REVIEWING HIP REPLACEMENT PAIN RELIEVERS
Who is hip replacement for?
Hip replacement is usually considered once other therapies, such as pain medications, have failed. Most people undergo hip replacement as a result of osteoarthritis of the hip joint. But you might also consider hip replacement if you experience severe pain, loss of motion or deformity of your hip joint. Hip replacement is also used in people with hip injuries, rheumatoid arthritis and other medical conditions, such as a bone tumor or bone loss due to insufficient blood supply (avascular necrosis).
Symptoms that might lead you to consider hip replacement include:
Pain that keeps you awake at night
Little or no relief from pain medications
Difficulty walking up or down stairs
Trouble standing from a seated position
Having to stop activities you enjoy, such as walking, because you're in too much pain
Hip replacement used to be an option primarily for adults age 60 and above. But improved technology has made strong and longer lasting artificial joints that are feasible for more active people, including younger people. However, active people face the possibility of another surgery to replace worn out artificial hip joints after 15 or 20 years.

How do you prepare for hip replacement?
Before surgery you'll meet with your orthopedic surgeon for an examination. The surgeon will ask about your medical history to make sure you're healthy enough to undergo surgery and will also ask about any medications you're taking. The surgeon will physically examine your hip, paying attention to the range of motion in your joint and the strength of the muscles around your hip. Also expect blood tests and an X-ray.
This preoperative evaluation is a good opportunity for you to ask questions about the procedure. And if you have any concerns about the surgery, be sure to ask.
Blood loss during surgery can occur, and having surplus blood on hand minimizes the chances for complications. For this reason, your surgeon may recommend that you have blood drawn and stored before surgery. This way, your own blood can be used for the transfusion if needed.

How is hip replacement performed?
CLICK TO ENLARGE
Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the femoral head — the "ball" of your thighbone — with a metal ball. The metal ball attaches to a metal stem that fits into your thighbone. A plastic and metal socket is implanted into your pelvic bone to replace the damaged socket. The prosthetic parts, which mimic the natural design of your hip, fit together and function like a normal hip joint.
Artificial hip joints come in many varieties. Generally your surgeon decides which hip joint is the best for you. Materials used in making the prostheses include a combination of durable, wear-resistant plastic and metals, including stainless steel and titanium. Implants are biocompatible — meaning they're designed to be accepted by your body — and they're made to resist corrosion, degradation and wear.
Hip replacement surgery usually takes two to three hours, during which time you'll be under general or regional anesthesia. During the operation, the surgeon separates your thighbone from the socket. Working between the large hip muscles, the surgeon removes the diseased or damaged bone and tissue, leaving healthy bone and tissue intact. The artificial socket is pressed into place. The top end of the thighbone is hollowed out to allow insertion of the metal stem with the attached ball. The ball and the socket join to form the new hip joint.
After surgery you're moved to a recovery area for a few hours while your anesthesia wears off. Nurses or other anesthesia aides watch your blood pressure, pulse, alertness, pain or comfort level and your need for medications.
What happens after hip replacement surgery?
You'll likely stay in the hospital for a few days while you recover. As early as the day after your surgery, you may be encouraged to sit up and even try walking with crutches or a walker. A physical therapist may help you with some exercises that you can do in the hospital and at home to speed recovery. Before you leave the hospital, you and your caregivers will get tips on caring for your new hip.
Planning ahead can make it easier for you to recover at home. For example, arrange to have a friend or relative prepare some meals for you. You might also need to make some modifications to your home, such as getting a raised toilet seat.
Activity and exercise must be a regular part of your day to regain the use of your joint and muscles. Your physical therapist will recommend strengthening and mobility exercises and will help you learn how to use a walking aid, such as a walker or crutches. As therapy progresses, you'll gradually increase the weight you put on your leg until you're able to walk without assistance.
About six to eight weeks after surgery, you'll have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to make sure your hip is healing properly. If recovery is progressing well, most people resume their normal activities by this time — even if in a limited fashion.
Results of hip replacement surgery
The odds of a successful recovery are in your favor. Hip replacement surgery is successful more than 90 percent of the time.
Expect your new hip joint to reduce the pain you felt before your surgery and increase the range of motion in your joint. But don't expect to do anything you couldn't do before surgery. High-impact activities — such as running or playing basketball — may never get your doctor's approval. But in time, you may be able to swim, play golf, walk or ride a bike comfortably.
Risks of hip replacement surgery
Hip replacement surgery is generally safe, but as with any surgery, complications can occur. Although some complications are serious, most can be treated successfully. In rare circumstances, complications can include:
Blood clots. These clots in the leg veins can form as a result of decreased movement of your leg after surgery, as well as from injury to the veins during surgery. Your doctor usually gives you blood-thinning medications after your surgery to try to prevent clots from forming. Compression devices, such as elastic stockings, and exercise to increase blood flow through the veins in your legs also can reduce your risk.
Infection. Infections can occur at the site of your incision and in the deeper tissue near your new hip. Most infections are treated with antibiotics, but a major infection near your prosthesis may require surgery to remove and replace the prosthesis.
Dislocation. Certain positions can cause the ball of your new joint to become dislodged. To avoid this, don't bend more than 90 degrees at the hip and don't let your leg cross the midline of your body. Surgery usually isn't necessary to relocate your hip joint.
Loosening. Over time your new joint may loosen, causing pain in your hip. Surgery might be needed to fix the problem.
Breakage of the prosthesis. Though rare, your artificial hip can break several years after surgery. Another surgery would be required to replace the broken joint.
Change in leg length. Your surgeon takes steps to avoid the problem, but occasionally your new hip may make your leg longer or shorter than the other one. Sometimes this is caused by weakness in the muscles surrounding your hip. In this case, strengthening those muscles can resolve the issue.
Joint stiffening. Sometimes the soft tissues around your joint harden, making it difficult to move your hip — a process called ossification. This usually isn't painful. If you're at risk of ossification, your doctor may recommend medications or radiation therapy to prevent it from happening.
Talk with your surgeon about any concerns you might have before surgery. He or she can help you understand your risk of complications.
Looking ahead
A new technique is being used for some hip replacement surgeries. Minimal incision hip replacement uses the same prosthesis to replace the hip joint, but the surgery is performed in a way that requires only a 3- to 5-inch incision — a departure from the current 10- to 12-inch incision. Some studies have shown that people who undergo minimally invasive hip replacement have an easier and less painful recovery, spend less time in the hospital and have fewer complications. But other studies haven't found this. More studies and longer follow-up are needed to evaluate minimally invasive techniques.

