I already take a multivitamin, and I've heard nothing but good things about fish oil, so I'll have to look into that too.
I wonder how many of those percentage included the Flinstones type "vitamins"
As far as I'm concerned those do more harm than good
Maybe this will give me some incentive to get mine checked out. It's been bothering me for a couple weeks but I'm hoping it's not anything too serious.
I’m In So Much Pain!
The doctor labels pain according to how long it lasts and how often it occurs. They do this so they can determine which is the best diagnostic tool and the best treatment to use. The categories can get a little blurry at times though. For example, acute pain can be recurrent pain.
The first kind of pain is acute pain. Acute pain is pain that usually lasts less than one month. The level of pain depends upon what caused the pain. The worse the injury, the more it hurts. Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than 3 to 6 months. You don’t even have to have an injury still healing for the pain to continue. Intermittent or recurrent pain is acute pain that happens over and over again.
There are lots of pain therapies used for the different levels of pain. You can do some at home while others require a doctor. When you go to the doctor, he or she is going to classify your pain after getting a history or your pain episodes.
I don't think I could make it through the day without my multivitamins!
