I've had to take too much tylenol or advil on many occasions for pain. This is a good video on protecting your kidneys and liver from potential damage from taking too much OTC pain meds. Just for those who may not know. Look out for your organs dudes :thumb:

Ice, heat, and stretching is what I include in my pain areas. Decent heating pad. Good set of flat ice pads that are comfortable to lay on. Also resistance/rehab stretch bands can be useful for stretching purposes

NAC is apparently somewhat controversial or was because of not being FDA approved. But I personally use it as needed in my vitamin regimen for detoxing free radicals and the fact I have days where I take too much tylenol

Not sure on it helping from Ibuprofen and possibly taking too much of that.

Another reason for NAC that has been a big blessing for me is for mucus either sinus or lung congestion. The minor kind, not infections that may require antibiotics. Got to use proper judgment on that of course. I personally have seasonal and household allergies. Those lead to sinus headaches which for me frequently turn into terrible migraines. Adding NAC has greatly reduced that. maybe 1 a day and then on days that are bad 1 or 2 as needed. Good videos. GREAT follows for your youtube feed. Both these 2 have helped me tremendously.

I use this stuff:

There are more. Just do a youtube search of Dr. Alan Mandell sciatica

My sciatica is no longer an issue. I do have piriformis which is very similar to sciatica. Its on my right side. I had saved this video and forgot all about it before reading this thread which got the idea, hey i have this saved to watch later videos on youtube. Came in really handy for the first mowing of the season about a week ago. And I push mow. I actually did the neighbors yard as well and wouldn't be able to have done that without the stretching and just a simple icing was all that was needed for recovery the next day. I wouldn't be posting these if I didn't personally have tried the methods with some level of success with them. Try adding them to the equation and see if it helps your situation.

There are other Drs videos on YT but I only post from the particular quacks or no longer practicing quacks in Dr Berg's case, because I have come to trust them by so many of their videos on my feed and following their guidance on issues that pertain to me and actually helped me. I also take a copper vitamin that I just started a few weeks ago so I haven't noticed a ton improvement. But some. I need to give it more time. Very cheap supplement. I haven't used the copper braces or sleeves however

While I was waiting for my steroids shot in the spine, my son was getting married in NYC where he lives now. I was worried I'd not have the movement to walk all over Manhattan. Meet all their friends and a couple of parties etc.

The Doc gave me a round of oral steroids. Holy shit, that stuff made me feel like a new man. Felt like I could do anything physically all the time I was there. Great stuff if used every once in a while.

Same here. Issues have gotten worse as allergies got worse.

I tried 3 or 4 different CBD oils through a dropper. I can't say I ever noticed anything (other than fighting off a virus.) No change for me in calm, mood, sleep, etc.

What specifically did you use?

Adding raw honey to my arsenal has helped with allergies. Get it from somewhere close to where you live or in the same state or general area. I consume it by adding to water with lemon or even green tea. It helps me. Not a miracle cure but it helps. I used to take a ton of Tylenol allergy sinus from my early teens. NAC also helps me quite a bit with allergies/sinus. I need to include some good reefer edibles somewhere down the line for the different aches and pains. Lumbar and thoracic arthritis

I haven't really followed this thread but I have some issues for sure. The thread on my back that leads to hip pain would fit in this thread. I've managed that fairly well with the right amount of stretching and exercise. Have sciatica related to that but I find that sometimes it doesn't bother me for months. Sometimes I lay in bed in pain. And then I have my nightly ritual of Night Night gummies that have THC and CBN, I do 10 mg of melatonin, three Advil Liqui-gels and the finishing touch of 10 ml of Children's Benadryl. Cherry flavor! I can sleep for six hours plus doing that. I think the only really unhealthy thing is the Advil and it's not good for the kidneys. My creatinine level was a touch high at last test. The best advice I have for guys as they start to age is cliche'. "A rolling stone gathers no moss" so keep moving!

I swear by taking mushroom supplements. They help me relieve any brain fog. Just overall well being. I take Lions Mane and Cordyceps. Cordyceps are best for energy.

Then I take PS128 from Bened Life which has somewhat changed my life. It is a mental prebiotic. Massively lowers my frustration and increases my patience level but it is probably only useful for people like me.
