Back and Hip Pain - Free At last
Free at last from back and hip pains
When I was in my 20's I used to think that I would live eternally young. Well I didn't believe that, but like most young people I acted it. By not really eating healthy and exercising daily etc.
Like most young people I didn't follow a healthy life style until many years later. Well now I'm over my 40's and find that every morning when I wake up I would be totally stiff and painful in my back. Not really able to straighten up for a while. After a little while of warming up I find that the back pain would subside and leave and I'll be OK.
But I also noticed that when I did leg raises that I would develop hip pain (more like sciatica).
Well everyone says that when you are over 40 you are over the hill, and that my symptoms were of old age so it was natural for me to have back and hip pains. But I didn't swallow that one. Even though I know that any young reader in their 20's would say that I am over the hill but I really don't believe so. (Or maybe i don't want to accept it …hahaha).
Well while searching online for information I stumbled across this new machine called The Pain Zapper. The information presented on the website was interesting. The Pain Zapper looks like a TENS unit but it is much different. The Pain Zapper has various modes for treatment especially the acupressure mode to relieve pain.
Well the unit was not costly and I was tired of having these issues of back and hip pains so I decided to buy it.
But before giving you my experience with back and hip pain and how the pain zapper helped me I want to tell you that I also discovered that certain foods were causing or aggravating my back pain.
I realized that when I stopped eating wheat and high protein foods (soy, meats etc) that after a few days my back was much improved and not as painful in the morning. Adding an exercise program to my schedule also made a big difference.
When I received The Pain Zapper I studied the manual. The manual tells you where to put the electrodes for different types of pain. I search for the back and hip pain points and applied the electrodes.
I was recommended to only apply it for 5 minutes and to use the acupressure mode.
I really thought that five minutes would not be enough. But to my surprise my pain had reduced by over 80% with the first application. Wow! I was really surprised.
I was really happy with the results I obtained because I am the type of person that doesn't like to be taking medications for pains. They only give you temporary relief. I have found that using the pain zapper in acupuncture mode (no needles) keeps me pain free.
Now I find that I don't really need to use it anymore since my back and hip pains have not bothered. But if it does flare up because of certain foods I eat or heavy work then I'll use the pain zapper and I'll be better again in about 5 minutes.
What I like about it is that I can use it with any other type of muscular pain : shoulder pain, knee pain, neck tension, etc
Of course, I really recommend that you follow a complete healthy life-style. You should:
1) Exercise no less than 4 times a week
2) Do a careful analysis of your diet to find out if any of the foods you are eating may be causing or aggravating your back pains. I know that many who suffer from these pains have at some time been injured in someway. But even in these cases avoiding certain high protein foods and animal fat can help in reducing inflammation.
3) And I highly recommend using the pain zapper for instant pain relief.

To avoid making this article too long, I am going to try and get to the point. First, you must attack all the factors involved in Thrombocytopenia to be able to come up with an effective ITP treatment. Before we go on, remember always to consult a physician knowledgeable in natural medicine before trying to do anything yourself. This is not a game. ITP is a serious disease and requires medical and naturopathic supervision.
Immune Thrombocytopenia doesn't cause a lot of symptoms. Other than the bleeding reflected in the bruises and the red small dots on the skin (petechiae). And of course another most common symptom is bleeding gums. Usually adults with chronic refractory ITP live for years with a low platelet count of 30,000 without any serious side effects.
Are you hoping to find a method that will boost your low platelet count back to normal levels? Are you not responding to steroid medications? Many people who take prednisone do not respond very well to it. And you have probably tried other harsh methods that I rather not mention.
As you already know, platelets are an important factor in coagulation. They are needed to prevent bleeding. But for this you need to have at least 150,000 of them in your blood test to be in the normal range. The upper end of the range goes up to 450,000.
You have low blood platelets and are wondering how effective natural remedies can be for this problem. You have probably tried a few remedies and haven't seen much change. You have stopped responding to conventional medicine alone. So as a result you are searching for alternatives.
