my mom has fought 3 diff. cancers for 13 years and is now cancer free; but she still experiences chronic pain from a prev. neck surgery (during her 1st and 2nd cancer treatment). i think the wound is still not properly healed inside coz when she is exposed to hot humid weather, her "wound" become red and swollen and she constantly feels stabbing pain-she says its as if her nerves are getting stretched.
her condition got a little better when the wound healed from the outside but until now she still experiences pain and it gets worse in hot and humid weather. she has to stay in an air conditioned room most of the day coz when she sweats her neck wound would sting and get swollen all over again.
how can i help my mom deal with the pain? she takes pain killers but she doesn't want to be dependent of them. are there other alternatives out there? i really hope you can help.

Since the pain is connected to the outside scar area, she might find some very good relief from applying pain patches.
These patches have to be prescribed, and they aren't cheap. But the good thing is she could stop taking pain pills in her whole body, because the pain would have medicine right on the place that hurts. The other good thing, is that with the patches on, that might protect the skin from the heat.
The patches are white on the outside, with a soft, sort of jelly-ish part that sticks to the skin. They come in a big rectangle shape, and can be cut to size, to suit the need.

If Mom doesn't want to stay on pharmaceuticals, I would suggest that she see a naturopathic doctor or a homeopathic practitioner. Both specialize in natural and alternative medicines.
It may take a little longer for the natural meds to work, but they are healing remedies.

Go to this and review it in its entirety, for you have asked of alternatives. Herein you shall now go the Source:
www.theuniversalhealer.com.
Continue to do as you do as much as you can and meanwhile take action on behalf of both yourself and your mother. Abide her wishes and do not push, force or cross what she intuitively feels is proper for her. There are reasons beyond mere allopathic, even naturopathic medical means of the why and how of her medical history... Do you see?
As her, in effect, primary health giver, do bear in mind, there typically exist alternatives, but the question rests with the individual herself or himself always, which is unique and peculiar to that individual's state of consciousness and openness to what Spirit brings to her or him. Spirit has already brought her much; one might see no reason -- for her sake -- that other miracles should not happen as well and again.
Most important, doctors do not heal; Spirit does the healing always in tandem with the Angelic Hosts whose charge it is to facilitate the healing merited and as appropriate and in alignment with the universes at large. Do you see? Know this...
All right, please, go now to the website...

I have used magnets sold by Nikken since my surgery eight years ago. It has helped. Be supportive. You sound like a wonderful child.
