Chronic Pain In Neck And Back. No Help From Any Treatments. Had Anaphalatic Reaction To Advil. Can Dicofenac Cream Be Used For Chronic Pain?

Hi, my name is Susan. I've had chronic neck & back pain for 10 yrs now. I've tried everything from trigger pt. therapy, acupuncture, prolo injections, botox injections, massage therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and so on. I met a lady today and she told me that diclofenac (10 percent) cream helped her recover. Would I be able to use this product since I had an anaphalactic reaction to Advil 10 yrs. ago. after having dental work. Doctors have told me to avoid NSAIDS and aspirin. This seems like my last hope.

I'm worried because I put my Visa infromation down and it went through as unlimited questions each month which I don't want to do. Will I be charged a fee?

Hi,
To pain you case may be due to problem with bones, vertebrae, joints, muscles, ligaments or deficiencies of calcium, Vitamin D.
To find the basic cause should be first step towards healing.
* A range of blood, urine investigations ray, CT Scan/MRI should be done by an orthopedic doctor's advice. He will suggest suitable medicines after examining you.
*A slow start to reach optimum level of exercises under expert guidance should be learnt & followed regularly. This becomes a better choice many a times.
* Calcium & vitamin D supplement helps.
* Adapt new life style, especially movements to avoid spinal stress.
* Fomentation. Application of muscle relaxant ointments, Reiki are some
Parallel methods for relief.
* Ayurvedic medications are reported well for chronic pains.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
