Titanium Pain Relief

Titanium shoulders on both sides w/ much pain. Any pain relief advice?

Taking Vicaden but wonder what others may do for chronic pain... Both shoulders are working but the limitations are on my range. Lateral rotation mainly as they both broke at the same time and I could not use one to assist the other in recovery. Just looking to see what others with chronic pain do...My doctor said to stop doing what I do that makes them hurt. With twin 11 year old boys and a 13 year old daughter, just living my life normally makes them hurt! HELP PLEASE! : )

Hi~
I am so sorry to hear that you are dealing with such a painful situation. I have four children myself and the twins were last of course. They are only fifteen months younger than my middle child so it was very much like having triplets.

I decided to respond to your post for a couple of reasons. One, I identify with dealing with chronic pain and fullfilling your role as a parent and I identify with having doctors that make statements such as yours did. Can you believe my doctor told me the very same thing last month when I asked for medication for breakthrough pain so that I could travel across the country seeking medical advise from specialists in my condition? The only reason he gave me the back up/break through medication was because of the stress and strain of the travel and the rigors of the testing that had been scheduled. I was appaled at first but upon returning from my trip, my mind has changed considerably.

My doctor was showing true concern for me and doing his due diligence to ensure that I do not become addicted to pain medication or hurt myself becuase I am exceeding my limitations because I did not feel the pain. Which is exactly what I did and I suffered tremendously upon my return. I was completely bedridden for fourteen days and I am just now recovering.

I really don't have any idea or information about your condition in order to try to give you any adivce. You said that your condition is Chronic, but you did not say how long it has been since surgery. Are you in physical therapy? Does your doctor expect your condition to improve or is there any nerve damage or any reason to believe that your pain condition will be long term?

Vicodene is a short acting pain releiver and works best when you take it on a regular schedule before your pain worsens. If you wait until you are in pain to take it, you will be chasing the pain instead of manageing it. I suspect that you are trying to overdo it and it would be very wise to relax and give your body the opportunity to heal. Ice packs for inflammation and warm compresses for deep aches are really good and something that you could do three or four times a day. I hope that you are in physical therapy and if not, try to arrainge some or seek a good massage therapist.

I believe that your children are at the perfect age for you to begin to allow them to take on as much responsibility as they are capable of. Probably more than you would like to ask them to do but it will make them better people if they learn to have compassion for you and learn life skills that they will need to make it through life. They should be maintaining basically every household chore with your direction and learning to prepare meals everyday. You could use this opportunity to teach them laundry skills, shopping skills and on and on. They may not like it now but they will love you for it one day.

I know that I am going on and on and I may be heading in the wrong direction because I don't know anything about you, but if anything rings true, respond back and I would be happy to discuss this with you more.

I wish you the best.

Eliminate your Dental Woes With Dental Implants

Every one loves to smile and it can be with a reason or without a reason. But not many people are lucky to have that perfect smile as they suffer from various dental conditions and periodontal diseases. However, this state reflects not only the prevalence of the disease, but also the need and availability of adequate professional services. In fact, the answers to all these dental woes are dental implants. With the help of dental implants, one can achieve good oral health, but this is possibly only if diagnosed and rectified earlier.

A frequent and regular dental check up and through awareness can lead to a good dental hygiene. In fact, tooth loss can actually affect a person's psychological, social, and physical health. But with the help of dental implants, the problems like limitations in speech and chewing can be rectified. Moreover missing teeth are also associated with old age, and edentulism can make one look older than he or she actually is. Well, implants can dramatically improve a smile and even the appearance and shape of the face. Thus these implants enhance the dental hygiene and also boosts one’s self esteem by tons. Or one can say that they are essential for the health of gum and jaw tissues so that they can prevent further damage to the teeth. Well one can also add that dental care has become the need of the day.

With the introduction of dental implants, the pain of going through the uncomfortable restoration service has been eliminated to a great extent. The implants are permanent solutions and are considered as permanent replacements with natural look and perfect functionality. These implants are aesthetic and provide relief to the wearer, as he or she feels confident all the time. And if these are taken good care of with regular oral hygiene habits, then they tend to last longer and in some cases even for a lifetime. The dental implants are a major investment; and the procedure can be time consuming. If one has to compare them with dentures, then implants will win hands down because of their functionality. One can say that they are the ideal solution for replacing teeth without the disadvantages of fixed bridges or removable dentures. In fact, they do not even affect the adjacent teeth. That means one does not have to go through grinding or crowning and even no clasps are required for removable partial dentures.

