.

When I moved to Aus I saw a bloke who teaches Egoscue and Foundation Training, my problems were caused by 1. Being right side dominant to the point where it was causing major muscle imbalance and all the stresses that causes and 2. By not using my back muscles properly. We are told these days to make our stomachs and core stronger to support our backs and this is horsecrap! Your back muscles need to be stronger. Our backs are designed by nature to support our upper bodies and with our glutes and hamstrings are the most important muscles. Bending your back when lifting is a guaranteed way to hurt yourself badly, the spine is not a structural support and must be kept straight(allowing for the two natural curves, but they take care of themselves) and this is where the the back muscles come in. The muscles do the work and take the weight, not the spine. The glutes and hamstrings are there to lift the upper body. Eg, when you bend over and hinge at the hips with your weight in your heels(not toes) and a straight back then the glutes, hamstrings and back muscles take all the strain, the spine is extended and doesn't take weight, THIS IS HOW YOU ARE DESIGNED! If you bend over by bending your back then the weight of your upper body PLUS whatever you are lifting is put straight into your spine with no proper support from the muscles, this causes slipped/bulging discs, pinched nerves, blown vertebrae and God knows what else.

Watch how a heavy weight lifter bends and lifts, or even a toddler picks up a toy, weight in heels and back straight and lift!

 

Your back muscles basically go from the feet to the top of your head as they're all interlinked. Not using them as designed can cause, foot pain, cramp, tight calves and hamstrings, butt pain, stuff hips, sciatica, hypertension, shoulder pain, stuff neck, head aches and more, that's just what I've had. Oh and I'm taller now.

The creator of Foundation Training (Dr Eric Goodman) blew 4 or 5 vertebrae and was told he needed permanent fusion surgery, he refused now has a very physically active life without surgery just by changing the way he moved, it's on YouTube and it's very effective for athletes to office workers and everyone inbetween.

A lot of people with blown discs don't know as there aren't always symptoms.

I refuse to use painkillers of any kind any more.

Hope this helps someone.

 

Cheers all, Andy
