Physical pain is a part of life. We all experience it, whether a scrape on the knee or a broken bone, receptors in our bodies sent pain signals all the way from our extremities to our brains. Here you might ask and answer questions about unexplained pain, what it could mean, and what to do about it.

What size are the speakers in a 2000 ford explorer xls?

I just put two new speakers in today. They are 6x8. The depth is 2 1/2". The screws are spaced 4" and 5" apart on the sides.

ALSO - the speakers will have a mesh grill over them. If you recover speakers from an older Explorer or other Ford at a salvage/junk yard...then make sure you get them from an Eddie Bauer or limited. These versions have better speakers. The ones I got have tweeters w/ the main speakers (stripped out of an e Bauer for my XLS). To take the door off, use Phillips screwdriver to take the 2 screws out near the handle, near the door latch. Then, pry the panel off. be careful not to tear-up the 6 white plastic grommet screws. (If you go to a salvage yard, take these out with you, too). you will need to take the small plastic cover off around the door latch, it just poops in/out. Then let the middle door handle hang - the one with your power lock controls on it. You will be able to lay the door panel aside, along with the thin plastic liner that was originally glued to the door. Now you can deal with the speaker. Should be 4 small 1/4" nuts holding the 6x8 in place.

Is ibubrofen better than Vicodin for pain?

Absolutely not.

Ibuprofen is the generic name for Motrin. You need a lot of it, and it takes too long to work. It's primary pain relief function is as an anti-inflammatory.

Vicodin (hydrocodone) is a Schedule III opiate analgesic, used for mild - moderate pain. Vicodin, like most opiate derivatives, work on the pain receptors to alter pain perception.

How can you treat arthritis pain?

Arthritis is not curable at this stage. However, there are things that can help such as dietary changes. You might also want to try some herbal remedies or homeopathic remedies for natural pain relief. The major considerations are diet and lifestyle

non phamcological treatment is:

  1. dietary changes
  2. rest
  3. exercise
  4. heat and cold
  5. splits
  6. homeopathic remedies
  7. herbal remedies

pharmacological treatment is:

  1. non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs
  2. low dose corticosteroids
  3. disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs
  4. immune suppression

There is no quick and simple way to treat arthritis using alternative methods, because it's a complicated problem. To simplify it, there are two things that need to be done.

1) Measures to reduce pain and inflammation. This is probably what you'll read the most about if you do searches online for alternative treatments. This is going to involve anti-inflammatory suppleents like fish oil, curcumin, and quercitin to name some very common one. There are many anti-inflammatory supplements, just listing them all would take some work. These by themself are not the cure for arthritis, but it makes sense to include them.

Also, if you can take a natural anti-inflammatory instead of aspirin or a NSAID, then stay away from the drugs.

2) In addition to just taking an anti-inflammatory you want to to do some work investigating the cause of arthritis.

Unfortunately this takes some work.

Major considerations are diet and lifestyle. Toxicty (some people have huge improvements after going through detoxification programs), and any kind of stress on the body. Also gastro-intestinal issues are a big link. What happens is people have something called "leaky gut" where large food particles and microbes that are not supposed to pass through the gut lining do. This causes inflammation through the entire body, and effects some people in the joints. So often people with arthritis need to start taking supplements and working to improve health in other areas and not just do things for the joint.

The joints in where you feel the symptom of a problem, but the cause runs much deeper.

A highly recommend book is "Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Arthritis," which can be bought pretty cheaply off Amazon, or BarnesandNoble.

Alternatively try to borrow it from your local library.If they do not have it they may get it in for you.

What car seats are best for lower back pain?

In my experience, Volvo makes some of the best seats on the market in terms of lower back support and comfort. I know several people with lower back pain that have owned BMW's, Mercedes, Audi, Saab, and Lexus and they all agree that their Volvo (old or new) had the most comfortable and supportive seats. If you search the web some folks have installed Volvo seats in other cars such as a Prius. I think it comes down to seat shape and lumbar support/control and matching it to your body type. It's hard to tell with back pain sometimes since it can take over an hour in the seat to find out it's not supporting you well enough. As for aftermarket, I know Recaro has a seat designed for people who need more lower back support, but they're over $2000. I don't have any experience with them though.

How do you monitor pain?

Pain is a very personal thing and we all react to it and feel it in our own way. It would seem that if you suffer from a chronic and painful condition the best way would be to keep a note book, Imagine a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being no pain and 10 being about as bad as it can get. then note the degree of pain you are suffering at regular intervals in your book. If there is any flare up of pain between those intervals note them as well, as well as what you were doing or eating prior to the event.

Is morphine sulfate a controlled drugs?

Its a hallucinogen and is commonly smoked on a foil, and comes from the coca plant also where cocaine comes from is commonly referred to as vitamin m or rich mans aspirin

The previous answer is completely incorrect. First of all, Methadone is not derived from the coca plant. It is completely synthetic, meaning that chemists designed it. It's base structure is NOTHING like that of morphine or opium, which are derived from the coca plant.

Secondly, it's main use is in the treatment of drug addiction. During the withdrawal period from drugs like heroin, patients experience a high degree of pain. Methadone helps to counteract this pain, as it works on the same neurotransmitter pathways that heroine does. It's second main use is as an analgesic (pain killer), although this use is not recognized widely in the United States. There is also research into it's use as an antitussive, and also in the treatment of certain kinds of leukemia.

Third, methadone is usually administered as a pill. Smoking methadone usually degrades the product as oxidation occurs. Methadone should not be confused with crystal meth, or methamphetamine, which can be smoked.

Despite what seems to be common knowledge, methadone is rarely used as a street drug.

Does Obama have back pain?

Can your period cause you back pain?

Well, there is only one way to know! You must examine your body to know. Things you should check for are * Pubic Hair underneath your arm pits, legs, and 'down south' * Vaginal discharge (usually clear or milky white) * breast development * moodiness The average age for a girl to get their first is about 12 years old, although every womans body works at a different pace. If you think you are going to get your period, start carrying around a pad or tampon, just in case you are out and make sure you have lots and lots of chocolate when you do get your period, or YOU WILL BE SORRY! P.S.-- Backaches may be the start of you entering puberty, since women gain hips and womanly curves. You also may experience cramping and even backaches in the lower abdominal area when you get your period. Good Luck! --Court <3

What is the use of arcalion tab?

(from Wikipedia)

Arcalion is a synthetic derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1). Although its clinical efficacy is uncertain, it is the only compound used to treat asthenia that is known to selectively target the areas that are involved in the condition. In addition to its use as a treatment for chronic fatigue, sulbutiamine also appears to improve memory and erectile dysfunction. At therapeutic dosages, it has few reported adverse effects, though it may interfere with the therapeutic outcome of bipolar disorder.