Running Injuries Cures And Pain Relief
The majority of running injuries occur from overtraining and not using the correct stretching exercises. With a careful and gradual increase in your running you should be able to avoid many overtraining injuries. And the key is to: "Avoid doing too much too soon." Your progress in mileage and speed should be a gradual one. An unrelenting increase in mileage from one week to the next will ultimately result in a break down. It is important to keep in mind the principle of hard days and easy days being interspersed and also hard and easy weeks. Mileage should usually only be increased approximately 10 per cent per week. Every third week, you should drop back a small amount. For most runners one or two days a week, at least, should be devoted to rest or non-running activities. This gives your body a chance to recover and strengthen itself. It is helpful to maintain a running diary. This should contain your mileage, course and brief note on how you felt. It may help trace the origin of problems related to overtraining.
http://www.qualitypainrelief.com QUALITY PAIN RELIEF THE NATURAL WAY
You should always ease into speed work. One way to ease into speed work would be by throwing in a few short distance surges into your normal runs. Gentle hill work, prior to speed work has also been recommended by some coaches. Fartlak runs may also be used. Track work outs should occur after you have accomplished some faster paced running during the course of your routine runs and should not be overly ambitious at first.
Replace your running shoes frequently. Shock absorbing capability will diminish gradually and may be inadequate after 350 to 550 miles. The upper of the shoe may not show much wear, but the shock absorption may still be gone. If you are running 20 miles per week, you should be replacing your shoes between 4 and 8 months depending upon your shock absorption needs. It is always cheaper to replace your shoes than to make a visit to the doctors office.
Make sure that you eat a healthy diet. Avoid fad diets and unbalanced approaches to weight loss. Be certain to take in an adequate amount of calcium and that your vitamin requirements are met. Many young, active professional runners add calcium supplements to their diet to make certain that their calcium needs are achieved. “Replace your running shoes frequently...it is always cheaper to replace your shoes than to make a visit to the doctors office. ”
Regular stretching may also help reduce injuries. Runners frequently develop tightness in the posterior muscle groups. This includes the hamstrings and the calf muscles. The quadriceps and anterior shin muscles may become relatively weak, due to muscular imbalance. The abdominal muscles also tend to be weak on runners who do not exercise them.
The calf (achilles) should be gently stretched and so should the hamstrings. The best stretch for the calf muscles is the "wall stretch". I recommend stretching one set of leg muscles at a time. One leg is back, knee straight, the other leg is forward with the knee bent. The leg that is back is being stretched. Ten repetitions holding for 10 seconds each is ideal. There are several different stretches to choose from for the hamstrings: Forward bends with the knees slightly bent, knee to chest or leaning forward with the leg out straight in front of you all work. It is important to not aggravate your back while performing hamstring stretches. The FAQ on Stretching is a good source of information about a variety of aspects of stretching.
George Sheehan recommended a revised set of his "magic six" in several of his columns and in his book "Running To Win", Rodale Press,1991. Follows is a slightly modified version of Dr. Sheehan's Magic Six:
Magic Six, Plus Two
Wall Push-Up: This is basically the calf stretch described above. My version stretches one leg at a time. Stand with the rear foot approximately two to three feet from the wall. The rear leg should be straight, the front leg is bent and your hands touch the wall. Feet point straight ahead, heels are on the ground. Hold for 10 seconds, switch legs, repeat 10 times.
Hamstring Stretch: Straighten one leg, place it, with the knee locked, on a foot stool. Bend your body and bring your head towards the leg. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Switch sides, repeat 10 times.
Knee Clasp: Lie on a firm surface. A carpeted floor or grass is best. Bring both knees to your chest. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times. This stretches the hamstrings and lower back.
Chest Push-Up: Lie on the floor with your abdoman pressed flat on to the floor. Place your hands flat on the floor, beneath your shoulders. Push your chest up with your arms and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times.
Backward Stretch: While standing straight, place the palms of your hands against the small of your back. Tighten your buttocks and bend backwards. Hold for 10 seconds, relax, repeat 5 times.
Shin Splinter: This is performed to strenthen the shins. Sit on a table with your legs dangling over the side. Place a 3 to 5 pound weight over your toes. Flex your foot at the ankle (bend it up). Hold for 6 seconds, repeat 5 times.
Straight Leg Lifts: This is performed to strengthen the quadriceps. Lying on the floor. Flex one knee to approximately a right angle. Lift the other leg rapidly to between 30 and 60 degrees. Lower and repeat 10 times. Switch legs, repeat 5 times and work up to 10 sets of 10 repetitions.
Bent Leg Sit-Up: This strenthens the abdominals. Dr. Sheehan recommended that the sit up be a gradual one rather than a rapid thrust forward. It should feel as if you are moving forward one vertebrae at a time. Lie on the floor with your knees bend. Come forward to a postion 30 degrees from the floor. Lie back and then repeat 20 times.

