Did you know that over 75 million people in the USA alone have some sore of chronic pain and reoccurring pain. Pain is one of the major causes of employees missing work and disability. This is according to research from the Journal of General Internal Medicine published in their issue for June 2008. Believe it or not, no one has been able to figure out the best way to relieve pain.

However, there are a few products that are well know for relieving pain, Here is a brief product profile for some over the counter gel products taken from www.gnrcatalog.com, a health professional product site.

I really hate to see people in pain. Please keep in mind, that I am not a physician or have any experience in pain, pain management or physical therapy. I just think, that instead of just treating the pain area, that some more effort should go into locating the real source of the pain. This just seems to me to be an efficient way of locating the cause of the pain.

a) Find out where the pain is really coming from by determining if the pain is caused by the area where the pain is located or if it is caused by the nervous system.

b) If the pain is coming from the pain area, find out which activities are causing the most pain by having your patient list every activity that causes their pain and next to each activity put a number next to the activity that would rate the extent of the pain.

c) Create a Rating list for the physician and the client. So both can refer to them as they do that activity and as treatment is provided to see if the rating has improved or not.

d) Re rate the pain after the number of visits that the physician determines improvement should be noted.

I realize that this doesn’t stop the pain but finding the cause instead of just treating the pain maybe a step in the right direction. In the meantime the gels listed above and more can be purchased from the GNRCatalog.com site by health care professionals or for the end user you can go to SelfCareCentral.com. I would like to hear from anyone their thoughts, ideas, solutions and/or remedies for Low back Pain, pain management.

Pain

In a simple case where you have had an accident and, perhaps, broken a bone, there will be acute pain lasting for a reasonably short period of time. Under normal circumstances, these physical injuries heal and the pain goes away. But, sadly, there are many medical conditions where the pain does not go silently into the night. In cases of chronic pain, you and the doctors advising you have to come up with strategies to help you cope — to make the best of your life under difficult circumstances. Now, the medical profession has recognized that, independently of the underlying cause, pain itself is something to be treated. To do so, there are a range of different techniques, including: * the use of drugs; * different kinds of physical therapy, counseling and psychological support; * acupuncture and forms of treatment slightly outside the bounds of conventional Western medicine; and * surgery and other forms of procedures to intervene and relieve. There is a distinction in the type of pain. Some is classified as nociceptive. Here the nervous system is properly identifying the source of the pain as a specific injury or particular point in the body. The symptoms group into radicular and somatic, depending on where the person feels the pain. The pain is said to be neuropathic when the nervous system is not working as it should, i.e. there is no obvious cause for the pain, but the brain insists that there is an injury in a particular place. This type of pain is more difficult to treat because the underlying cause is more difficult to diagnose. The problem in every case is to decide the best approach. Not everyone reacts to the underlying medical cause in the same way. There are varying degrees of pain and people respond to that pain in slightly different ways. Some are more accepting. Others grow depressed and turn themselves into invalids. So all pain management decisions start with a review of the individual’s medical history, asking what has been and can be done to treat the underlying cause, what level of pain intensity the person feels, whether the person has a positive or negative mental attitude, and so on. It is possible that more tests may need to be performed. If targeted surgery or other forms of intervention might relieve the pain, this should be tried first. While waiting for a specific diagnosis or for the treatments to begin, it is probably appropriate to use one of the standard drugs to control the pain. The best drug is tramadol and it is most commonly prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain across a wide range of cases. You should not self-medicate, i.e. do not go online and buy tramadol without first having a doctor check you out and make sure that it is safe for you to take this drug. You should also not resort to the pill bottle every time you have pain. At an early point, you should have effective treatment either for the underlying cause or for the pain itself and live without using drugs as much or at all.

One of the strange things about writing is working out what we take for granted. The problem is judging how much to explain. Sometimes, we explain everything as in the “for dummies” series of books. That’s everything you didn’t know about most things in big yellow packages. So here I am writing about ultram as the best painkiller, and then I realized I might be assuming that everyone knows all there is to know about pain — other than it hurts, of course. To fill in the gaps, I therefore offer the following quick guide (with my humble apologies if you already know all this). Pain is acute when it’s severe (i.e. it really, really hurts) but it’s only going to last for a short period of time. A good example would be the pain you feel after you’ve been cut open for surgery. Apart from the scapel-wielding surgeon, the reason for this kind of pain is to act as a warning not to move around too much. The body is telling you that more movement is going to cause more tissue damage. So, ultram works well to give you immediate relief both while your body heals and as you begin to exercise again to rebuild muscle tone. If pain persists over time, it is termed chronic and becomes a disease/disability process in its own right. Many factors can contribute to converting short-term into long-term pain. It may be a function of the initial injury or disease, whether there is nerve damage, the onset of depression or age. The latest studies of neuroplasticity show that severe acute pain can become chronic because the process to limit the transmission of pain messages breaks down. The nervous system slowly becomes more sensitive and reacts more strongly to pain signals. Nerves learn or remember pain. New habits form. Again ultram can suppress pain signals but, this treatment should be accompanied by cognitive behavioral therapy to learn how to cope with pain. When you experience symptoms of shooting, electric, tingling or burning but there are no obvious causes, this is described as neuropathic pain. As with chronic pain, treatment with ultram slows down the pain and gives you a breathing space during which physiotherapy, relaxation training and other pain management techniques are applied. If the pain is localized at the site of an injury or some other physical problem such as arthritis, and you feel it as sharp, throbbing or aching, this is described as nociceptive. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and stronger painkillers such as ultram are recommended. So this post was mild and acute and, because it’s a known cause, the resulting pain was nociceptive.
