Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Are there any good 'remedies 'relief' for lower back ache??? I have had a lower back ache (brought on by clearing tree branches) for over a week off and on. I have tried arnica, nuprin, minor yoga exercises, heating pad (relief) and lots of water. Just thought maybe there was something else I could do. Thanks for all the info I have already read through all the posts! Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 I had back pain so bad I had to roll of the couch or out of bed. I got rid of mine years ago taking chelated magnesium, at least 500 mg/day until the pain subsides. A few days should do it if the pain is in the muscles and you don't have some other problem. We're all short on Magnesium so unless you have a bad kidney problem it should be OK to try. Start lower, if you wish. I believe my problem was calcium precipitated into the soft tissue due to many years of drinking lots of milk. There needs to be a balance. I am no authority on anything, just a layman who got results.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Joanne : Try rubbing Apple Cider into the Muscles of your lower back, for a few days .....Blessed be Medicine Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Thanks Loren, I am taking magnesium 400 of Twinlab, caps. It says from mag oxide and mag aspartate. Does anyone know if the chelate would be better? I will also try rubbing Apple Cider vinegar.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 I think magnesium oxide, much cheaper, is not so well absorbed. But maybe if you have plenty of stomach acid. My preparation had some B6 with it. I would go as high as 1,000 for a while as that is recommended by some doctors. Takes out kidney stones as well, so I read. I'm no authority.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Yes, try placing a magnet on the area that is sore. Most pains disappear within 20 minutes. I actually used my refrigerator magnet to try it out, then later bought one. Liz D - jfm Gettingwell 11/16/01 12:54:05 PM Lower back ache Are there any good 'remedies 'relief' for lower back ache???

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2001 Report Share Posted November 17, 2001 Wow, such great information I am receiving. Isn't there differences with brands of glucosamines? Also with the Omega 3? I was just going to get magnesium orotate. Magnet? Any kind? Thanks once again.....

Only in what they are chemically bound to. Not enough to worry about. Just use a well known brand. I have been using 500 mg twice a day for about 2 years now and my joints are like a young guy. No pain after exercicing / sport. > Also with the Omega 3? Again use a well known brand. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2001 Report Share Posted November 17, 2001 Dear JoAnne, If the back pain is in the center of the back and it is from a slipped (herniated) disc, there is a good chance it is from too little copper. Shell fish and liver are the richest sources of copper. You can see a further discussion of getting copper from food at; http://members.tripod.com/~charles_W/copper3.html Sincerely, Charles Weber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 MSM, methylsulfonylmethane, Usually gives instant relief and initiates healing. An economical source is www.msm-msm.com. Chuck I poured Spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone.
