Any home pain remedies?

@savsavage
From time to time kids in tumbling or martial arts would get joint dislocations, sprains, hip pointers and such. The pain comes from the inflammation of the torn muscles and ligaments. Besides the usual therapies like hot and cold compresses, anti-inflammatories like Advil we used a Chinese product called "Tiger Balm" which is a liniment that deeply penetrates with heat to the injured site. Another similar liniment is Japanese in origin used by Jujitsu students called "Okazaki" liniment. It's harder to get because it's mostly made by the martial artists and not available at a pharmacy.

I've tried both for injuries...and I endorse both. Okazki's works a bit better and faster but Tiger Balm is good too.

There is also acupressure and acupuncture which is not delivered directly on the site of the injury. It takes an expert to deliver this but the effects are amazing. They somehow block the pain receptors. When I have had it done, I got so relaxed I slept deeply for hours and awoke still feeling sore but a whole heck of a lot less in pain.

My martial teacher also employed a hypnosis technique which put one into a trance so that the pain was observed by the injured person ... and as the trance got deeper so did the pain become more distant.

Good luck to you, savsavage, I hope you feel better soon.

heat and ice alternately

you should check with your doctor. they could do daily injections of a local pain killer into the area of pain in the shoulder. might have to be twice a day. any of the caine type of pain killers would work in it. the problem with general pain killers which are usually opiates is they make you vomit. i rather have the pain then vomit. doctor can also inject cortosteroids to speed up the healing of the shoulder.

Get diagnosed by a doctor. You may be given another analgesic. And you need it definitely diagnosed. Cortisone injections may help. Physio may help. That is why you need to see a professional.
