Description

The Benefits of Natural Pain Relief to Patients with Chronic Conditions We all suffer from physical pain at one point or another. Sports injury, car accident, even just bumping your leg on the coffee table will inflict some level of pain on a person. The extent of the injury and its treatment dictate how long you will suffer. Imagine though, being in constant pain, every day, all the time. This is fibromyalgia, and there is no cure. The only comfort is to try and minimize symptoms using natural pain relief methods. Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes constant muscle ache and exhaustion. Over 5 million Americans are affected by it, and around 85% of those are women. The cause of the disease remains a mystery, and there is no known cure. People inflicted with fibromyalgia will often develop secondary problems, such as depression, as a result of the never ending pain and exhaustion. Many find it difficult to function at work and at home. Common over-the-counter pain medications, like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, can be used to help ease some of the discomfort. The trouble with these types of pills being used for a chronic disease is that over time your body will build up a tolerance. A patient may resort to taking more than the recommended dosage. This can lead to other, serious, medical problems. Too much ibuprofen will irritate the walls of the stomach and can cause ulcers.
