This tens unit or electrical massage unit for sore muscles is over 50% on sale. It also comes with an acupuncture pen for trigger points or hot spots. Electric stimulation gives the muscles a deep massage. It increases the circulation, helps to get rid of toxins , increase muscle strength, decreases nerve pain. The pads are self adhesive. The unit is used usually used for 20 minutes at a higher setting. However it can be worn for hours at a lower setting. What is best, is that it is portable.

: Arthritis Cream

Arthritis can really flareup in cold weather and often weather fronts cause more stiffness aching inflammation in our joints. Moist heat used for 15 minutes can decrease pain. Anti-inflammatory meds can also decrease pain and stiffness. Doing a simple range of motion stretches or yoga helps with arthritis pain. Good nutrition allieves some arthritis pain such as glucosamines to your diet. A cream that is very helpful for arthritis is capsaicin cream. This cream not only feel hot so that the pain level is lower but a substance “P” that causes pain is absorbed by the chemicals in red pepper. This cream will seem hotter when immersed in water. To start with use a small amount and you may want wear gloves. This is good for keeping hands and feet warm when skiing. The wood cutters use it because if they get cut, red pepper clots wounds faster. If you can not tolerate how hot it feels, then cortisone cream helps cool it down.

Soothe Bursitis

Soothe Bursitis

Bursitis is usually caused by doing a repetitive activity or excessive vibration. Bursitis in a joint feels like a big deep bruise. It is actually a fluid cushion in between the muscle and the joints,(kind of like an oil sac to lubricate the joint) and it swells becoming inflamed . When someone has bursitis, it hurts to sleep on the injured area so a pillow top mattress cover helps to make the sleeping area softer. Ice also help decrease the inflamed area pressing on surrounding tissue. Having had bursitis myself,I have also found it very helpful to use a massager on the tender area before going to bed. This helps desensitize the tender area and allow a better nights sleep.

WEIGHT SET

Starting a weight lifting program (especially if you are a beginner or older),..it is wise to start with lower weights. Now for senior citizens it is recommended to do 10 to 12 reps/ 3tx’s per day versus 30 reps at once. Start with a light weight. When it is easy and you are not sore the next day, increase your weight by 2 lbs..Ideally work upper body one day and next day work on lower body.
Try to exercise at least 3 times a week and incorporate an endurance exercise like walking or bike riding, etc. If you get sore, stretch and ice.

RICE FORMULA

The Rice Formula

For sport injuries ,a good fix is the RICE FORMULA. Which stands for rest, ice , compression, and elevation. A person is always safe with ice compared to using heat because heat can cause swelling. However it it wise to put a paper towel or wash cloth under the ice pack to prevent skin irritation. If a person breaks a bone and you ice it right away , then the Dr. will be able to cast it sooner. Some of the newer ice packs can be used for heat or ice. Contrast treatments are very affective using 15 min. of heat followed by 15 min. of ice.

A few days ago, my Mom called and asked , what do I do with the nagging shoulder pain I get after cleaning messes from my new puppy. I told her, she could order one of our nice shoulder ice packs. I thought that she could very well have a touch bursitis. By leaning over and doing gentle relaxed arm circles, she can help lubricate her shoulder joint. Another useful product is Bio freeze : roll-on , spray, or cream. It is easy to use and is used to numb pain as a cryotherapy. So ice , gentle exercise , and Bio freeze will surely make her shoulder pain better . At least she knows my number.

I have always loved sports , theater, singing, dancing ,and art. My son, Rob was All-State football player in high school.He was always double teamed at 6’4″ and 215 lb. so he did receive an head injury He also had a college scholarship in wrestling. His 2nd year he developed schizophrenia . My other son , Dave had a head injury from a car wreck. He is in prison because between drinking and his head injury he lost his memory and could not defend himself on a false charge.
