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

It really helps me when I'm in emotional or physical pain.

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
