Pain Relief Tips - Are Your Pills Adding To Your Pain? - Nurse's Medication Guide - By: Helen Hecker

Have you been carrying around pain for a long time or even a short time and can't seem to get rid of it or feel any relief? I know many people who finally got rid of their pain, or diminished it greatly by stopping one or more of the medications they were taking. Pills often don't help and can cause you more pain and grief.

I've found that often pains can be combined and the sum of the pain is going to be greater than the sum of the two parts of pain you're having. I know this for myself and for the many patients I've seen.

Do you know if you're having just one source of pain or is it from combined sources?

What symptoms are you having? You want to pinpoint the one or more causes of your pain in case it's medication-related.

Hidden sources can come from a variety of reasons of course. A bad diet with nutritional deficiencies for example or as I'm discussing here it could be from your medications, prescription pain medication or painkillers. Over-the-counter and prescription medications of all types can be sources that you may not be aware of.

If you're taking a lot of medications, please stop reading after this article and go take a look at them. Do you really need all of them? Often I've seen patients take medications they don't need or they don't know what they're taking them for. You need to be aware of the problems that can develop and cause you additional pain because of side effects adverse reactions or the combining effect of one or more medications.

Even if you know what your medications are for they may still be a source of pain. There are many medications that can cause stomach, chest, back, hip, leg, joint and muscle pain, generalized body aches and pains and so on and you don't want to add to an underlying pain and make yourself feel worse.

Please take a look at your pills and medications today. You may be taking many that do not relieve your pain at all or you're taking for some other purpose.

Are you taking any new medications? It's recommended by many drug-watching organizations not to take any medication that hasn't been on the market for at least five years.

If you're taking several drugs take your list to your pharmacist and have them checked to make sure they can be taken together. Discuss any allergies you have. Try to get all your drugs from the same doctor and same pharmacy.

All drugs have risks. There is such thing as a safe drug. Seek natural solutions every way you can.

Pain medications and other medications and drugs are only one source of additional pain but it's one that you can evaluate now. There are many other hidden sources you may not have thought of that you can get rid of too. Give it some thought and get pain relief or stop your pain altogether.
