I can just deal with it
How do you deal with pain?
08/05/2012
Sleep it out.
08/05/2012
No pills for me. I use heat if it is menstrual/muscular and ice if it is an inflammation of some sort
08/05/2012
i have a high pain tolerence
08/05/2012
I wait it out, and if its still bad in a few hours, then I'll take a pain reliever or maybe use some heat/ice.

i take advil if i can't make myself sleep (sleep tends to make all my pains go away)

Depends. I get chronic headaches and will take something for them if I can't shake it. For menstrual/muscle pain, I wait it out if I can, take something if it's to the point where I'm having trouble functioning or concentrating.
My first line of defense is usually peppermint oil diluted in sweet almond oil (never use straight essential oil on the skin!), and a cup of herbal tea. They work wonders if the pain hasn't gotten too far, and takes the edge off if it has.

I will use a painkiller when it's really bad but I also try sitting with it, using a heating pad and biting the face off of someone I love. I try not to employ the last one because it rarely makes me feel better but it's been known to happen.

Most of the time I just deal with it and wait it out. If it's terribly bad I'll take some pain killers. I've built up such a tolerance that I only use pain killers as a last resort now though. When I have menstrual cramps I cuddle up with my hot water bottle and have some tea

Depends. Sometimes I just sleep it off, some times a heating pad, last resort is meds.
10/04/2012
ice heating pad and if that doesn't work then killers.
10/04/2012
wait it out, take a hot bath with epsom salt, and tylenol
10/04/2012
Just ignore it

Three months ago my brother fractured several vertebrae in his neck from a trampoline accident. He had surgery and some vertebrae fused right after the accident. As of last weekend when I saw him he's doing OK pain-wise.

If nothing else helps, usually I'll stretch it out or do some yoga to calm down, clearing my thoughts seems to work really well.

I wait it out or I smoke pot. I can't take most pain killers. They make me feel like I have drank 30 pots of coffee.
10/04/2012
I rely on the heating pad and hot baths to help with cramps and pain.
10/04/2012
Advil, Aleve, Salonpas pads, or Tiger Balm depending on the pain.
10/04/2012
I usually pop a good amount of pain killers and go to sleep lol
10/04/2012
depends on the day and what I have to do

I typically try to wait pain out. If it's my back, a heating pad or hot soak usually helps, in conjunction with a large glass of wine or some muscle relaxers, lol.

Pain killers
10/05/2012
Ibuprofen, heating pad if it's period cramps. Painkillers occasionally.
10/05/2012
Pain killers, Percocet to be exact!!
10/05/2012
I usually pop a few painkillers. If I'm having muscle pain I'll try to get someone to give me a massage xD Sometimes I try to sleep it off, or take a hot shower.

For cramps, I take Aleve for it. I have horrible cramps. They just get worse if I don't take anything.
Anything else, I usually just try to wait it out. I always wind up with a very bad headache by about the second or third day after taking my last Aleve, so I've chalked it up to just a withdrawal symptom and I refuse to do anything about it other than drinking cold water and holding a cold water bottle to my forehead.
