Feeling Pain or Numbness? 4 Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

It’s easy to tell when you have a cut or a fever. A herniated disc can be more difficult to detect, as the symptoms can occasionally be vague. Sometimes they can be chalked up to simple aging. It’s important to pay attention to the signs, though, so you can seek one of the many herniated disc treatments quickly and feel better faster. Here are four symptoms of a herniated disc.

Arm or Leg Pain

Depending on the exact location of the herniated disc, you’ll feel pain in various locations. If the disc is in your lower back, the most intense pain will be in your buttocks, thighs, and calves. It may be only one leg or both. If the disc is in your neck, your shoulder and arm will feel the most intense pain. In either case, sneezing or coughing may cause the pain to shoot into your arm or leg, as can shifting your spine into certain positions.

Numbness or Tingling

Similar to the “pins and needles” feeling that you get when a body part has fallen asleep, you may feel numbness or tingling in the body part served by the nerves affected by the herniated disc. This numbness or tingling may not affect the entire body part. It may only affect a particular area, such as the thumb side of an arm, or the little toe and outside of a foot and leg.

Weak Muscles

The herniated disc affects the nerves that serve various muscles. Those muscles tend to weaken. Depending on the area of the disc, this can lead you to stumble or have trouble standing, or it could impair your ability to hold and lift items. Muscle weakness tends to be one of the more serious symptoms of a herniated disc and often requires surgical intervention as quickly as possible.

Back Pain

The back pain may be dull or throbbing, constant or intermittent, and possibly accompanied by stiffness. The disc may also cause muscle spasms, which might be alleviated by a couple of days of rest with ice and heat in a supportive recliner or lying flat with a pillow beneath the knees. Back pain is more likely to be present in the lower back than the neck.

A herniated disc can be a painful experience. If you suspect that your symptoms are caused by a herniated disc, it’s best to get it checked out quickly by a professional, like those at Southwest Florida Neurosurgical & Rehab Associates

Healing Tips: How to Defeat Body Pain & Get Active Again

When you experience chronic pain, it’s difficult to concentrate on anything else. If you’re experiencing pain, know that there are remedies to help you, many of them natural. Here’s a look at some of the causes of pain and the solutions:

Look for Healing Inflammation

Bodily inflammation can be caused by an injury, such as a bad fall or a car accident. However, it can also have its cause in the foods we eat. If you find that you are suddenly experiencing symptoms like joint pain, body aches, or even skin conditions, check your diet. You may be eating foods that cause inflammation.

Some common culprits are eggs, dairy, and meat, though those aren’t the only ones. If you experience a lot of unexplained pain, try eliminating certain foods. If you are sensitive to them and they cause you inflammation, your pain should go away once the inflammation is gone.

Know the Source of Pain

Many people only think of pain as local. For example, if you have ankle instability or plantar fasciitis, you know you have a foot problem. However, did you know that your back pain could be caused by a problem with your feet? Numerous pain issues actually have a different source than the actual site of pain (Your foot and back pain are only one example). If you have a pesky and persistent pain, visit a specialist like Advanced Foot & Ankle Centers of Illinois (or other type of specialist) to have your pain’s mystery source rooted out.

Try Vitamin C

Vitamin C is not only good for you, but it also has some healing properties beyond helping you to get well after a cold. Vitamin C helps reduce inflammation. It’s also a natural pain killer in higher doses. Vitamin C is just one component.

Start Moving

Sometimes, the best anecdote for pain is movement, but when you’re in pain, the last thing you want to do is move. When you are faced with this sort of dilemma, opt for gentle exercises like water sports or even yoga. Prevention recommends poses like the cobra or the butterfly to help deal with pain. These are just some examples of specific movements you can do to alleviate pain.

Fighting off pain sometimes means taking something to alleviate pain in the moment, like a pain killer. At other times, it’s best to take a look at the habits in your life that may be causing you pain. Try one of these pain relievers today for a more pain-free life.

Pain Relief Technology Inventor Inducted into MM&M “Top 40 Healthcare Transformers”

Dr. Amy Baxter of MMJ Labs recognized for advancing drug-free pain relief

ATLANTA--Amy Baxter MD, chief executive officer and founder of MMJ Labs, the industry leader in noninvasive pain relief, was awarded a 2017 Top 40 Healthcare Transformer designation by MM&M magazine.  Baxter was recognized at the MM&M Top 40 Healthcare Transformers dinner and awards in New York City on May 10, 2017.  The dinner followed a full-day conference devoted to helping the biopharma industry go “beyond the pill.”

“Innovation goes beyond invention,” noted Baxter in her acceptance remarks during the dinner. “An invention is a solution, but innovation requires persistent persuasion to implement solutions.”

Baxter’s FDA cleared Cool-Pulse™ technology invention Buzzy® blocks needle pain, and VibraCool® Massaging Ice therapy was launched to reduce opioid use.

