Life With My Pet Back

I’m sure you’ve noticed that, as you’ve become a little older, you’ve got all sorts of aches and pains in places you didn’t have when you were younger.  I know I have, and it’s sort of worrying to think about it! You’re likely wondering if that grinding in your knees as you walk down the stairs is a cause for concern – or if the weakened grip as you try to open a jar is normal -- and possibly an early sign of Arthritis.    My Mum had two types of arthritis and I watched her go through so much pain and felt so helpless. I wanted to do something to help her so much but I did not have the knowledge. She had medications from the doctors but they never seemed to totally take away the pain and of course, had side effects she had to deal with too. As my Mum had arthritis I am now taking even more care and keeping an eye on my body and watching out for any early signs of arthritis. If like me you are wanting to look after your body and maybe have some concerns o...

How To Lose The Neck Pain . This discusses ways to manage and ease neck pain. Do you have a stiff, aching or painful neck and shoulders, neck and/or back pain?     If you have neck pain you will know how it can be very debilitating. Neck pain can range from a mild niggle from a little tension or having slept awkwardly, to a serious continuous neck pain that can have a major impact on your life. Often it is invisible to other people and therefore people just do not know or understand what pain you can be going through. If you have back issues you may well find that you also gain neck pain as your whole body tries to compensate and becomes thrown out of balance. "I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal.

Arthritis is close to my heart as my Mum suffered with it for years.....Normally I don't use the word "suffered " for any illness or condition as I feel it is a victim type mentality and not powerful and we need to be powerful to tackle pain. However, having watched my Mum in so much pain for so long and her drs not really being able to help her that much I know she did suffer... So when I come across anything that might be helpful to people going through the pain of arthritis , I feel its important to share it as who knows if it might be the thing to make a difference !     Most of all do get a copy of the    Arthritis Reversed book.  Reverse arthritis?? Really ?  Yes it does seem a big claim but the people recommending this book are the same guys that helped me so much with my back and sciatic pain that Drs said I would have to "live with back and sciatic pain or have surgery".  I followed their back pain system with support and I never...

Degenerative Disc Disease!! When I was told I had that I felt sick to my stomach. I knew I had Sciatica and back pain , I did not know I had an Actual disease!! Well after I did some of my own research turns out that Degenerative Disc Disease is in fact not a disease at all. Degenerative Disc Disease, often known as DDD , is a natural part of getting older. It happens. It is not contagious or of risk to anyone else. With time everyone experiences some changes in their discs. Some people will get symptoms associated with that process, others will not. It showed up on my MRI scan quite clearly that I had DDD in my L4/5 and L5/S1 discs which showed up black on the scan results and a narrower space than the other discs. DDD is where the gel type substance in the discs dries out. The discs over time, lose their shock absortion role and become more stiff. In addition the ligaments around the disc tend to become brittle which leaves them at risk of tears. Degenerative disc disease is ...

Whenever I hear about new things which may help you I like to post them here. I have been told recently about this product "Rub on Relief" which I think is worth spending a little time on. Now I don't think a pain relief cream alone can cure all types of back and sciatic pain though it may help you to cope better. If it can ease pain long enough for you to sleep, rest and work on your stretching and strengthening exercises etc most importantly -without side effects- that is a good step towards recovery. I could not take any pain relievers during my back pain due to the powerful and very unpleasant side effects I experienced so I dealt with pain 24/7 and suffered lack of sleep and various degrees of pain night and day, and had to progress slowly with my exercise and stetching rehab. Maybe a cream like this would have given me some much needed relief...for which I would have been so very grateful and allowed faster progress.... Please read the information below and ...
