Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 wow I am sorry to haear you are in back pain plus; have the doctors ruled out the things that cause swelling like the lymph system or heart? I will pray for you all day....have you soaked in salt water or epsom salt water?are you using cinnamon,turmeric,cayenne,ginger, or other food things that fight inflammation?sometimes my fingers hurt and I rub vaseline with turmeric on them for a while..sure helps.. carrots and some other foods help pain but I dont know how much...lobelia is a great relaxer...I use it for a little asthma...only take a teeny bit of asthma medicine now...or is that because I am almost hypothyroid [temp been 97 degrees ten yrs] and low metab..[gain weight easy]...I put scullcap in the coffee here and the men dont yell and get angry as much....but I dunno if that helps pain... have you tried warm electric pads or the gel things that get cold in freezer to place on back? I hope things improve for you; I know it is almost impossoble to get up every day with pain...I tool daypro[a prescription med] for a year ,15 yrs ago, and my arthritis went away....maybe because I started eating very little meat... luv Rica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
