Answer 1

Causes of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is caused by prolonged irritation of nerve endings in the body that act as pain signals. These nerve endings can be irritated or stimulated by injury, inappropriately applied pressure, exposure to excess cold or heat, stress, and wounds. Certain diseases, including some forms of cancer, can also result in chronic pain. Unresolved emotional or mental issues can also cause chronic pain due to the stress associated with them, as can how people perceive their experiences due to the filters of their ethnic and socio-cultural backgrounds. Our early behavioral and learning patterns can also influence how we perceive and respond to pain. In addition, pain medications, as well as other forms of pharmaceutical drugs, can also cause pain due to negative side effects.

Food allergies, inflammation, and a diet that creates an internal acidic pH condition, are also common and significant factors that can cause or contribute to chronic pain.

Quick Action Plan for Dealing with Chronic Pain


1. Refuse to be a victim of your pain. Take responsibility for your situation and know that you are in control of it. This simple yet sometimes difficult step can often make all the difference in terms of how fast and effectively you heal.

2.Take steps to determine whether or not toxins, either from the environment or from the foods you eat, are contributing to your pain symptoms. If so, undergo a period of detoxification and internal cleansing.

3. Identify and eliminate all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Also eliminate all processed foods from your diet, as well as sugars, simple carbohydrates, alcohol, coffee, soda, and foods high in saturated and hydrogenated fats. Instead, emphasize a diet of fresh, organic foods, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables at every meal, and lots of pure, filtered water throughout the day.

4. Supplement your diet with vitamin C, vitamin E, evening primrose oil, omega 3 fish oils, magnesium, acidophilus, bifidobacteria, digestive and proteolytic enzymes, and the amino acid DL-phenylalanine.

5. Learn biofeedback, guided imagery and visualization, and self-hypnosis techniques to better manage and control your pain symptoms, and to discover their potential underlying causes.

6. Make use of magnet therapy and hydrotherapy (cold and/or hot water compresses, and soothing baths) to further reduce or eliminate your symptoms.

7. Make it a point to receive regular sessions of massage or other forms of bodywork.

8. Visit a chiropractor and/or acupuncturist.

9. Consider the use of energy devices, such as the TENS Unit, and/or visit a reputable energy healer.

Answer 2

This much over time will be hard on your liver. In the intermediate, you will find merely bumping into things will cause bruising or a blood blister. Probably give you an upset stomach also. I had run out of 81 mgs aspirin and, being cheap ,decided to take the 325s I had laying around. I found after a week that anytime if bumped the least sharp item, I would cut and bleed more than normal. 81 mg is what Docs recommend for heart disease to thin the blood.

Answer 3

It depends on how much you take. If only a little bit, then in small amounts aspirin can help prevent blood clots and also prevent strokes and heart attack. If you take too much aspirin you can have a severe bleeding episode. Aspirin should not be given to children because it has been connected to Reyes syndrome.

Acetaminophen is hard on the liver if you take too much.

I think the most affective at pain relief and possibly safest is ibuprofen (generic motrin or advil)

Answer 4

Of all the pain relievers you mention, only aspirin has the fewest side effects. Acetaminophen/tylenol etc. all have a negative effect on the liver.

Answer 5

Taking OTC pain meds every day is not a good idea unless under doctors supervision. These all can have serious side effects if taken for any length of time. I suggest you see your doctor or go to the pain clinic.

Answer 6

It depends totally on what you are treating. Tylenol is a brand name for acetaminophen, by the way. One has to be careful with all NSAIDs, so it's really best to consult a doctor.

Answer 7

tylenol is probably the safest long term, but talk to a doctor or pharmacist before you start for dosing especially if you drink a lot of have liver problems

Answer 8

I know that ibuprophene is bad for the heart taken on a regular basis, watch out!

Answer 9

the best answers now is 81mg baby aspirin for long term.
