I don't know how early in recovery you are, but the same thing

happened to me when I got sober.

 

After a few months of sobriety, every joint in my body seemed to

ache at one time or another. Climbing the stairs was very painful,

as was bending. But, it didn't last very long, fortunately. Maybe

a few weeks or so. Then it went away and never came back. I've

heard from many people who have gotten sober that this happened to

them also.

 

Please don't give up. It's really worth staying clean. Best of

luck.

Don't they have pain medication that is sopposed to be non-addictive. Toradol

is great. Its a very,very strong hospital strength motrin that you need to get

from a doctor. When I had my last surgery that helped me better then the

moraphin and diluded pain meds they give you. Also Ultraset helps. Good Luck

Put a cup of Epson salt in your bath water & soak for

at least 30 minutes. Epson salt has magnesium in it

which will help relax your muscles.

 

Omega 3 fatty acids help control pain by depressing

the prostoglandins in your body that feed inflammatin,

which is associated with pain. So take at least 2 to

4 grams of fish oil caps a day. Flax seed oil will help

also. Raw walnuts have omega 3 fatty acids in them so they

would be a good snack. Grass fed beef has much more

omega 3 fat than grain fed beef. (2/1 vs 20/1 omega 6/3)

Canned salmon or sardines are also a good source or

omega 3 fatty acids.

In some studies, patients with bad discs found

significant reduction in pain with omega 3 supplementation.

 

Heavy use of vegetable oils, which has omega 6 fats

(and little or no omega 3) in them will actually

cause more inflammation if you are not getting

enough omega 3 fats to balance your intake. Use

olive oil instead of vegetable oils.

 

Vitamin, mineral supplements will help you, too.

If you are deficient in anything, your body will

not heal properly. Taking supplements will help

insure you get enough of anything you might need.

The B vitamins, especially B6 will help your nerves.

 

Exercise will help your back. Keeping the muscles

that support your spine strong will help a lot.

A good chiropractor can also give you relief.

 

I've never used it myself, but a lot of people

say they get very good pain relief with Noni

juice. Take an ounce several times a day. It has

a lot of bromelain in it, which is anti-inflammatory.

In one study, it was reported to be 75% as effective

as morphine for pain relief.

 

Be very careful with using the motrin on a daily

basis. It can weaken the protective lining in your

stomach so that the stomach acid will then cause an

ulcer. Any of the NSID pain relievers or aspirin will

do this.

It is true that pain increases 10 fold while in the immediate recovery period of

addiction. If this is the case, coffee enemas speed up this process and detoxes

rapidly. However, if your pain is a continuing pain condition and you are

looking for other, more natural methods of pain relief to avoid narcotics, there

is a product called " Zyflamend " by New Chapter or " Headache Relief " also by New

Chapter that are mainly spice extracts and work tremendously well for pain (I

had a client who said they both worked as well as vicodin for pain). You can

take 4 to 6 at a time, depending on the severity of the pain. You should be

able to get these at any health food store or online.

Good luck
