does anyone know what co-emzine Q10 is? Does it help muscle pain?

It is a antioxidant, and I would have to say yes it would help with muscle pain as athelets take it to be able to recover quicker after intense training.\n\nWhy you need CoQ10?\n\n"Coenzyme Q10 is recognised as an essential component in your body's production of ATP (also known as "muscle fuel").\n\nWithout ATP, our muscles cannot move. Without CoQ10, we can't manufacture ATP.\n\nAfter age 20, levels of CoQ10 in your body decline gradually. After 50, it plummets.\n\nCoenzyme Q10 is also one of the most powerful antioxidants every discovered, and has been found to improve athletic performance, and help intensive training athletes recover quicker.\n\nIn short, CoQ10 may well be one of the most important and versatile nutrients ever discovered. The only downfall of CoQ10 relates to its oral absorption."\n\nYou might want to read the whole article and judge for yourself though.

Actually, for me it's a lot more simple than anything like prescription pain medication.  All I do is go to my local Herb Store, there you will find these tablets that dissolve under your tongue.  There is one that will either be labeled PMS or Cramps.  They work wonders.  I've had Endometriosis for 6 years, and that's the ONLY thing that will help me other than Magnesium tablets.  They are supposed to be a natural muscle relaxer.  Just be careful, the magnesium will make the IBS symptoms that the endometriosis causes worse.  Hope you feel better!

This is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. It is used to treat increased muscle tone associated with spasticity.

Sounds liek your doctor is a quack. A relaxation CD? Well TMD is a complex disease that people don't really understand all that well but there are steps to treatment. First step is that if you grind or clench at night or in the daytime is to correct that problem. Stressing a bad joint is only going to make the problem worse. So you should stop clenching or grinding during the daytime. At night there is an appliance that is made so that it basically stops you from clenching so hard. It's like a mouthguard with a flat bottom. You can also take muscle relaxants to help with the clenching at night. Probably another important thing is to take something like ibuprofen because it will stop the process of inflammation in your joint and help with the pain. Stop ibuprofen though if it tears up your stomach. There are treatments .... and there are steps.  This guy giving you a CD and charging you money for that crap is not medicine

Ouch sweetie poor you, I know how much that really hurts, I get this due to illness. Firstly I would go see you Medical Officer, and then have a chat with your Commanding Officer, I have friends in the military and one had a back problem at the time of his PT test, it really took it out of him and he did fail it, but with the backing of his medical officer he re-tested a little while later and passed.\nWhen I had shin splints, now not sure if you are in the UK or the USA, but in the UK you can get a gel in a tube called Voltarol, with is brill for muscular pain, and also Deep Heat again really good stuff. But I had some stuff brought for me made by a company called WELEDA - massage balm with Arnica, its for muscular and rheumatic pain, now I have a muscular skeletal disease, and trust me this stuff works wonders, smells quite a bit but not unpleasant and has relaxing properties too.\nAlso put your feet up whenever you can and rest your shins as much as possible.\nHave you got your results for the other thing back yet?\nTake care Hun, thinking of you ;-)\n\nOh Dr Know It All.... you so obviously don't, and well Miss Perfect if that's an attempt at humor.... don't give up the day job love!!

If you get an excersize ball it works great to stretch on,  or theres a back press at the gym I use for mine, it strengthens my back and I havent had any pain in awhile.  I have bulging disks.  Also theres this stuff by Melaleuca, its called pain a trate it works great and its all natural.  Doesnt really smell horrible like Icy hot either.  Medicine is bad on your liver, but i've heard alternating tylenol and motrin to be effective.

None in pill form, but there are things you can buy in the grocery store.\n\nCamomile tea.  Works good at releiving stress.\n\nClub soda.  Most club soda contains quinine which is a natural muscle relaxant.  You can flavor it with Koolaid, or rum. (or both.)

You may be looking for "Mirapex" to treat "Fibromyalgia".\n\nHere's a link to a story about Mirapex being used to treat Fibromyalgia,  \n\nhttp://www.news8austin.com/content/living/health_beat/default.asp?ArID=151477

I have not heard of it either. Sorry\n\nA good treatment option is also taking a combined supplement of glucosamine and chondrontin sulfates. They are both found naturally in cartliage and assist in protecting arthritic joints. They do not re-build the cartliage as this is impossible, but it certainly helps increase range of motion and functionality.\n\nParacetamol is also good for the pain.

Well, it's basically an inflammation.  Anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can be an enormous help.  Unfortunately, oral administration distributes the drug to the whole body, and the place where you need it can be under-treated.  Plus, ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach problems if you start raising the dosage.  \n\nThere is a solution- topical administration.  Ask your doctor for a prescription for ibuprofen cream.  It is usually called something else, like ketoprofen, and can be made with a topical pain-reliever such as bupivicane (like lidocaine).  Keep in mind your doctor may not have heard of it, and that it has to be compounded.  Check your phonebook for local compounding pharmacies so that you can give your doctor their phone number. Typically the cream comes as 10-20% active, which is possible because it will never be in your stomach to cause problems.  Unfortunately, because it has to be compounded, your insurance company will probably not cover it in the same way as regular drugs.  You may be looking at paying $50 for a 4oz jar. \n\nWhen you apply- be sure to really rub and massage the cream into your hands hard for 5-10 minutes.  This will help just as much as the ibuprofen will, because the muscle work will greatly increase blood flow to the area.  Together, massage and anti-inflammatory therapy can provide great relief.\n\nResults vary with patient.  I hope you find it useful.

"Hydroxyzine pam" is most likely HYDROXYZINE PAMOATE (prescription labels sometimes shorten a drug name if it cannot fit on the label).\n\nThe drug is also called "Vistaril", and it is commonly used to treat itching, nausea, or anxiety.

I have had Fibro for 20 years now and am basiscally in the same situtation. I use nutritional supplements and they seem to work really well. I just take a good multiple vitamin and a Magnesium/ Malic Acid combination. I do also take Zanaflex, a muscle relaxer and that helps a lot too.\nI've tried various "herbal remedies" and nothing helped. I also was quite sceptical about taking herbs since they are unregulated by the FDA, can have serious side effects and anything can be in them.\nGood luck!
