Pain needs patience.Pain alerts the person of something wrong with them, that leads to a doctor for the treatment or to get rid of the pain.
Considering the pain as a boon to the mankind, let me write few lines on the above topic “Pain needs patience”. Imagine when we don’t experience pain at all, despite of all the health ailments, what could have happened, there would be NO alert of being in to health issue. Pain alerts the person of something wrong with them, that leads to a doctor for the treatment or to get rid of the pain.Here we refer to the physical pain only, among’st the pain indications, many are acute & few are chronic.
Let’s take musculoskeletal pain, not only the person experience pain but by & large gets affected by the moments of the hands & limbs, we call it as mobility issue with pain- Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, Ankylosing spondylitis, Back pain etc. These indications happen to be chronic& they last for life. It’s the known fact that it’s a life style disorder raised out of auto immune disease. We are more prone to have this, since our eating habits, thinking habits, living habits, food adulteration, are quite good enough to suffer auto immune disease. There by our own immune system will damage our joints.
When we suffer, our primary expectation is first my pain is reduced, later the cause. What options we have for this? -Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Physiotherapy, Marma therapy, Acupressure, Acupuncture, Yoga, Cupping therapy, list can go on & on. We avail these options on reference or experience, depending on our belief & confusion. Few of us have the habit of starting but less patience after some time, we call off the treatment & switch to something else. We judge the treatment failure. Given a serious try & adhering to the doctors instructions for the period suggested can help, but we do not.
Allopathy:
Physicians, Orthopedic surgeon, Rheumatologists, Spine surgeon, General physicians, Family physicians do treat joint pains, in their own levels & exposure again depends on the age of the patient, post 65 yrs. Unbearable knee pain will result in TKR (total knee replacement) and surgeons will operate to relieve pain & enhance the mobility to walk. Apart from TKR, HIP replacement, spine surgery, implants indications can be done.
Most of the pain which is bearable but coming in our way of normal life & mobility, we go to doctors other than surgeons, most often we are treated with medicines. NSAID’s (Non-Steroidal Inflammatory Drugs) very much in use, from phenyl butazones, Ibuprofen, diclofenac, aceclofenac, celecoxib, eterocoxib & few more have been useful to us, but anything more is always a concern, one may land in to liver damage after long term usage of NSAIDs. Immediate relief is the boon & curse, we ignore the duration of prescription from doctors, we continue on our own for months& years, this cause side effects.
Ayurveda:
It has 31 plant source ingredients which can help us in joint pains, primarily, Boswellia serrata (salai guggul), many more ingredients in tabs & capsules for oral consumption or oil to massage. Known for slow effect, long term safety, good for those who believe & has patience for pain relief with very less side effects. There are plenty of massage therapy to relieve pain, pancha karma being popular.
Physiotherapy & Yoga:
Basically, body training, working on our musculoskeletal system. Yoga relaxes body & muscles, there by pain relief. Stretches will provide increased mobility & flexibility.
Ultrasound therapy:
Using sound waves to treat medical problems, particularly musculoskeletal problems such as swelling due to injuries (sprains, tendinitis, bursitis) was prevalent therapy for decades. Its use is so widespread that it practically defines physical therapy.
Interferential therapy :
The application of low frequency electrical current to stimulate nerve activity. This is designed to give you pain relief and increase blood flow to the injured area of your body.
Wax treatment :
Acupressure and Acupuncture:
Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique similar in principle to acupuncture. It is created on the notion of life energy which flows over “meridians” in human body. For treating, physical force is applied on acupuncture tips to dissipate blockages in these meridians. Force may be applied by hand, elbow, or with several devices.
Acupuncture is a treatment by injecting thin needles to a person’s skin at definite points on human body, at different depths. Research proposes that it may help to get rid of pain, and it is also helpful for many other complaints.
Marma therapy:
In recent past taking acceptance much faster for its faster actions & results as we see & experience, Marma therapy works on the specified marma points for various ailments, pains. Ancient Indians were practicing Marma therapy to manipulate a vital energy (prana) in the body and help in healing process. Marma therapy is based on the use of 107 points in the body to access the body and mind.
Cupping therapy:
Cupping therapy is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It comprises placing cups on skin for the purpose of suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow. Protagonists also take suction help to assist the flow of “qi” in the body. They have the reputation of healing back pain&pain in the joints.
Pain IS NOT desirable ONE, ITS ALSO INEVITABLE. So when pain knocks your body take care because like legends say, we have only one to this life,let’s pamper our body with NO PAIN. Again trust & patience can only help, you get the results of these streams, there has been mixed results between people who took it seriously & not seriously.
