Post-Op Remedies for Pain
Joy (Battleground, Wash) on 07/04/2013:
Not sure if this will help you but I ruptured a disc in my spine and it was like sitting on a rock for 12 months..... Very painful!!! Taking a bath TRICKS the body's interpretation of the pain signal, making the brain think the pain signal is coming from a larger area.. My pain sent a strong signal from the disc & nerves but in the tub the signal was spread over the area of my body under the water... My neck down, ... soooo much less pain. Won't work if water is scary to your child... Soaking in water dehydrates, so add more in diet if using tub for relief, ask pediatrician about minerals (epsom salt)in tub water or pedialyte in beverage? View Entire Thread
