When I am in extremely bad pain????? I use elastic bandages and wrap my wrists, forearms, ankles feet, etc... After a while, it seems to help, at least getting the pain down to a dull roar.
So far none of the nsaids have helped. When my back is doing it's thing only more so...a nice warm shower helps, however be sure to cool down, if not then you might get sick from being too warm or hot.
I try laying against one of our warm doggies, the support, and warmth does help.
feel better
