I would suggest reading the directions inside the box.  they generally suggest that you lie on your side with one leg bent, I believe, and stay lying down for a certain amount of time.

I have IBS and I do a Castor oil cleansing one weekend a month and have much fewer problems for the other three weeks. I start by inserting two bisacodyl suppositories and then drinking four ounces of Castor oil. In about an hour I am having flush bowel movements. I take six dulcolax pills. Be sure to drink at least 8 to 10 ounces of water or more an hour while doing this. This process will make you go until what come out is clear. After doing this eat lightly for a few day and include yogurt to put a good flora in your system. I know many people will disagree with this but it works great for me. People are always afraid of what they have not tried or is not common practice!!!

Honestly that sounds like me in my calculus class during 1st period.  Lower back pain can be caused by weak abdominal muscles, and headaches can be caused by dehydration.  Drink more water and see if that helps with the headaches, your memory, and maybe even your fatigue, and if you are a little overweight like I am, try doing some sit-ups, that can help with your back.

It's a long process I am going through the same thing.  Take a lot of IB profen it's good for inflammation.  Go to the gym and work your quads, eat bannanas.  Lay on your back put your hurt leg in the air and try to bend it down as much as possible.  It's going to hurt you have to try to get over the pain.  Every time you bend it try to make it go lower and lower.  This will help but you have to work with it and do everything your told to do.

Not dangerous but a little irritating!! I like several castle soap enemas and then a nice sea salt enema follow up. Plain water is absorbed way too much a teaspoon or two of sea salt makes it much better. Ivory soap is also very good. Just be sure never to use anything detergent or antibacterial!!!!

In my experience pain medications do not work. My best advise is make sure to get plenty of sleep, take a multiple vitamin, keep active in at least low impact sports, and consider Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements (consult the doctor or a nutritionist to have your Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful), meditation does help some in keeping the pain back if you can seperate your mind from the pain, and try to take 2-3 warm Epson Salt baths a week (Epson salt contains Magnesium and soaking in a warm tub of it helps to get the mineral into the body. Magnesium aids the muscles in using oxygen and when the level is low which is typical in Fibro it can cause are cramps, spasms, and pain.) Also, Fibromyalgia is a neurotransmitter disorder certain foods can trigger similiar symptoms to Fibro. Try eliminating Monsodium Glutamate from your diet. I did and some of my symptoms (chronic headaches and nausea) went away. It is in everything from Doritos to chicken soup. A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". If you need adjustments try to see a D.O. instead of a chiropractor. Chiros tend to be a little more violent in their adjustments and can cause more pain in your soft tissue. D.O.s do a more passive adjustment which I've found to be much more beneficial. Otherwise, learn your limits and pace yourself.\nGood luck!

Since you have two children to take care of you should enlist the help of anyone competent enough to help you with them.  You alone could use some of that help just to keep you off your foot.  Ouch!!!  Elevate your foot to help with the swelling.  Take Extra Strength Tylenol when you need more pain relief than what the doctor gave you, with his permission of coarse, and allow time to do what it needs to do to heal your foot.  Ibueprofin is good for relieving swelling, but it can be very hard on your stomach lining especially if you already have any kind of trouble with your stomach.  Make sure you take it with some food.  Lots of water helps every process of the body on the cellular level, but be sure you are close enough to your bathroom so that you don't have to do much walking.  Get on line and look up the GNC  or other nutritional stores to see what is available.  They could even send you products in overnight mail.  It sounds like the best thing for you though is to enlist the help of the kids for whatever they are big enough to do for you and themselves.  It is a good chance for them to learn how to pull together as a family in times of need.  If they are too small though then that obviously won't help much.  Also, if money is an issue, in our area we can call the local county Health and Human Resources Center and ask for temporary assistance.  This could mean someone coming in to help you with yourself and/or the kids.  Some states and counties are stricter than other but it couldn't hurt to look into it.  If money isn't an issue, then try hiring a temporary "nanny" or house nurse.  Hope this gives you some ideas.  Feel better soon.  I would help you myself if I could.  Good Luck!

I had an intestinal blockage and I had to get an enima because I couldn't go #2.  It hurt bad.  Enimas are last resort.

You can do a far better job yourself!!! You know your body far better than anyone else!!! Do a Castor oil cleansing....See Sources for explicit details. Obtain a Fleet Bagenema set it is large volume and holds 1500ML. Relax and take in the whole 1500ML each time(Ask at Osco pharmacy - they will order you one - Cost is between five to ten dollars) and take tap water enemas (or distilled water)until what comes out is clear!!! Be sure to use warm water and to add a teaspoon or two of table salt to each enema to cut down on absorption. After a few 1500ML enemas it is possible to take 3000ML don't rush doing this though you will have to work up to this. After a good clean out like this it is good to eat yogurt to put a good flora in your bowel. I added yogurt to my regular diet to maintain a healthy flora. I do this procedure once a month with great benefit to my health. Feel free to write to my email with any questions. Relax - Do not be afraid!! Good Health to You!!!

Ouch! Nerve pain like that is just awful. If you haven't experienced it, you can't explain it to someone else. It is so intense! When I was in my forties, I wrenched my lumbar vertebrae helping a service man move a 300-lb. gas cylinder. I even heard it when my back went out. I went to a chiropractor, and he cleared that out in ONE visit. Until you find a way you are willing to try, use ice to reduce the inflammation. When you do that to your back, everything gets swollen up and pushed tightly together. The ice pack makes the muscles contract and open up inside so all the parts can move again. This tightening up is called "splinting," and is a natural mechanism your body uses to protect that painful place in your back. The ice pack should be kept on twenty to twenty-five minutes per hour, possibly four times during the day. You will notice it getting much easier to bear. The ice pack also tells your brain to send more blood to that area, which helps to flush all that congestion away from the sore spot. I strongly urge you to see a chiropractor. In ONE visit, you will be able to immediately find relief to a very considerable extent from what has probably been driving you up the walls. The problem with this kind of pain is that it is relentless and does not stop while you are trying to sleep at night. If you begin to miss your sleep cycle, you will get strung out, crabby and irritable, and that just adds to it. So - if you are not keen on chiropractors, go to your family doctor instead, but do not sit home, in agony and immobilized in a chair. That would be just too stressful. Call a best friend to drive you to and from, if that would help you. Reach out. I am hoping others in this column at Yahoo! Answers will also offer you ways to get better really quickly. Please accept this huge load of love and support from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. (I am 63 years old.)

Hey. Im a MA at a pain management clinic and you're right. All this basically is, is that you pulled something in your lower back. If you have a primary care physician ( PCP ), get a referal to see a pain managment dr.. If this pain does come and go, then you wouldn't want it to be anything major in the long run by keep putting it off. A pain management doc she be called in for this. We have alot of patients come into the clinic with this type of problem and the dr orders physical therapy to work the kink out. By this being only a problem from exercise and not fibromyalgia, you should be fine with a little light back work-out to work it out. But, still, go see a pain management doc to give you direct orders.
