Remedies for Agitated Nerve Pain – Pain Relief

Remedies for Agitated Nerve Pain – Pain Relief

Article by Ray Attebery









When nerves suffer damage for any variety of reasons, the pain can be life altering, if not life threatening. Finding ways to live with pain and efforts to make it go away can become an all-consuming activity in your life. Fortunately, there are medications that can help, no matter the source that triggered your pain.

Causes of nerve pain are numerous but the main ones include:

>Damaged and/or compressed nerves due to a traumatic event such as a fall,>Nerve damage following surgery,>Sciatica,>Plantar fasciitis or foot pain in general,>Fibromyalgia, pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons,>Nerve damage caused by drug abuse,>Post-herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), the onset pain from the Shingles Rash,>Diabetes, neuropathy and neuropathic pain.

To get pain relief, you have several options, but none of them work all the time, and most are not without risk to your body one way or the other. The body has the unique ability to adjust to most medications, in that, over time given sustained use; it requires more and more of the same pain relief medicine to achieve the same level of pain relief.

* The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney diseases reports that over the counter NSAIDS such as aspirin, ibuprofen and the like may temporarily ease your pain but their use is not without risk to other areas of your body.

* Any product with capsaicin as an ingredient may offer temporary pain relief.

* Certain depressants such as amitriptyline, imipramine, or nortriptyline are sometimes effective.

* Clinical trials indicate that Mexiletine is effective in treating pain.

* Codeine can be used for a short time to relieve pain, but it can be very addictive.

* Homeopathic Drugs and Applications can be very effective.

* Alternative medicines such as Menastil, EZ Pain Relief and Heartland are topically applied.

* Other pain treatments…

* Acupuncture * Electrical stimulation devices (TENS) * Hypnosis * Biofeedback

Special Note: The American Medical Association does not accept homeopathy, but it doesn’t reject it either. “The AMA encourages doctors to become aware of alternative therapies and use them when and where appropriate,” says AMA spokesman Jim Fox. “Even professionals who practice homeopathy warn that nothing in medicine–either conventional or alternative–is absolute”, states Mr. Fox.

The key to dealing with your pain is understanding the root cause of pain. ALL pain, is due to nerve damage agitation, no exceptions. The level of nerve agitation and resultant pain is directly related to the inflammation present in the painful area which reduces the level of blood and oxygen flow into the infected area.

The most effective pain relief medications, cause the nerve ends to relax and allow the blood and oxygen to flow back into the infected area to effectively cut-off the signals to the spinal cord and therefore to the brain resulting in pain relief. You still have the problem, you just do not feel it as much.

Non-narcotic, non-addictive, all natural pain relief medications are available from The Centre for Pain Relief. Check out their website to determine if one of their products can help you with your painful condition.

Your Questions About Shingles

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Joe Homps

Chris asks…

How contagious is shingles ?

If my friend has had shingles for 10 days, and it is clearing up, how contagious is it? I have never even had chicken pox…

admin answers:

Shingles are contagious when there are new blisters forming and old blisters healing. Once all the blisters have crusted over, the virus can no longer be spread.

Since you have never had chicken pox, you would not get shingles, you would get chicken pox. That’s how the virus works. Shingles itself is not contagious – no one will get shingles from your friend. These sites explain how it works.

George asks…

when is someone contagious with shingles?

I have a 9 month old baby who has not been vaccinated with the chicken pox shot yet and two weeks ago my dad came over to visit. The day after he left he found out he had shingles. He didn’t know it when he visited us. Would he have been contagious on that day to my baby. He didn’t hold her much. Maybe a couple of minutes. It has been 2 weeks.
My mom wrote this

admin answers:

It’s very possible your baby will get chickenpox. The average incubation period is 14 to 16 days but can be shorter or longer. If three or four weeks have passed and your baby doesn’t come down with them, she’s probably going to be ok.

Sharon asks…

Is SHINGLES contagious?

I have an aunt who is 62 yrs old and with diabetes and is diagnosed to have SHINGLES. There’s other old person in the house and children who haven’t got chickenpox. Is it contagious? Do we have to quarantine her?

admin answers:

Yes it is contagious to people who have not yet had chicken pox – It sounds like you know…you don’t catch shingles from someone with shingles, you catch chickenpox from someone with shingles, but it may be too late for quarantining anyone. The only phase when this disease is contagious is when the patient has developed blisters with clear fluid and the rash covering the blisters has not developed crusts. It is spread by contact, not by sneezing, coughing or standing too close.

Charles asks…

Is Shingles contagious?

My friend has Shingles and sometimes she drinks out of my drink but she doesn’t put her mouth on it (like a bottle of soda and tips it to pour into her mouth)..

I hope it isn’t contagious in anyway.
I HAVE had chicken pox.

admin answers:

No. Shingles is not contagious. If you had NOT had the chicken pox, however, you could get the chicken pox from contact with your friend.