Dental implants stimulate the jawbone with each bite and also preserve them. They are easy to clean unlike a bridge, and cannot be affected by dental caries at all. Moreover, the other advantages are support to the full upper or lower dentures. However, there are varieties of implants available in the market today, such as titanium and zinc dental implants with regular and small diameters. Titanium implants are an instant hit and are accepted by the patients and orthodontists. Hence, do not wait and seek an appointment with a dentist who can help you fix your dental woes and you become a new person with that engaging smile.

Knee Pain Relief : Sports Knee Braces & Ligament Injuries - Do You Want to Survive Your Knee Pain?

Has your knee pain driven you to find answers?

Are you looking for a way to survive the current knee pain issues that you are having?

This is an extreme scenario but maybe you can relate.

If you have recently had a knee incident you may be concerned that you have torn an important ligament? Given a choice, this is a bad dream that you would like to avoid.

If you enjoy participating in sports or just want to walk and run normally, but your knee pain is causing you to have a real problem then we suggest you read on...

One of the most common knee injuries that athletes experience is in the tearing of the ligaments that surround and support the knee. This can be a tear to the ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL; each of these ligaments provide support. The incidental use of the word "ouch" would not describe the way you feel when something like this happens. These kinds of knee injuries can be very painful and the stability of your knee can be compromised without the strength of these ligaments.

There are 3 different levels of severity that doctors use to determine how serious your knee injury is:

Level One - There is no laxity or give in the ligaments of the knee. This indicates that there are only a few ligaments that are actually stretched / insulted around the knee.

Level Two - There is moderate laxity or give in the ligaments of the knee, which means that there are some fibers of the ligament that are torn but not all of them in the knee are torn.

Level Three - There is a complete give in the ligaments of the knee when there is stress placed on the area. This means that most likely all of the fibers in the ligament are torn and there is a significant injury that has taken place.

Depending on how bad your knee ligaments are injured, there are different treatment plans that your physician may recommend to you. Whatever level of knee injury you have, wearing a knee brace can be one of the best ways for you to help protect your knee and its structural integrity. As you can already think to yourself that it probably would be wise, to look back six months from now, wondering what you should have done differently. If you are having knee discomfort you should do something proactive to help protect yourself.

What is Alternative Pain Relief?

Western medicine relies primarily on pharmaceuticals to alleviate pain, but in some cases this isn’t effective, interferes with other treatments or causes unpleasant side effects.  Alternative pain relief is then sought – but what is exactly defines alternative pain relief?  There are several different options you can look into.  What may surprise you is that many of these aren’t new at all, but are based on techniques that have been practiced in other cultures for thousands of years.

Acupuncture is the use of hair-thin needles inserted into the skin at strategic points on the body to stimulate the “qi” or the energy flow along certain meridians in order to trigger pain relief and immune system response.  Among the changes the body goes through during acupuncture are increased blood flow, stimulation of the central nervous system, biochemical changes at the cellular level and the release of endorphins.  Acupuncture is particularly good for treating chronic pain, although it will usually take between five and ten sessions before you see real results.  It is sometimes covered by insurance, but not always, so it can be expensive to get acupuncture treatments.  Be sure to get this form of alternative pain relief from a licensed acupuncture practitioner.  Some people are averse to acupuncture because, although the needles are extremely thin and virtually painless, they can’t overcome their fear of needles.  You must also visit an acupuncturist at regularly scheduled times and assume about an hour for each session.

Physical Therapy can help reduce pain for some people, although most will go through a period of time when they feel worse before they begin to feel better.  This is simply because they have to push themselves physically to get their bodies to perform tasks they probably haven’t done in quite some time in order to stretch and retrain the muscles and tendons and become limber again.  Keep in mind that physical therapy should be done only under the supervision of a doctor and professional physical therapist.  Physical therapy is most effective for alternative pain relief in cases where the pain is related to improper movement and alignments, in which case the physical therapy can retrain individuals to move properly and help them stretch and strengthen their muscles.

Electric Stimulation involves using electric current to stimulate particular nerve groups to relieve pain.   The most common form of this is the use of a TENS unit (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation unit).  The TENS unit is a battery operated device that is attached by small electrodes to the skin near the painful area.  Low-voltage current stimulates the nerves in the area and sends pulsating signals to the brain that essentially scramble the normal pain signals.  The feeling is reported by most patients to be a rather pleasant tingling, massage-like feeling during the treatment, although the pain relieving effect can last for hours after treatment.  You must have a prescription from your doctor for a TENS unit, so talk to her to see if this alternative pain relief option might work for you. 

