I thought I would start a new post on everyone's ideas on natural pain treatments.
In the past 6 months I've been using burning nettles leaves for pain relieve on my thumb. It's under control but sore and something I can live with.
3 months ago my right shoulder started bothering me. When I drug my doe out of the creek on the 1st day of gun season I really messed it up. At times I can't lift my arm to drink a cup of coffee. I have a left arm for that but the biggest problem is the pain only gets worse when I lay down to sleep.
Doctor says nothing wrong with the roto cup as its bursitus of the muscle endings. Not much to do for it except excerise. That doesn't help.
Tried DMSO and that's a short time relieve and doesn't last through the night.
This week I went back to the burning nettles treatment. I harvested some green leaves and put in the refrig plus I stripped several plants of the leaves after they were totally dried up.
Now I'm taking a dried leave or so and putting in a clothe wrap, wetting it and tape it on. I put it on about one hour before going to bed and can sleep through the night but the soreness is back in early morning. So I'm going to try 2 hours tonight before going to bed.
WARNING- be sure you don't have a side effects from touching burning nettles. I don't as long as I don't leave it on more than 8 hours. I do have a itch if left on too long and one time left it on for couple days just re-wetting it at times but I developed a raise red spot that went away in couple days.
So does anyone have any other idea on natural pain treatment? Pain medications are of no help to me since I take pain medications for my MS muscle pain. I won't take anything stronger as I will not out of control.
