Chronic Pain Types
How to lessen chronic shoulder pain?

I cant take any narcotics because I have a history of abuse with them. I also cannot afford any type of treatment at this time. I was just wondering if anyone had any techniques to lessen the pain? slings, heating, non prescription meds that work well. Anything.

Try an over the counter product called JointFlex. It is a cream that is rubbed into the joint. It may take several weeks, but you will get relief. Good luck.

Chronic Pain Types

Information on the different types of pain?

I am trying to find a good site that explains easily about the different types of pain, Acute , Chronic and Malignant. Something that is user friendly and not too medical.
Can anyone help

I’ve done a lot of reading about pain in the past few months. This info should help you.

There are probably as many types of pain as there are people in the world, however, there are generally a relatively small number of common pain problems. There will be obvious crossover in these categories. Classically, the first manner in which we group pain disorders is by time or duration. The three subgroups are acute, subacute and chronic pain.

These sites give lots of information and should help.
