Re: What to do for pain

[dreemyweird]

Ugh... I'm so sorry :(( I used to have pain issues (unbelievably shitty periods) and never really figured out how to manage it. My best advice is:

- peppermint tea;
- something warm (a bottle of hot water?) on the body part that's in pain;
- do something distracting, try not to think about being in pain - watching very absorbing TV shows? Crocheting/doing something equally monotonous that keeps your hands busy?

I have those periods too. Awful. I'm actually also waiting for a referral to a gynecologist for that. And I've taken the vicodin a few times for that (I feel less bad about that since I told my previous doctor about it and they refused to prescribe me anything until I lost weight because of course weight was the only cause of that problem).


The problem with warm is that I'm not sure whether warm or cold is the right thing. I took a really hot bath earlier and it felt better. But for tendenitis I'm not sure whether warm or cold is actually the right thing and I don't want to make things worse.

I've been watching tv all day, which has been a little distracting, but I'm getting really bored stuck in bed which is making it hard to focus on things besides pain.

The mayo clinic says both: "When you're first injured, ice is a better choice than heat. It numbs pain and causes blood vessels to constrict, which helps reduce swelling. Ice is especially helpful for the first three days or so. After that, heat can increase blood flow to an injury, which may help promote healing. Heat also serves as a muscle relaxer, which can help with pain relief."

Otherwise, I'm sorry I can't help you. I take aspirin as my main pain relief, and it pretty much works at all times. This short article has some good ideas and may help - it suggests topical stuff as well as supportive bandaging/wrapping.

Hope you feel better soon!
