<blockquote>I would use plant enzymes such as bromelain and papain instead of the anti-inflammatory drugs. The drugs will cause more arthitis in the long run, decreasing your bodies ability to produce new cartilage cells. Omega-3 fish oils can also take the inflammation down and help with the pain.

I have multiple disk compression and herniation…often i wake up with a bad back ache…anyone got any good remedies that work for them…ill try just about anything to get rid of this pain…i think most is in my muscles from moving due to pain…who knows…Thanks for the replies…Happy 4th..

I would recommend you seek evaluation from a qualified back specialist such as a Chiropractic Physician. Find out what is causing the pain first, then you can address it with conservative care. Use drugs, injections and surgery last.”

i have pretty bad pain in the arches of my feet, but definitley more severe in my right foot. my arches are on the low side, i know that much and i am planning on eventually getting to a doctor. but do you know of any good home remedies that could help for some temporary relief? the pain is pretty bad right now. thanks!

It sounds like you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis. This is an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot. Start by icing 15 minutes every hour. Perform stretches for the achilles tendon which attaches to the bottom of the foot. I like and have had good results with what I call the “golf ball exercise“. Get a golf ball and sit in your favorite chair. Then massage the bottom of your foot with the golf ball for 10-15 minutes several times per day. Natural anti-inflammatories like enzymes are excellent to take down the inflammation. If conservative approaches such as these do not give you relief, then I would try laser therapy and physical therapy.”

LOWER BACK PAIN? IS THERE ANYTHING KIND OF FRUIT OR VEG TO EAT?

Great question! Back pain is caused by inflammation. Eating an anti-inflammation diet would be beneficial in eliminating or reducing the pain. Stay away from meat, dairy and shellfish. These are all pro-inflammatory for the body (they increase prostaglandins that promote inflammation). Eat alot of fruits and vegetables. Pineapples have papain which are nice anti-inflammatories. Cold water fish, i.e. cod, tuna, etc. contain oils that take down inflammation as well.

I have double scoliosis, and when the weather gets cold or rainy…it really starts hurting. i get sore and bruised and i get really bad headaches. ive tried hot baths with epson salt, hot pads and cold ice packs, icey hot ointment. pain killers…is there any ideas Im forgeting about?

        My first thought would be to see your local back pain specialist, preferrably a Chiropractic Physician. I have many patients with your condition who get great relief. I would also take some plant enzymes on an empty stomach 2-3 times per day. Papain and Bromelain are a couple, you should be able to find a good natural supplement that has them all. EPA/DHA are also great natural anti-inflammatories.
