Well this is an interesting question... the fact that you are asking it says that you are clearly in a lot of pain, the fact that you don't want to poison yourself says that you understand the dangers behind the pharmaceutical drugs that are out there. The first question I will ask would be, what kind of pain are you suffering from (if you don't want to say that is OK too, it will just help me to do some research if I know).

The simple answer is that any pharmaceutical medication you put in your body will have adverse reactions within your body. Pain is our body's way of telling us that something is not right. If you take something to just suppress that and don't do anything to alter what has caused the pain in the first place it has been proven that you will suffer serious problems from it faster since the medications don't require you to change your life to "not feel the pain."

Personally we go to a chiropractor, which has been amazing for myself and my husband. Personally prior to chiropractic care they had removed my gall bladder, diagnosed me with endometriosis, had me on Oxycodone every month, horrible PMS beyond debilitating, two days down when I started my cycle, and I had been told I was infertile.

Since going, all of those are gone, and I have had a honey moon baby! The theory is simple really, your spine controls everything in your body. If it is in line then the rest of your body can do what it is supposed to do without the aid of medicines etc.

Does this mean if you are on medication now for your pain that you should just stop? ABSOLUETLY NOT!!! I am NOT a Dr. and if anyone tries to tell you anything without taking x-rays you also need to leave! There are quite a few people out there who prey on people like yourself who are in pain.

Acupuncture is another method I have heard does wonders.

Unfortunately if you take anything into your body (pill) to "kill" pain, you are doing something negative and poisoning yourself at the same time. Even an aspirin. We all know Aspirin relieves a headache right? Did you know that it does so by releasing blood in your intestines to release the pressure on the brain?

Again if you can get more specific on the problems you are having I will be happy to do some more research on natural ways you can help to alleviate the pain.
