HOW TO EASE CHRONIC PAIN NATURALLY

IF YOU SUFFER FROM CHRONIC MUSCLE AND BONE PAIN, TRY THESE EASY TIPS FOR RELIEF

TAKE A SUPPLEMENT:

MagniLife Pain & Fatigue Relief tablets are designed to help with acute, widespread pain in the shoulders, back, neck, arms and legs that is usually accompanied by extreme fatigue.

SEE A DOCTOR:

Once your doc confirms you have fibromyalgia (widespread pain for threeplus months with no other condition causing it), he may recommend an OTC pain reliever, a targeted drug like pregabalin (Lyrica), or an antidepressant like duloxetine (Cymbalta) or milnacipran (Savella) for pain and fatigue. Physical or occupational therapy can also help.

TRY AN ALTERNATIVE:

Some studies, according to the Mayo Clinic, show benefits from acupuncture, yoga, tai chi and massage therapy in relieving fibromyalgia symptoms.

TAKE CARE:

The Mayo Clinic recommends self-care tips like listening to music, laughing, focusing on pleasant imagery, practicing paced/ controlled breathing and taking an occasional short bath at home or in a spa to help you feel better. (One caveat: Avoid bathing too long or too often, which can make you feel worse.)

CHANGE YOUR LIFE:

First, reduce stress with relaxation exercises and time to unwind. Get enough sleep on a regular schedule, begin gradually and regularly exercising with a physical therapist, pace yourself, eat healthy foods and cut out caffeine. If you’re tired and feeling achy, try MagniLife Pain & Fatigue Relief tablets ($19.99, PainFatigue.com). Also, an occasional short soak in the tub seems to reduce pain and stiffness.
