I was in a jeep roll over in the army and serviced with a deteriorating knee. The VA will only give 800 Ibuprofen. The pain is worse on rainy days.
First, thank you for your service. Pain worse on rainy days is indicative of degenerative arthritis. The ibuprofen works to a point but generally becomes less effective overtime and of course there are risks with long term use e.g. stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney damage etc. Visit www.ultimaxxhealth.org<http://www.ultimaxxhealth.org> to see how Our Mission and natural pain reliever, LEVARE is not only helping Vets like yourself but people all over with similar problems.
About the prescription pain pills why do doctors prescribe them and they work only to say now you have to get used to using ibuprofen which doesn”t work as good because they don”t want you to get addicted? If the pain is stronger than the medicine, why not continue the stronger of the two?
Very good questions. The main reason is for years we had been prescribing them not knowing about the serious potential for addiction, overdose, death etc. As a clinical community, government regulatory body etc. we are now playing catch up regarding proper solutions to manage these very challenging issues. We can’t leave people in pain, it’s inhumane, but we can’t keep prescribing medication that we know have these serious adverse side effects. Because of this particular class of medication and the collateral issues associated with their prescribing and utilization we are in the midst of one of the worst epidemics in U.S. history. It would make logical sense to treat strong pain with strong meds, but we have to use medications that are not only effective but safe. Visit www.ultimaxxhealth.org<http://www.ultimaxxhealth.org> and see Why LEVARE section to read about the story of a drugged General (who thought the same way e.g. more pain, take more pain meds) and what we are doing to safely end this epidemic naturally.
My brother has had one kidney removed due to cancer. He is also a diabetic and has arthritis which makes it hard for him to walk sometimes due to the pain in his knees and ankles. The only thing that seems to help him with the pain is Aleve. If he takes it for a long period of time, it affects his kidney, to the point of where he developed an infection and almost died. Is the new medicine that u all patented a product that can help him in this situation? Also, what is the name of it again, so that if it is a consideration, i can have him ask his doctor about it. Answer: That is unfortunate. You brother would probably benefit from aquatic exercise for his knees and ankles, that form of exercise is also great for cardiovascular fitness. Aleve is effective but chronic usage is associated with exactly what you describe, significant kidney problems. Yes, LEVARE will help him, visit www.ultimaxxhealth.org<http://www.ultimaxxhealth.org> and www.levarepainrelief.com<http://www.levarepainrelief.com> to learn more about our amazing natural pain relief solution. His doctor can also download the brochure and special pain relief report from the site.
Why is it difficult for those who flare up due to Lupus to get pain meds?
Because of the high potential for addiction, overdose and death, prescription painkillers are being more tightly controlled. As a result of these issues, physicians are in many cases not just limiting their prescribing of them, but discontinuing doing so all together. Lupus flare ups can of course be painful, but there are non-pharmacological pain relief options that can be discussed with the treating physician as well as natural pain relief options.