The award recognized the former emergency physician’s contributions in pain relief using a neuromodulation technology platform rather than pharmaceutical solutions.  MMJ Labs has created devices that are FDA cleared and clinically proven to block needle, IV access, and plantar fasciitis pain.  The new VibraCool line combines cold and vibratory massage for tendinitis and knee injuries and pain.

The Buzzy device has been proven equivalent to topical anesthetics for pain relief,” states Baxter.  “The exciting thing about VibraCool is that vibration speeds healing and improves blood flow, while ice can reduce inflammation as well as pain.  We are excited for patients using the device to ‘go beyond the pill,’ and reduce the need for medications to combat pain.”

MM&M honors 40 new and established innovators yearly, identifying those who are leading the pharmaceutical industry’s transformation in significant ways.  “Healthcare Transformers” are innovators using technology to reinvent the industry.

“The 2017 Transformers class—our third—has certainly solidified its place alongside the earlier two, blending their indomitable spirit to disrupt and desire to prove that medicines and related technologies benefit patients with a collective acknowledgment that doing so is not a solo effort,” wrote Marc Iskowitz, editor in chief of MM&M.

CIHR Canadian Pain Research summit's groundbreaking collaboration will help in fight against pain

Alicia Bell

Canadian and international pain researchers, clinicians, partners, charities, patients and policymakers discuss the development of a national pain research agenda

From September 18-20, 2016, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is hosting a Canadian Pain Research Summit where researchers, clinicians, partners, charities, patients and policymakers will work together to create a national agenda that will help CIHR Institutes develop new funding opportunities for pain research.

Canada is an international leader in basic and pediatric pain research.  The Government of Canada, through CIHR, has helped address the treatment and quality of care of patients suffering from pain by providing $16 million in annual funding support to over 1,200 physical and psychological pain researchers. Through Canada's Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (SPOR), CIHR and its partners have also created a Chronic Pain Network which specializes in directing new research, training researchers and clinicians, increasing access to care for chronic pain sufferers, and speeding up the translation of the most recent research discoveries into care of patients.  The development of an evidence-based Canadian Pain Research agenda at this summit will help Canadian researchers and clinicians create better care and treatments for patients who suffer from pain in social, psychological or physical ways.

Quotes
"The Government of Canada applauds all participants at the Canadian Pain Research Summit. Their collective effort to address gaps that currently exist between basic research and clinical practice will further the ability to improve treatments for Canadians who suffer from chronic, acute and psychological pain."
The Honourable Jane Philpott
Minister of Health

"CIHR has been a staunch supporter of pain research over the years, most recently through the establishment of a Chronic Pain Network within the framework of Canada's Strategy for Patient Oriented Research. While Canada remains a prominent leader in this field, more needs to be done to address the complexities of pain on a physical, psychological and social level. Through this summit, CIHR is encouraging the type of multi-stakeholder collaboration that will allow the expansion of pain research and its translation into better pain management."
Dr. Alain Beaudet
President, CIHR

Quick Facts

  • In addition to its impact on quality of life, chronic pain costs Canadians $43-$60 billion per year in health care expenses and lost productivity at work (which is more than cancer, heart disease, and HIV combined).
  • Launched in 2011, Canada's SPOR initiative represents federal, provincial and territorial members (including patients, caregivers, researchers, policy makers, charities, private sector and university representatives) who work together to bring innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to health care, and improve quality and accessibility of various treatments.
  • This summit was organized by CIHR Institutes of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (CIHR-IMHA), Aboriginal Peoples' Health (CIHR-IAPH), Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (CIHR-INMHA), Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR), and Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH).

 

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the Government of Canada's health research investment agency. CIHR's mission is to create new scientific knowledge and to enable its translation into improved health, more effective health services and products, and a strengthened health care system for Canadians. Composed of 13 Institutes, CIHR provides leadership and support to more than 13,000 health researchers and trainees across Canada.

MyPainAway After Burn Cream - Review

mypainaway

I recently was given the opportunity to try out MyPainAway After Burn Cream. This cream soothes the pain and discomfort associated with sunburns, wind burns, blisters and minor burns. It is a homeopathic remedy that contains arnica and other homeopathic active ingredients. It doesn't have a strong medicine like smell and goes on non greasy.  I even used it for my own dry skin and it moisturized it perfectly. This multi use cream is great in any situation. The company is also doing a giveaway so that you can get your own and add it to  your own emergency first aid kit or medicine cabinet:

Inspired by the New Movie “Burnt,” Topical BioMedics Announces “Don’t Feel the Burnt” Contest to Win MyPainAway After-Burn Cream

Actors Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller were trained by renowned chef Marcus Wareing to cook haute cuisine dishes while filming the new hit movie Burnt.  Because the actors suffered from burns while filming in the professional kitchen, Topical BioMedics was inspired to launch its “Don’t Feel the Burnt” contest to win tubes of its MyPainAway After-Burn Cream for treating culinary mishaps.