P.s. Regardless of this fact, it really is not a good idea to share sodas. She could transfer other illnesses to you unwittlingly (or visa versa).

Sandra asks…

Shingles contagious how touching, can it servive on cold serfaces, countertops, toilet, ect?

admin answers:

Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. The virus can live outside of the body for up to 24 hours.

Tinnitus Solution – The Options Available and the Best Cure

Tinnitus Solution – The Options Available and the Best Cure

Article by Candy Lim









What can be as difficult and equally complicated as getting into a war against wind mill? Well, finding a permanent tinnitus treatment can be equally tricky and problematic. Similar to the nature of shingles, most medications provide an interim respite from tinnitus, but fail to come up with a permanent solution. However, if a holistic approach is adopted for treating tinnitus, patients can indeed hope to make a complete recovery. Symptoms of tinnitus include painful sensations in the ear, along with a discharge from the area (in addition to the customary ringing noises). If these symptoms actually manifest themselves, it is highly advisable to arrange a session with an ENT specialist, so that suitable corrective measures may be adopted. The factors listed above are not, however, diseases in themselves.

If medical experts indeed diagnose tinnitus as the chief culprit that is resulting in these symptoms that cause great distress to the patients, they suggest various methods of treatment accordingly. Given below are some of the common modes of tackling tinnitus related problems.

The Options Available For Tinnitus Treatment

* The powerful yet short-lived relief provided by medicines sold over the counter (OTC). Harmful side effects are a disturbing feature of these drugs,* Generating ‘white noises’ and other alternative resonances, in order to distract the patients’ minds. Specially made masking tools and instruments are used for this purpose,* The respite obtained by practicing ways to relax the body. The relief however is nothing more than illusory,* Medicines with herbal ingredients, which are generally found to be of very little practical benefit,* The relief obtained from homeopathic medicines. However, patients cannot hope for a complete cure with this* The rather inconsequential tinnitus remedies that can supposedly be prepared at home.

Keeping in view the overall welfare and health of the person, it can safely be concluded that they should ideally stay away from these medications. These drugs are associated with many health hazards, including headaches, constipation and irregularities in the discharge of bowels, among others. Indeed, these side effects can take a far more serious turn than the usual ringing noises generated by tinnitus. However, at times, these noises cross all levels of endurance and the person is forced to opt for these OTC drugs.

A List Of The Most Popular OTC Drugs Used For Tinnitus Treatment:

* Botulinum toxin chemicals,* Drugs like Melatonin,* Different varieties of Tricyclics,* Setraline compounds,* Propranolol and/or Clonazepam,* Lignocaine medications,* Medications with Acamprostrate,* Carbazepine and such other medicines, and* Etidronate and/or Sodium fluoride.

Contrary to these rather harmful OTC medications, the tinnitus masking tools that try to give some relief to the affected people do not come with side effects. They work indirectly and make use of white noises and music bands. The types of sound effects used can range from the melodious patter of waterfalls, the swirl of water moving in a Jacuzzi, or the sounds generated from heights of about 40,000 feet, from the cockpits of a jet airplane. All these sounds are available in a pre-recorded CD, and can easily divert the attention of the distressed tinnitus patients. In fact, well known, famous musical tracks can act as equally effective ‘white noise’ as well, due to their interesting and beautiful tunes. However, these techniques of treating tinnitus only put a lid on the agony that can be caused by the disease, and do not cure the illness. All that can be achieved is a convenient way to avoid the full burden of the effects of the illness.

To combat tinnitus, it has to be ensured that the head and the neck of the affected person are receiving adequate blood. Herbal remedies are found to be particularly effective in this. Taking an example, the Ginkgo Biloba is noted for its ability to facilitate proper blood circulation in the human head and neck regions and thus it is often prescribed. Sesame seeds, which were first used by doctors of the Orient for treating tinnitus, have now gained favor among the medical experts in the US as well. Significant benefits are to be had, if tinnitus patients make it a habit to consume a combination of Black Cohosh and Ginkgo everyday in the morning on an empty stomach.

The Periwinkle herb is held in high regard as a useful medicinal plant. This herb yields a compound called Vincamine. The Vincamine compound has been a long-standing ingredient of the treatment procedures of health hazards like tinnitus and M?nière’s syndrome, among German medical practitioners. This chemical needs to be consumed only in its prescribed dosage volumes (thrice everyday, and 25 milligrams per day). Adequate care should be taken to prevent accidental overdoses, since that can result in the blood pressure falling sharply, leading to serious medical consequences.

In order to keep a suitable check on the irritation and agony that tinnitus can give rise to, plant products, such as seeds of the sunflower plant, Mistletoe Tea and the Passion flower are often made use of. When applied on a regular basis, these treatment regimes can also help in smoother circulation of blood in the head and neck of a tinnitus patient.

Also, one must not turn a blind eye to the highly useful medical product made in China, which is also known as the San-huang-hsin-tang. This formulation reduces the effects of the tinnitus disease by using a mixture of Coptis and Rhubarb components.

