Alternatives for pain management
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone tried cryo therapy or medical marijuana for pain management. If you did, how did they/it work?
Thanks

@jfisherly I'm going to try what Eileen says works for her 2-600 mg B complex with 2,Tylenols Maybe I can finally get of the Tramadol ,will see if it helps me
@lioness
I find guarana amazing, it's not like you suddenly get hyperactive or anything and your brain can't settle, for its a steady consistent flow of energy that just helps me do extra things, and feel proud of what I've accomplished, I can then stay awake during the day and not nap, at all, or at very least not sleep as long in the day nap, so I get good quality longer sleep at night. The hemp /cbd oil, also contributes to the longer better quality of sleep too. As we know if we feel very exhausted we can also feel pain so much more.
I drink green teas and fruit teas all the time as an alternative to most people's coffees as I don't like coffee that much these days. Also organic apple cider some juice is really good, however I've not been able to afford it for a few weeks. But I'll get some back soon.

2 ReactionsMay I ask what is guarana ?
I must have missed something about pickle juice. I do enjoy dill pickles and the juice. I use one that is low salt and no GMO's. I am mostly a water person. I did purchase some CBD oil and I did sleep some better last night. I can no longer use ginger root as it causes pins and needles. Turmeric tea is hard to find w/o ginger. We are all different in what helps. Looking at my little flower garden helps me. The Day Lilies are almost finished for this season. 🙁

1 Reaction@lioness Thank you. I take magnesium w/ D3 as well as calcium. I am happy you enjoy the media I at times add. I take photos in my secret garden and use them for reference in the winter. The flowers help give me rest and relaxation. My favorite time is early morning with a cuppa on my patio.

2 ReactionsHi Gail I am currently on day one of no tram. After many many years.
After being rx tram years ago for cervical disc herniation and stenosis I found myself addicted.
At the worst it was 1000 mg daily
Now after two weeks my last team was 300 mg yesterday.
This am I took 12 mg hydrocodone and 20 mg of sativa edible.
I want off all this junk in my heart then my head starts panicking ( its hard to think of how to live off the tramadol when you taken it for years ) I don’t know what life looks like without it if that make sense.
But I want to b DONE BUT THE W/d scare me to death. I know the hydro is just delaying w/d but if I could find someway to curb the psy w/d of tram ( the anxiety rls hot cold flash and insomnia) even just by 50% or so I think I can do it
I have to b able to function during the day since I have family, and nobody really know what I’m going through
So any words of advise etc. would be a god send .

2 Reactions@pschoen, am I correct in assuming that your PCP is in charge of this effort on your part? I hope he is aware of your situation and is advising you accordingly. He is your best source, I would think, in a planned reduction or elimination of Tramadol. Obviously I cannot give you medical advice, as I couldn't even pass chemistry in college. ( There's a story behind that. But I will save it for later.) But, having done volunteer work in a treatment facility working with rehab patients, there are a few tricks that might help things along. First, drink lots of pure, filtered water. Or if you choose to, you could try the bottled electrolyte water. It won't save the planet, but it is awesome for your body. Second, walk in the fresh air with the sun on your face. Do this for at least fifteen minutes for starters. You can always do more as your strength builds up. The endorphins will help you feel so much better. These are natural substances that your own body produces Third, if you can handle the natural sugars found in fruit juice, now is the time to drink freely of them. Better yet, alternate drinking juice with eating the whole fruit. Better for us anyway. Snack on almonds and cashews, sunflower seeds, if your diet can tolerate it. Make sure you take proper vitamins and minerals. Oh, there are so many things. heating pads, of course. Ice packs. I take Mobic when I have overdone things, or I have a flare. I will be praying for you! Healing is hard work. But it is so worth it! Hope to hear from you. Love and light,
Mamacita
