My b/f has lower back pains and I am thinking of going to the store and buying some pineapples for him. Will this help his lower back pain?

Tyler "Have you tried asprin or weed?" <= I have reported this to Yahoo! and I am also forwarding a copy to the authorities. This is a very serious issue.

Harry D, I have reported you also. Please do not answer my questions with responses like that. I am seriously trying to help my b/f and I want to find a natural pain killer that is vegan.

What does this question have anything to do with "Vegetarian & Vegan" issues - which is the area that you posted this in??
Do you not know that one is to post questions in the appropriate areas??

Pineapple (Ananas Comosus) has a lot of medicinal values. It is a juicy tropical fruit with high dietary fiber content. Perhaps it is one of the few fruits containing natural source of an anti-inflammatory substance called Bromelain, which is very effective for Gout. It is also rich in Vitamin C and Protein digesting enzymes. You can very well get Pineapple for your b/f to help to reduce his back pain.

Bromelain, which is commonly found in pineapples, has been known to be a pain reliever and inflammation reducer.
He's probably get a stomach ache from all the citric acid in the pineapple before he consumed enough bromelain to make a difference.
A Tylenol might be a good chaser for the pineapple. ;)

It's very good for joints, it even lists it as a "superfood for joints" on the bag of frozen pineapple. It has a lot of anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric is also a very good anti-inflammatory. Try making a smootie with pineapple and mixing in a spoonful of turmeric (you can't really taste it over the tartness of the pineapple).

I don;t think buying pineapples does much of anything in regards to the medical world. Have you tried asprin or weed?

I would suggest an anti-inflammatory or some sort of otc painkiller first before resorting to anything natural or holistic, but that's just me. I like immediate results.
Though I'd suggest you buy pineapple anyway because it's damn tasty.

I have never heard such a thing. If you don't want to go the conventional medicine route, you might want to try massage, a heating pad, or a warm bath.
If his pain is chronic, though, he should see a doctor.

Oh my god... there you go again... reporting everyone under the sun!
How do you know Tyler isn't from amsterdam where weed is legal? He could even be from the uk... it's legal to smoke it here, as long as you don't deal it. Anyway, it's not bloody illegal anywhere to mention the word 'weed'!!!! I swear, you're hitler! Go on, I guess you're going to report me now too.... yawn!
As for you reporting Harry D... You're the one that said your boyfriend enjoys your farts! So how can you report him for reminding you? What the hell is wrong with you??

Did the foreign stripper he was with last night, when he told he had to stay in the office to "keep an eye on his positions in the international markets", give him back pains?

Yes, it is if you take Vicadan with it. I'm sorry, I dont understand how you came to this question. What is the connection between pain and fruit? This dude needs some ibuprofen.
