Who Has Pain?
More than 150 million Americans suffer from some sort of pain. Arthritis and chronic pain symptoms
and conditions affect nearly 70 million Americans, or about one in three adults, making it one of the most
prevalent diseases-- and the leading cause of disability-- in the United States, according to all Centers for
Disease Control.
The most common form, osteoarthritis" involves a breakdown of cartilage, the cushioning tissue
between joints and bones. When cartilage deteriorates, joint motion causes friction that can lead to pain,
stiffness and loss of movement.
Approximately 2.5 million people have Rheumatoid Arthritis or 1% of the US population. The condition is
2 to 3 times more common in women than men in the United States.

What is Pain?
Pain is a universal experience. The degree to which you feel pain and how you react to it, however, are the
results of your own biological, psychological and cultural makeup. Past encounters with painful injury or
illness also can influence your sensitivity to pain and pain treatment as well.
Pain comes in many forms: sharp, jabbing, throbbing, burning, stinging, tingling, nagging, dull and aching.
Pain also varies from mild to severe pain. Severe pain grabs your attention more quickly and generally
produces a greater physical and emotional response than mild pain. Severe pain can also incapacitate
you, making it difficult or impossible to sit, stand, or move.
Chronic pain hangs on after the injury is healed. Pain is generally described as chronic when it lasts 6
months or longer. This is reflected in the word itself. Chronic comes from the Greek word for "time."
As with acute pain, chronic pain spans the full range of sensations and intensity. It can feel tingling, jolting,
burning, dull or sharp. The pain may remain constant, or it can come and go, like a migraine headache that develops
without warning.
Unlike acute pain, however, with chronic pain you may not know the reason for the pain. The original
injury shows every indication of being healed, yet the pain remains and may be even more intense.
Chronic pain can also occur without any indication of injury. Years ago, people who complained of pain
that had no apparent cause were thought to be imagining the misery or trying to get attention. Doctors
now know thats not true. Chronic pain is real!!!
What Causes Chronic Pain?
Frequently, the cause of chronic pain is not well understood. There may be no evidence of disease or
damage to your body tissues that doctors can directly link to your pain.
Sometimes, chronic pain is due to a chronic condition, as can be the case with arthritis, which produces
painful inflammation in your joints, or fibromyalgia, which causes an aching pain in your muscles.
Occasionally, chronic pain may stem from an accident, infection or surgery that damages a peripheral or
spinal nerve. This type of nerve pain that lingers after the original injury heals is called neuropathic
(noor-o-PATH-ik) meaning the damaged nerve, not the original injury, is causing the pain. Neuropathic
pain can also result from diseases such as diabetes or alcoholism.
Once damaged, the nerve may send pain messages that are unwarranted. For example, an increased
blood sugar level associated with diabetes can damage the small nerves in your hands and feet, leaving
you with a painful burning sensation in your fingers and toes.
Little is known about why injured nerves sometimes misfire and send painful messages. However, one
reason is that when a nerve cell is destroyed, the severed end of the surviving fiber can sprout a tangle of
unorganized nerve fibers (neuroma). This bundle of nerve tissue then starts sending spontaneous pain
signals. These fibers also refuse to follow normal checks and balances that control the rest of your
nervous system functioning to keep pain at bay.
The thinking used to be that pain transmission pathways in the peripheral nerves, spinal cord and brain
were hardwired circuits that simply communicated pain signals from injured or diseased parts of the
body to message centers in the brain. But based on recent scientific research, there is new knowledge of
how pain transmission actually works and how the conscious experience of pain is created in the brain.
Sensitization
Although the neurobiology of sensitization is complex, the basic idea behind it is straightforward. When
pain signals are transmitted from injured or diseased tissues, these signals can then activate (sensitize)
pain circuits in the peripheral nervous system, spinal cord and brain.
The process of sensitization can be compared to the volume control on your stereo, amplifying and
sometimes distorting the pain message. The result is a painful condition that is severe and out of
proportion to the disease or original injury. Sensitization may affect all regions of your nervous system
that process pain messages, including the sensing, feeling and thinking centers of your brain. When this
occurs, chronic pain may be associated with emotional and psychological suffering.
Who Is At Risk?
The world is focused on identifying the molecular and cellular processes that cause sensitization. The
results of this research are likely to provide new and better treatments for many types of pain.
Pain most often affects middle-aged or older adults.However, age is not the only risk factor for adults and
children alike.Others factors include genetics, obesity (which can lead to osteoarthritis of the knees),
joint injuries or being born with defective cartilage. Injuring a muscle or joint through an accident, a sports
injury, or a repetitive activity at work can also increase the likelihood that pain in the muscles or joints will
develop.
The purpose of this web site is to bring to you information about pain relief and pain relief products that
have proven pain relief effective but are not invasive in nature...that is...every product on this web site
dealing with pain is either an external application applied pain remedy or taken by mouth as with pills but
not addictive. Pain products that are addictive or delivered by an intravenous method such as from a
hypodermic needle will not be addressed on this web site. This site is about Preventing Pain, Pain
Management and Pain Relief not addiction to products that while effective in the beginning become
addictive over time and cause more problems than they solve.
Our pain content and pain relief solutions are not influenced by any medical physician, medical
institution, government agency, or by corporate or product sponsorship...Never will be!
Not a day goes by without some negative press on a prescription drug. Television commercials spend
most of the air time informing you of harmful side effects of their product if you use the product they are
advertising..incredible! but true! We choose to utilize informed minds to seek out the truth about pain relief
products that do more harm than good. If they harm, we will let you know, if they have merit, we will let you
know as well. The key is to make sure the pain treatment isn't worse than the "cure".
