Most pain relevers prove to be worthless and most other ways take half a day to finaly kill the ache

Find out what is causing them and treat that rather than the headache itself and it will go away more quickly.  Like stress, light, sinus/allergy, ect.\n\nI get headaches frequently and finally figured out that I have to treat each headache as a separate issue, because they can be caused by many things.\n\nI used to get headaches in grade/high school and finally figured out that I'm sensitive to florescent lights and sitting by a window so the natural light could diffuse the florescent light made a big difference.\n\nNow days the make several different types of painkillers, such as tension, sinus/allergy, migraine...

First of all, don't exercise through pain. It is better to give yourself a rest for a while. But if the pain becomes stronger, contact your doctor immediately! It can be too serious if you don't!

I took a 2 hour nap when I got home and I was up and about and eating hours later.. (eating soup that is).. it all depends on the person and what pain killers they give you. they give my cousin strong pain killers so he was out for like 3 days.

I hope this gets to you in time and I am sorry..I know how bad back pain can be.\n\nSince my insurance has discontinued paying my once a week visits to the chiropractor (I had multiple severe injuries and it helped to see him),.\n\nI can't afford it for 2 years and have found great help for any muscle pain from MAGNETS. \n\nSometimes within 5 minutes and often by morning, all pain is gone or greatly reduced.  Magnets work on between 85-90% of people.\n\n I use magnelyfe brand (but the tape is no longer any good and doesnt stick and you lose magnets so don't use the tape that comes with it...the tape (waterproof) that you stick magnets on with USED to stick 3 days but they redesigned it and  now only sticks  5 minutes (on me anyway).  \n\nI have been using waterproof first aid tape at the grocery till I find a magnet supplier tape I like.  I use 10,000 guass disc magnets  ( they are about $20 for two but on sale here for 13.99 (plus s & H) or do a search or try local health food stores.\n\nhttp://www.myvitanet.com/magneodmagsu.html\n**********************************************************\n\n**********************************************************\n\nDr. Schulze's formula "deep tissue oil is said to be good (i-800-herbdoc)\n  \nhttp://www.herbdoc.com/p58.asp\n\n************************************************************************************************************************\n\nAlso try hot/cold showers..run the water as hot as you can take it on the area for one minute then switch to ice cold for one minutes..do 7 hots and seven colds (eventually you will be able o take hotter and colder when you get used to it).\n***********************************************************\n***********************************************************\n\n                   IMPORTANT\n\nThe most longer lasting help is by visiting a good chiropractor trained in the palmer method.  I was in 20-25 wrecks (only a couple my fault) and also hit by a car while walking and almost run over (I was under her car) \n\n A neurologist said my low back (I also had other injuries) was extremely herniated and I needed immediate surgery...\n\nI said I wanted to try conservative treatment with my chiropractor first (because I knew he had fixed me before).  The neurologist angrily screamed at me as I was leaving "I guarantee you'll be back in a week--you will not be able to stand the pain."  Thankfully, I never had to go back and submit to his knife.\n\nAlthough my back will never be normal as each time it's injured it is more fragile, weakened, and prone to injury and although it took considerable time, my chiropractor fixed me--I went from a wheelchair to walking (now walking about 45 minutes a day but could do more if I tried)..so I love my chiropractor.\n\nI thank God I didn't get surgery as I run into people all the time who are still screwed up because of surgery 20 years later.  I suspect I would be a lot worse off if not for my chiropractor...(I have an especially good one--smart and nice)..he said mine was the worst herniated disk he ever worked on.  \n\nKeep in mind as the muscles are pulled and disc put back in place via adjustments to the correct allignment,(muscles  stretch and get used to the wrong place ) they are usually not strong enough to hold and slip back to the bad place..consequently,the chiropractor must do it repeatedly (requiring sometimes a few visits a week) sometimes you might feel worse after an adjustment (if I did it was usually better in an hour or so) but eventually it will stay in the right place longer and longer until one day it is fine. \n\n Government studies show chiropractic (and excerise) are the best treatments for low back pain.  The AMA was angry at this study and lobbied to stop another one about neck pain where chiropractic is also a star.  Don't be tense or afraid as that makes it harder to adjust..concentrate on relaxing (I find putting cold pack on it right before s

I've used a heating pad and it did help with the pain a bit.  Decongestant would be the other option.

In most people it gradually resolves with mild activity restrictions and nonsteroidal antiinflammatories, narcotic analgesic drugs, or muscle relaxers. \n\nPeople whose symptoms do not improve with these therapies should be reevaluated professionally. It may take surgery of the lower back. To remove a herniated disk for example.\n\nUsing proper body mechanics help reduce pain. Bend at the knees, stretch, and warm up before exercise…\n\nHope this helps!

I tried REIKI. I went from wanting small doses of morphine to not needing anything at all. There are no guarantees with anything and don't EVER give up your regular treatments, but I don't thnk REIKI will hurt and its worth a try. I have inflamatory osteo arthritis and fibromyalgia.

What works for me is exercise everyday ... a long walk does wonders.  I don't mean intense exercise, just something that gets you up and moving for an hour or so at a time.

If you are worrying about pain then it can make it worse.  That means go to the doctor.  And ask him questions!!!  People dont make their doctors work for them enough.  Make him take tests if you are really worried.  There may be a simple explanation.\n\nIf your pain doesnt get worse while exercising, do some exercise!  Also drinking water is essential, and I have read in many books that hydration (enough water) is very important.\n\nWhat do you eat?  Do you eat properly.\n\nAccupuncture has been shown to have some effect as well.  That would be a better option than some silly remedy.  In fact here in australia, some md s do accupuncture as well.\n\nEveryone should take responsibility to make themselves as healthy as possible.  But you should see a doctor, and take every step you can to help yourself too.\n\nGood luck - see a doctor and get him to take tests... Do it!!!

Neither sterling silver nor copper has ever been shown to be effective for pain.  Use for decorative purposes only.  (Magnetic bracelets are useless, too.)

you have made me remember a friend from 20 years ago who drove us crazy comp;aining about this condition i regret not being more understanding of the terrible pain she was experiencing at the time believe me the only thing that helped this dear friend was valium. if worse comes to worse try it because i personally witnessed a complete reversal of her condition when she started to take it,perhaps it works as a dental muscle relaxor or something like that i know the dentist here uses the valium for a lot of procedures anyway be well.