Released nationwide on Friday, October 30th, the film “Burnt” stars Bradley Cooper as obsessive, hot-headed top chef and restaurateur Adam Jones and Sienna Miller as his sous chef Helene.  Because the actors got burned during the course of filming, Topical BioMedics, Inc. was inspired to launch the “Don’t Feel the Burnt” contest to win tubes of the company’s MyPainAway After-Burn Cream formula.

Aurora Paradise, chief operations officer, says, “When I heard that the actors suffered from numerous burns making the movie, I wished they had our safe, natural MyPainAway After-Burn Cream on the set to stop the pain and help them heal.  That’s why we are giving everyone a chance to win our formula to have on hand for any of their own culinary mishaps.”

“Don’t Feel the Burnt” contest may be entered by clicking the following link http://gvwy.io/6s4nmg9 , and contestants will be invited to share their own cooking burn story.  The contest runs from October 30th through November 30th.  There is no purchase necessary, and six winners will be selected at random to win a 6 oz. tube of MyPainAway After-Burn Cream.

The actors were trained to play their roles authentically and hone their culinary skills with coaching from acclaimed Michelin-starred British Chef Marcus Wareing, who worked for Gordon Ramsay and other top chefs before opening his own renowned restaurants in London.  Wareing says, “There was nothing fake about the kitchen. I had to get people dirty and sweaty to make it look like they’ve been working 12-hour days.”  His goal was for everything to be realistic.  “I want to see the cooks cooking. I want to see the stoves on. I want to see them seasoning. I want to see them tasting. I want to see them burning themselves. That’s how a kitchen is.”

Cooper said of the filming of Burnt, “There is the intensity of the kitchen in the movie.  Massive amounts of pressure, time pressure.  It’s hot and dangerous, and you better keep up.  There’s a lot of burning.  Yeah, we got hurt.”

Miller concurs.  “Being a chef is one of the hottest jobs in the world.  It’s really hard, and the environment is challenging.  I have the badge of a few scars to prove it.”

Directed by John Wells, “Burnt” also features Uma Thurman, Emma Thompson, Daniel Bruhl, Lily James, Matthew Rhys and Jamie Dornan.

A Short Walk Around the Office Can Reverse Vascular Dysfunction Caused by Hours at a Computer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2crmlhKWlU

COLUMBIA, Mo. (Sept. 28, 2015) ― Across the country, many employees are seated at desks for the majority of an eight-hour workday. As technology creates an increase in sedentary lifestyles, the impact of sitting on vascular health is a rising concern. Now, researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine have found that when a person sits for six straight hours, vascular function is impaired — but by walking for just 10 minutes after a prolonged period of sitting, vascular health can be restored.

 

“It’s easy for all of us to be consumed by work and lose track of time, subjecting ourselves to prolonged periods of inactivity,” said Jaume Padilla, Ph.D., an assistant professor of nutrition and exercise physiology at the MU School of Medicine and lead author of the study. “However, our study found that when you sit for six straight hours, or the majority of an eight-hour work day, blood flow to your legs is greatly reduced. We also found that just 10 minutes of walking after sitting for an extended time reversed the detrimental consequences.”

 

During the study, the researchers compared the vascular function of 11 healthy young men before and after a period of prolonged sitting. The findings indicated that blood flow in the popliteal — an artery in the lower leg — was greatly reduced after sitting at a desk for six hours. Researchers then had the participants take a short walk, and found that 10 minutes of self-paced walking could restore the impaired vascular function and improve blood flow.

 

“When you have decreased blood flow, the friction of the flowing blood on the artery wall, called shear stress, is also reduced,” Padilla said. “Moderate levels of shear stress are good for arterial health, whereas low levels of shear stress appear to be detrimental and reduce the ability of the artery to dilate. Dilation is a sign of vascular health. The more the artery can dilate and respond to stimuli, the healthier it is.”

 

Many workplaces are sedentary environments, and the researchers said it’s important that people understand the effects of sitting on their vascular health. By breaking up desk time with a short walk, workers can offset the harm caused to vascular blood vessels.

 

“Studies have shown that sitting less can lead to better metabolic and cardiovascular health,” Padilla said. “However, more research is needed to determine if repeated periods of reduced vascular function with prolonged sitting lead to long-term vascular complications.”

 

The study, “Impact of Prolonged Sitting on Lower and Upper Limb Micro- and Macrovascular Dilator Function,” recently was published in Experimental Physiology, the peer-reviewed scientific journal of The Physiological Society. In addition to Padilla, the research team includes Robert Restaino and Seth Holwerda, graduate students in the MU School of Medicine Department of Medical Pharmacology and Physiology; Daniel Credeur, Ph.D., assistant professor of exercise science at the University of Southern Mississippi School of Kinesiology; and Paul Fadel, Ph.D., professor of kinesiology and director of clinical translational science at the University of Texas at Arlington College of Nursing and Health Innovation.
