Does anyone know any good pain relief methods - without using any type of drugs?!
Question: Does anyone know any good pain relief methods - without using any type of drugs.?
In May I was in a car accident and basically broke everything on the right side, from my hip down [hip, knee, leg, ankle and foot]. I ended up getting a partial hip replacement and an ankle replacement. The only thing that really still bothers me is the ankle.
Right now my ankle is aching. When I bend my toes, the pain shoots up my foot. I have a lot of pain medications, none of which I take - with the kids around I'd rather not be drugged out of my head =]. I can't find a position where my ankle isn't hurting or I'm not uncomfortable.
Any suggestions on how I could stop the pain.? Or possibly dull it enough to get comfortable.?
Thanks! Health Question & Answer

Simply position yourself with your legs stretched out in front of you if your ankle hurts that badly, but remember to keep a straight back.
I'm really sorry about the car accident.

you might want to take a look at homeopathic remedies - one in particular is called Arnica, and it comes in small white pills that you put under the tongue, and it also is available as a cream that you can rub into areas where there is pain. You can get it in some health food stores and natural food markets, or Whole Foods