While we will always listen to advice, research, and etc. on pain remedies from such entities, we will not
include pain information or pain products on this web site until we have determined they are viably "pain
relief" effective as evidenced by real world "tests" and testimonials from credible institutions and
individual users. In other words, if it's a product for pain relief not tried and proven, you won't find it on this
web site.
While we believe that certain institutions can be and in many cases are helpful. We do not believe
that any government or private sector institution for that matter is the holy grail acting in the best
interest of the general public. Every product that has proven lethal and/or with dire side effects were for
the most part approved by a government agency at one time or another. They are institutions ran by people with good
and bad intentions, and therefore act in their own or other's self interests rather than that of the good of the
general public. This isn't just our opinion, we have a considerable body of published knowledge to make
this case.
You should know...We are not medical practioners, but we seek their insights on pain relief. We are not
doctors, but we welcome and seek their viewpoint on pain relief. We are not associated with any local,
state, or government agency, although in some cases they have value. We are however, a group of
dedicated researchers with a great reputation for getting behind and surfacing the truth about the value of
medical information and product efficacy.
We intend to earn your respect for our ability to bring you actionable pain relief information and pain relief
products that deliver tried and proven pain relief solutions. Unfortunately, pain relief products are not a
one size fit's all solution for a given pain condition.
From time to time you will see pain relief products and pain management information on this website that
appear to address a particular condition in a very similar way. And your are right. The reason for this is
all of us have different physiological make-up's and each of us must find a pain relief solution that works
for our own body. To this end, we are dedicated to helping you find the pain relief information, pain
management and pain relief products that are right for you such as ELMORE OIL which is one of the best
topical treatments on the market today for pain relief.
We are responsible for bringing you credible, accurate information about pain as well as accountability for
bringing you pain relief information and pain relief products that real world tests on pain have proven effective.
You are responsible and accountable for reading provided pain relief information and finding out which pain relief
products work for you...and the only way to find out is to try them out to see if they help relieve your pain.
Sooner or later you will find that one piece of information and/or that one specific pain relief product that
proves the most effective for you... and when you do... it will be well worth the price of your patience and
the price of the pain relief information and/or pain relief product.
If your suffer from pain as I do, you know as well as I, that Effective Pain Relief has no price tag...if it works,
I want to know about it...life is too short to spend my time or yours with a painful condition that can be
effectively treated with non addictive, effective pain relief results.
Your Pain Relief Management
This web site is primarily about coming together to share pain relief information about pain relief products
that relieve pain and also to address pain products that do not. We will constantly source and recommend
pain relief information, pain management and pain information web sites, and pain relief products of
interest to you or for someone you know who is in need of pain relief information, management, and
remedy.
Pain Management Goals
Whatever the cause, pain can have many negative effects on your daily life. Pain Management is all about
reducing the adverse effects of pain on your life and lifestyle in the following areas:
Your ability to perform normal daily activities (sleeping, eating, general care)
Your ability to function adequately on the job
Your ability to perform leisure activities
Common Pain Conditions Treated at a Pain Management Clinic
Your primary care physician can refer you to a Pain Management Clinic if your conditions warrants it.
The following common pain conditions are treated by most Pain Management Clinic's:
Persistent back or neck pain
Headache
Shingles
Leg or arm pain
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
Work-related injuries
Pain related to diabetes, vascular disease or post-surgical neuropathy
Multiple Sclerosis, stroke or cerebral palsy
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Cancer pain
Abdominal or pelvic pain
Reduction of Pain
Science may one day come up with a one size fits all pain solution to eliminate everyone's pain completely,
but this is not possible at the present through any Pain clinic or pain management physician. They can help
reduce the effect pain has on your life, and bring you information about pain treatment and pain relief
products that may improve your pain scale by 1% to 50%, but this is their best day...count on it.
Treatments Pain Management Clinics Use
To Manage Pain
The type of pain treatment physicians recommend at these clinics will depend on the cause of your pain and
the impact pain is having on your life. Pain Management Clinics combine the expertise of physicians,
psychologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, exercise physiologists,
social workers and nutritionists to help each individual achieve maximum pain comfort and control. They
can help, try them out...but you can't spend your life in their care and their clinic's. Your best bet is to take
charge of your pain and pain management by finding what works and also what doesn't work relative to your
current painful condition.
Be advised that many treatments recommended to you for pain may include injections of local anesthetics
and cortisone, nerve blocks, medication management, behavior therapy, cryoanalgesia (nerve freezing),
nerve stimulation or implantable medication pumps. We think there are plenty of pain relief products on the
market that are a little more tolerable for all of us than the above draconian pain regimens and methods.
MAKE SURE you are well aware of the side and potential addictive side affects of any of the above
treatments. In the end, you are accountable and responsible for your own pain and pain relief remedy.
Pain Medication for Pain Relief
The management of chronic pain is sometimes achieved through the use of narcotic and
non-narcotic medication. In these instances, you are monitored very closely for their effectiveness and
side effects. In certain instances, medication may be delivered through an implantable pump or by a spinal
cord stimulator. The key is to make sure you understand what is recommeded and why. You are in charge of
your own pain management...no-one else can make this decision but you.
Special Medical Pain Conditions
The physician/nurse practitioner who evaluates you will discuss the relationship between your medical
condition and your pain problem. Special instructions for patients with diabetes and other medical
conditions requiring daily medications will be discussed on your first visit to the clinic. Make sure you clearly
understand what is being said and recommended about your specific pain condition. Get it in writing and do
a little research before you dive in...if it's too deep find out before you dive in...not afterwards when it is a
little too late to change your mind.