Biofeedback uses the power of your own mind to control your body.  By using relaxation techniques, you can learn to lower your blood pressure, increase blood circulation and release and relax tight, cramped muscles to encourage pain relief.  Biofeedback needs to be learned from a professional, usually a licensed therapist, and takes several sessions to learn effectively.  It is most effective for stress-related pain such as tension headaches and neck, back and shoulder pain that has become chronic in nature.  There is also currently work being done with biofeedback and migraine pain.

Homeopathic Medicine is one of the more controversial methods of alternative pain relief, but has been proven effective in some cases.  Based on the principle of “like cures like,” homeopathic medicines uses minute amounts of substances in very dilute quantities that cause the same symptoms as the original illness or symptom itself so that the body will be triggered into initiating self-healing responses.  Because the active ingredients are diluted, there are no side effects; however, you will sometimes feel slightly worse before you feel better.  This indicates that your body is responding to the treatment and is preparing to begin the healing response.  Homeopathic medicine is not covered by health insurance, but it is inexpensive and doesn’t require a prescription, so you can find it at many natural remedy stores and health food stores.

Magnetic Pain Relief is becoming quite popular as an alternative pain relief method.  Medical-grade magnets are placed over painful areas of the body where they act on abnormally firing nerve fibers that produce the dull, aching sensation associated with chronic pain.  The magnets block the pain signal by disrupting the sodium and potassium ions, returning neurons in the affected nerve fibers to latency.   Magnetic therapy has several advantages, including their ease of use.  You can apply the magnets to your skin and leave them in place for hours, going about your daily routine without being aware that they are even there.  They are small, comfortable and can be worn easily under clothing.   Although they aren’t covered by insurance, they are relatively inexpensive and reusable, making them inexpensive.  The pain relief of magnetic therapy is almost immediate – in most cases, you’ll feel it within five minutes of applying the magnets to the affected area.  There are also no side effects to magnetic pain relief – you simply apply them to your body and forget them.

With so many alternative pain relief options, you should carefully research and find the one that works best for you.  Soon your chronic pain will be a thing of the past.

The Sports Jewelry Craze

Most of us have seen athletes-both professionals and amateurs in our own neighborhoods-wearing Phiten sports jewelry like bracelets and necklaces. Even players on the MLB teams are sporting them these days. So what's the deal? Are they just a fashion craze or do they really live up to the hype about them?

What are the Facts about Phiten Jewelry?

The new sports necklaces that are creating such a buzz of excitement have been available for several years. What caused this recent spike in popularity? The primary reason for the sudden popularity is that more recently some well recognized professional athletes have started endorsing these products. The fans have quickly jumped aboard the bandwagon and this has created a big demand for these fashionable accessories.

Why Wear Sports Necklaces?

Today it seems as though everyone from professional baseball players to weekend golfers are now using these products. But what is the attraction? And why are so many professional sportspeople choosing to make a metallic based necklace a standard part of their athletic uniform? It appears that large numbers of individuals want to see if they can really reduce neck and shoulder pain by simply wearing a lightweight piece of jewelry that has magnetic properties.

Sports necklaces and bracelets were originally designed for athletes to wear during their practices and competitions. The manufacturer went on record with a grocery list of positive results that they attributed to these products. According to the producer's claims, the people who wear these sports necklaces and bracelets will reap a variety of health related benefits.

Magnetic Energy ?

These necklaces are made from either cloth fabric or Silicon. Inside these materials is a small amount of metal that has been impregnated with Titanium. The small amounts of Titanium is credited with restoring harmonious balance and positive energy to the wearer of the jewelry. Some people attribute positive results from wearing jewelry or items containing Titanium or copper. There is no real scientific proof that this hypothesis even works, and there are millions of individuals who are willing to put the theory to a personal test.

Supposed Benefits of Wearing Phiten Jewelry

According to the advertising literature the benefits of wearing a sports necklace includes increased energy levels, better athletic performance, and less fatigue. Yet there are supposedly even more health benefits. An additional benefit of wearing one of these products is that the person should also have less aches and pains overall. Supposedly even arthritis related complaints will diminish. No wonder there has been a clamor for these items recently.

Sports necklaces and bracelets are designed to deliver pain relief and maximize an individual's playing performance. They are marketed as a safe and effective form of alternative medicine that can relieve minor aches and pains and also increase a person's stamina and strength. It is amazing how many professional sports players are seen wearing this jewelry both on and off the playing field. It's only natural the fans would start trying them out for the very same reasons. After all, if a person can reduce neck and shoulder pain just by wearing a necklace -who would not want to do it?