Coming to the homeopathic treatments, the general opinion is far from unanimous as to whether they actually yield the desired advantages. The Materia Medicas contains an exhaustive list of the probable symptoms of tinnitus, apart from the most prominent one (i.e., a never-ending ringing sensation to the ear). The sheer volume of these symptoms makes the creation of an effective homeopathic medicine, with the ideal composition, an extremely tough task. Moreover, these methods of treating need to take care of the unique body compositions of the patients, and hence, can vary from person to person.

The fact remains that, most or all, of the traditional methods to treat tinnitus try to tackle only the symptoms of the illness. They do not try to drive away the root causes from the body. The root causes of tinnitus can also be several, with they, and there are many triggers as well. All this makes tinnitus a rather complicated illness, and its causes must not be ignored. The holistic methods of tinnitus treatment, on the other hand, consider the entire body as a single functioning system, and then identify the factors that cause tinnitus. Once these factors are eradicated, the symptoms of the disease disappear as well, providing a complete cure. Not surprisingly, these holistic measures have been found to be greatly successful in helping patients get out of tinnitus.

Article by Janet Dawson









Acute lower back pain is one of the most common complaints of people, with 8 out of 10 Americans experiencing it and 4 out of these 8 experienced it more than once in their lifetime. According to experts, acute lower back pain is a symptom and not a disease. It occurs because some reasons or incidences happened thereby triggering the pain to attack. The studies further showed that no specific cause was identified in around 70% of the people known to suffer from lower back pain. Go on reading as you discover the different things that trigger the pain to attack.

Injuries or diseases in the muscles, spinal nerves, and bones are some of the reasons or factors that trigger acute lower back pain. It could also be triggered by abnormalities in the chest, abdomen, pelvis, or other organs, all of which are characterized by the pain in the back. Lower back pain may also be caused by bladder infections, ovarian disorders, pelvic infections, aneurysm, appendicitis, kidney diseases, and other intra-abdominal disorders. Even pregnant women can experience acute lower back pain. Back pain in pregnancy is due to irritation of the nerves, strain and pressure placed on the lower back, and stretching of the pelvis ligaments.

Other cases that may be characterized by this symptom include minor physical trauma from similar circumstances.

Lower back pain symptoms may also manifest if you have spinal stenosis, with pain characterized as radiating down to the lower extremities of the body, particularly when standing or walking at a prolonged period of time. Acute lower back pain may also be caused by cauda equine syndrome, a medical emergency that occurs when the spinal cord is directly compressed. Back pain symptoms may also signal myofascial pain accompanied by tenderness in affected areas, immobile muscle groups, and pain in the peripheral nerves.

Your Questions About Shingles

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Joe Homps

Betty asks…

What is herpes zoster and how does it differ from the childhood disease, chickenpox

admin answers:

I’ve had it, and trust me, it sucks!

‘Shingles’–as it is usually called, consists of sores and a rash that trail along a single nerve. In my case, they went along the middle of my back edging towards the side. That’s definitely the major difference between chicken pox and herpes zoster…it’s only in one place vs. All over.

The way the doctor explained it to me was this: After you get chickenpox, the virus–instead of just disappearing from your system– stays dormant. This virus can be triggered by anything that weakens your immune system, like illness, (or in my case, stress) and well, before you know it…Shingles.

Charles asks…

do i need to stay home because of herpes zoster?

i start school again next thursday and i really dont want to go back because of these ugly blistery things on my face. do i need to stay because its contagious?

admin answers:

Herpes zoster is unsightly, but it is not a reason to stay home, it is not chicken pox (as the previous poster indicated) it is a result of having had chicken pox at one time, then the virus mutates and lives in the nervous system, it then expresses itself as small blisters and sores on the lips or face. It is transmissable thru kissing or oral sex, but I doubt you’d be doing that in school. So, suck it up, stop being so obsessive about your appearance and be more concerned with getting an education.

Daniel asks…

will giving antiviral agent like valacyclovir later than 72 hours upon start of herpes zoster still effective?

admin answers:

It may, and it may not.

Valacyclovir, for herpes zoster, should actually be taken within 48 hours of the onset of a rash to be most effective, though the clinical studies performed started treatment within 72 hours (*info on the package insert)

John asks…

How can I put a stop to recurrent herpes zoster (shingles) sores?

admin answers:

Simple use L lysine 2 grams 2 times per day, the mechanism is that herpes virus uses an amino acid Arjininne to reproduce and the amino acid Lysine is an Arjinine antagonist meaning it competes for absorption in the body this causes the arjinne to be flush from the body leaving the virus with nothing to fed on controlling the infection ,It works well but is not a cure

Ken asks…

Herpes zoster neuralgia, what is the best treatment?

My dad has it on one side of his head, very uncomfortable. Any treatment you have tried?

admin answers:

Antiviral medication prescribed by an MD and pain meds during the acute phase. I have seen Neurontin ordered for lingering pain after acute phase
