I wonder how many people would NOT NEED OPIODS if they got down to the proper weight for a hip or knee replacement
FENTANYL IS POISON

I wonder how many people would NOT NEED OPIODS if they got down to the proper weight for a hip or knee replacement FENTANYL IS POISON That really is not a fair comment. Used properly and for the right cause, it's an important medical tool. At a high enough dose, any substance is toxic - even water.

Used properly and for the right cause, it's an important medical tool. At a high enough dose, any substance is toxic - even water. We are in the middle of a heroin epidemic that has started because of medical professionals not understanding how to use/prescribe these drugs as medical tools. What do you think is going to happen with Fentanyl? Start holding Dr's to a hire standard of continuing education until they know what they are handing out and than maybe I can agree with your point. I had major ankle Surgery 4-5 years ago. Surgeon wanted to give me an enormous amount of OXY. I told him I didn't want OXY and he told me I would be in extreme pain with out it. I took percs (gave me a 120) instead and never felt a thing. Into second week I gave to my wife to throw in garbage cause I could feel my body wanting it.

I don't dispute the opiod epidemic, but I will take no ownership of it. I prescribe opiods so infrequently such that I question if I should keep my DEA license ( at a cost of $770 for 3 years). But then I remember the once a year acute herniated disc that drags themself into my office and I know they will appreciate my ability to prescribe opiods after more conservative measures have failed. There is a time and a place for these drugs, though it's tragic that they have been so over-prescribed.

One of Al Mann's many projects was and remains Medallion Therapeutics. An infusion pump to deliver pain meds to the point where pain originates. I recently spoke with an individual who had surgery and used a pump to deliver local pain meds to the surgical site. He said he literally had no pain and they took him off the pump a few days after surgery with minimal pain at that point as well. aemf.org/item/medalliontx/

You seem like a no non sense type of person. I am the same way. I don't think you are one of those types of Dr's and it has to be tough as to where do you draw the line? Are they telling the truth are they lying are they really in pain? It blows my mind how often Big Pharma runs opioid enduced constipation commercials. I didnt really pay attention to it at first but then I was like wow this commercial is on all the time. Theres a ton of backed up plumbing out there because everyone is on opioids. I am in my late 30's I have no cartilidge in my knees from years of basketball. I have two bulging discs. I have an ankle that is slightly deformed (but I can I work around it) from a misdiagnosis in the emergency room. I have very very mild arthritis in both my hips. I am still extremely active but its a chore for me at night. I have to foam roll my whole body. Dedicate one day to yoga and I have about 4-5 frozen bags of peas on my body at night while I watch TV. If I hit a certain weight things start to bother me and I am reminded why I need to do this maintenance because it would be so easy to walk into a Dr's office and get a pain killer. There are some days I wonder if I am going to be able to walk at 70 years old and if this is all worth it. Guess I will find out.....

Foam rolling: the best! I do it every morning. If I didn't I would be in some pain working out. I had a hip replacement 11 years ago and was only on Aleve after I got back to the gym about two weeks later. But after I started foam rolling I'm great. I can run and do everything I did before. And no pain pills:-)

They are unique and can be identified because they will refer pain. Pain referral, for our purposes, can most easily be described as the pain felt when pressure is applied to one area of the body, but the pain is felt or radiated in another area. A common example of a trigger point is felt while foam rolling your iliotibial (IT) band as it causes pain to radiate up to the hip or all the way down the leg to the ankle. When rolling or working on tight/sore muscles you will experience discomfort or pain. Think of it like the pain you get while stretching. It should be uncomfortable, but not unbearable, and when you are done it should feel better.

Def look into it. You might be able to play twice a week. All people should use it but its going to be awkward and sometimes painful the first month. It takes time to roll out the muscles so where it does not hurt. If you took a foam roller for the first time and rolled out your it band with full weight on it you would probably rather watch MNKD stock price getting dropped by SNY three days in a row. Then go through 5 seconds of a slow it band roll.

Horrible pain.

I will watch video and look into giving it a test drive. I mean roll.

re, I was just going to say that! I started with the white one and now use the black harder one. Then there is the yellow one with ridges in it! I was going to tell central to make sure and roll out his whole back too, from upper back to thighs. I had bad sciatic problems so rolling out all those knots in my lower back and glutes really keeps my back healthy.