The Boston Red Sox baseball team has been wearing various sports bracelets and necklaces for many months. Their World Series championship speaks for itself. Several baseball players have made statements that they believe that these products are positively helping them.

They have said that they have better performance as well as less muscle pain when they wear Phiten bracelets or necklaces. Now anyone with aches and pains may be considering trying out these products to see if they work for them. They figure that if pro athletes are wearing these necklaces that there must be some truth to the claims that are being made.

Unfounded Claims

According to the manufacturer of these products there is an explanation for the way the necklace works. They call it the ETS, or Energy Transport System. Sports necklaces are made of material that is able to boost the body's energy and increase cellular efficiency and physical performance. This ETS is also responsible for minimizing muscular or skeletal aches and pains, balancing energy and reducing stress.

The Real Explanation

Of course you should remember that is only a theory. The explanation being proffered by the company has no scientific proof to back it up. Perhaps the real reason for any perceived benefits wearers experience is the power of positive thinking. On the other hand, if they work you, considering how affordable they are - does it matter?

3 Tips For Buying A Magnetic Necklace

For pain relief in the upper body and head, a magnetic necklace is a common choice. A common dilemma, however, among those looking to buy is how to choose one. Here are 3 tips to use when buying magnetic jewelry for your neck.

Whether you're buying for it pain therapy or for just plain looks, you'll need to know several things about choosing a magnetic necklace. First, you'll want to be familiar with the types of necklaces and how they are designed to be worn. Second, you'll need to know about the differences in quality. Not only is the quality of the craftsmanship important, but also the strength and quality of the magnets themselves. Lastly, you'll want to understand how the differences in magnetic necklaces fits your style.

1. The right type of necklace - There are a few styles of magnetic necklaces, so you'll want to make sure you get the right one for you. First, is the lariat. Lariat necklaces have no clasp, and wrap around your neck using the magnets in them to stay fastened. Lariats, also called "wraps" or "snakes," are usually 36 or 37 inches, and can be worn in several different ways around the neck.

They can wrap a full turn, or less than a full turn around the neck. When worn this way the remainder of the beads hang below the neck, usually with the two sides joined in a straight line. They can wrap more than one full turn around the neck with a remainder, or they can coil around the neck like a collar. They can also be worn around the wrist or ankle, although they will obviously coil more times. Because of their length, these typically have the most magnets of any type of necklace.

Unlike the lariat, the other types of magnetic necklaces are more like traditional necklaces with a clasp. The difference, of course, is that the clasp is usually magnetic. These necklaces can be made in different sizes, so be sure to get the right size for you. You'll find these necklaces plain, or with charms that are sometimes magnetic as well. A hematite cross is a popular magnetic charm.

You'll find both the lariats and the traditional shape magnetic necklaces with or without accent beads. These accent beads can be magnetic hematite beads, or some type of non-magnetic bead. Higher quality necklaces will sport accents such as hematite, freshwater pearls, or semi-precious stones in turquoise, cherry quartz, or agate. These necklaces are more expensive, and also usually have stronger, higher quality magnets. Be alert that the better lariats will have as many as 48 high powered magnets.

2. Quality - There are two aspects to the quality. The first is the craftsmanship, and the second is the quality of materials used. As I've mentioned, higher quality necklaces usually use higher quality accent beads, and more powerful magnets. If you're interested in pain relief, powerful magnets are a must. Watch out for lesser quality products.

A high quality maker of magnetic jewelry will choose stronger magnets, and higher quality accents. Look for a craftsperson who creates custom-made designs in magnetic jewelry, rather than one of the mass-produced pieces. These custom pieces will more than likely be using higher powered magnets and materials.

3. Style - You'll have to weigh all these differences against your personal style. Some people love the versatility of the lariat, while others prefer a more traditional look. Some enjoy the elegance and color of semi-precious stones, while others prefer the clean high-tech look of the polished black hematite. Cloisonne, lady bugs, and seasonal beads are very popular.

If you weren't familiar with the ins and outs of magnetic necklace buying, I hope this primer has you up to speed. Choosing the right type of necklace is important, especially for pain relief purposes. You'll have to decide whether you like the flexibility of the lariat, or the look of the traditional style.

You'll also want to ensure that your necklace has the quality to last. In addition, you'll need it to have the right number of high powered magnets if you're wearing it for therapy purposes. Once you've got those concerns taken care of, buying to match your style is your key to long lasting enjoyment.
