I was wondering if anyone had tried to use the sauna or cold/ice baths to manage pain?

Have you tried to relieve pain with a sauna or ice bath? Is it successful? Where do you go for these services or do you do it at home? How frequently do you do it?

Take care,

@LizziB No I don’t do this. I’m having a shot of a steroid put in my spine this morning for pain. I can’t walk or stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Hopefully this helps. We have a David Phelps concert this Friday.

@LizziB Ice baths make me feel worse. Heat takes the edge off, but there is nothing that takes the pain away.

I've tried using both, but sauna helps me more. Relaxes my muscles and eases tension, especially after a workout or a long day. Besides, I passed some treatments at physiotherapy toronto which put me back on track.

Actually this method is quite unscientific. There are many [This content has been moderated by an administrator for violating Carenity’s Terms of Use.] oriental medicine methods that can be consulted. I find it benign and highly effective. It can be studied and approached more.

I use the hot tub frequently. It is set at it's highest temperature, but I've acclimated to it and wish the temp went a bit higher! I use the jets on pressure points, too. I only stay in for about 20 minutes at a time.

@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.
