Answers:
for really bad inflammation I prefer ketoprofen sold under the name Orudis KT, although a strong dose of ibuprophen works well
a topical medication called biofreeze works wonders. you can get it from physical therapist, chiropractors and online at www.drugstore.comHealth Question & Answer

Yeah, all that stuff works really well but I damaged my hip a few years back and had some swelling in my back especially around the sciatic nerve. I was prescribed 'naprosyn' and it worked like a charm. It won't control much of the pain if there's permanent damage but it makes the swelling go down. You can buy it over the counter now at Wal-Mart...it's just called Naproxen-Sodium. Stuff rocks.Health Question & Answer

Did you ever hear the term 'RICE' I work in the health field and we teach our patients 'RICE'. Always remember for any injury:
1. Rest
2. Ice
3. Compression
4. Elevation
This is the best 'Natural' way to heal. Health Question & Answer

Most natural is not a pill. Try rest, elevation, and ice. If that's not good enough take an ibuprofen and that should do it.Health Question & Answer
