I’d be super interested in hearing about anyone’s go-to products for getting these wild migraines under control when they decide to strike. I was recently introduced to these cooling patches that adhere to your forehead and while it was a bit relieving, I found that they warmed up way too quickly. I’m not sure which brand I had tried– just…Read More

@eclecticzebra I hadn’t actually considered making one– do you happen to know about the water/alcohol ratio? I figured alcohol would make things burn-y but I am intrigued because this sounds cheaper!

I *think* it was 2:1 water: alcohol I had to mold them a bit (she had screws placed in her hips-needed it more solid) so I had to make it thick- the more alcohol, the more pliable it will be. It’s not an exact science and easy to adjust if you need it less pliable. You can use booze too but gah! what a waste LOL Food coloring and glitter makes…Read More

I am here to tell you that for 41 years I have been fighting chronic pain. 40 years of bs ,I have come to understand that it was my insurance that got me 360+ doctors 😐 I am here to tell you that I Medicare doesn’t pay as well as pricing is dubiously cheap.

@christian-reuther Welcome to Pain Resource– you’ve found a really great community and we are happy that you found us. I am sorry to hear that; I have heard it can be a difficult transition between the two.

FANTASTIC article! I love aromatherapy– as a longtime migraine-sufferer, I learned the value in this early on.

I can’t believe I just realized we are about to kick off grilling season! I bought a fancy little Kamado Joe back in January and I’m in LOVE. What a helpful article.

ugh, my dreaded season with the meat fumes-still gonna rock some BBQs though! 🙁 Always potluck, always! ALWAYS take the time to sit down and forget that nagging feeling you have to do it all. Everything always works out in the end.

My husband suffers from Chronic Pain due to Acute Osteo-Arthritis and degenerative disc disease. I have been researching TENS units and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

@lilbrightone I’d definitely ask his doctor first of course, but there are a LOT of highly-rated TENS units available on Amazon! I personally had a great experience using them in the past for my back and shoulder pain that I experienced after a car wreck. I hope that helps!

If you have insurance it would be covered for sure but your options may more more limited. The one I have literally sitting in front of me at the moment is a POHAKU model AS8012 -I do like it, it’s small, portable, gives you options of pad sizes and a huge array of settings for pulses as well as low to high strength and timer. It’s small,…Read More

Red light therapy is one thing that has helped me heal to the point where I am currently (far from wonderful but I’m no longer bed bound) . It has been eons but at PT they used it and it felt like it was the most effective treatment for my pain at the time. I’m sure they have home devices either OTC or even a prescription and insurance route would…Read More

Don’t forget stretching. I have the same plus djd. I like dry needling. It really helps with the pain in the muscles and better movement. Also help with sciatica.

@christymurray ABSOLUTELY! I can always tell the days I haven’t stretched enough.

Have you tried making one? (alcohol+water) Had to make huge ones after my Little had surgery years ago -they lasted a few hours, which to me seemed like a long time. I had wrapped them in those cooling towels that you snap to start them cooling again. The more water the harder it freezes, alcohol keeps it slushy (doesn’t freeze) Maybe you could…Read More