NATURAL RELIEF FOR CHRONIC PAIN
Treatment of chronic pain usually involves medicines and therapy. Medicines used for chronic pain include pain relievers, antidepressants and anticonvulsants. Different types of medicines help people with different types of pain. You usually use long-acting medicines for constant pain. Short-acting medicines treat pain that comes and goes.
Several types of therapy can help ease your pain. Physical therapy (such as stretching and strengthening activities) and low-impact exercise (such as walking, swimming or biking) can help reduce the pain. However, exercising too much or not at all can hurt chronic pain patients. Occupational therapy teaches you how to pace yourself and how to do ordinary tasks differently so you won't hurt yourself. Behavioral therapy can reduce your pain through methods (such as meditation and yoga) that help you relax. It can also help decrease stress.
http://www.qualitypainrelief.com
Lifestyle changes are also an important part of treatment for chronic pain. Getting regular sleep at night and not taking daytime naps should help. Stopping smoking helps, too, because the nicotine in cigarettes can make some medicines less effective. Smokers also have more pain than nonsmokers.
Most pain treatments will not take away all of your pain. Instead, treatment should reduce how much pain you have and how often it occurs. Talk to your doctor to learn how to best control your pain.

REVIEWING CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF
There are 2 types of pain: acute and chronic. Acute pain doesn't last long and usually goes away as your body heals. Chronic pain lasts at least 6 months after your body has healed. Sometimes, when people have chronic pain they don't know what is causing it. Along with discomfort, chronic pain can cause low self-esteem, depression and anger, and it can interfere with your daily activities GET INSTANT PAIN RELIEF http://www.qualitypainrefief.com 
Natural backpain medicine
Medicines given in shots into the skin or a muscle can work even if you're nauseated or vomiting. However, the injection site usually hurts for a short time.
Pain relief medicines can be injected into a vein through a small tube called an intravenous (IV) catheter. The tip of the tube stays in your vein all the time that the medicine is being used. Medicine given this way goes through your body fast, so it starts to work quickly. This method of pain relief works well for brief pain.
http://www.qualitypainrelief.com
With a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump, you can control your own doses of pain medicine. When you begin to feel pain, you push a button to inject medicine into your vein; a small tube must first be put into your vein. If you use the PCA pump, you have to learn how to use it and when to use it.
Pain medicine can also be put into your back through a small tube called an epidural catheter. This method works well when you're having surgery on your chest or your stomach. It takes a specially trained doctor, called an anesthesiologist, to put the small tube in your back. This person also watches you for problems that can happen several hours after the pain medicine is given

But many people won't know what caused their slipped disk. In most cases, slipped disks and other back pain can be relieved by following a few simple methods.

Don't lift by bending over. Lift an object by bending your knees and squatting to pick up the object. Keep your back straight and hold the object close to your body. Avoid twisting your body while lifting.
Push rather than pull when you must move heavy objects.
If you must sit at your desk or at the wheel of a car or truck for long hours, break up the time with stops to stretch.
Wear flat shoes or shoes with low heels (1 inch or lower).
Exercise regularly. An inactive lifestyle contributes to lower back pain. http://www.qualitypainrelief.com/
