Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Greets! I recently tore muscles in my right knee by falling down a wooden flight of stairs and am undergoing medical treatment for the injury but was wondering if anyone here may have any alternatives to the pain medications that were prescribed for pain. I am using ice therapy for the swelling and it does alleviate some of the pain but I still have enough pain to put me into tears at times. I can weight bear and am still walking with the aide of crutches. I have been using tiger balm for the muscle aches as well and have no luck. What I am seeking advise on is herbal alternatives to the pain medication. I know that I do so at my own risk and ask here knowing that some of you may have had the same experiences. I don't wish to rely on the pain pills as I am an active, well not so much lately, mom of 2 daughters (one teen and one preteen). I have a full schedule and need to keep my wits about me. Does anyone have any suggestions that I can take to my doctor and research as an alternative to the pain meds that make me loopy? Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
