Have you ever gone into a nice, easy run and felt a slight Twing here and another there? But still, you keep on running, ignore the Twing. Two days later, to get to go again for another comfortable, easy to run. The Twing is still with you, but it is not so bad, so that you continue your run.
Now that the weekend comes. Nirvana. All the time in the world expects a lot for your weekly long run. After a few short clicks, you trip and fall, make your knees, the Twing, has been a significant pain. So intense is the pain, climbing up the stairs to your walk-up apartment after your run, it is virtually impossible. Still you forge on, through sheer determination and True Grit, visions of each runner’s remedy – icepack – guides you step by painful step on the way to the refrigerator-freezer.
Despite the day of self-medically – icing the knee – the ever present swelling and pain will drive you to the doctor. The diagnosis, “… a bruised kneecap and no operation for 10-12 weeks.” Yikes! The doctor’s prescription: an anti-inflammatory.
Well, respectful of my pain threshold, anti-inflammatory drugs are not very high on my list of must haves. Research shows that anti-inflammatory drugs affect how the body’s natural healing process and may be renewed and prevent healing. No option for me. The option of managing pain, of course, has a great attraction.
For the majority of pain management, of course, is a case of trial and patience. A liquid form is the most efficient and ensures that the body rapidly absorbs all the ingredients for a faster and more effective aid.
As an example, and while this is certainly not for everyone, someone who weighs 124 kg and stands high in the 5 ’1 “, the combination of natural herbs and minerals daily include:
Glucosamine (1500 mg) and rebuilds cartilage is usually for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
MSM or methylsulfonylmethane (1000 mg) acts as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
Collagen (5000 mg) nourishes the cartilage, bone, connective tissue and skin.
Turmeric (150 mg) helps in the production of inflammatory substances produced naturally in the body.
Ginger (510 mg) helps reduce the pain, and may decrease blood and cholesterol-lowering properties useful in the treatment of cardiac and vascular diseases.
Bromelain (150 mg) is an anti-inflammatory agent ideal for sports injuries, trauma, arthritis and other types of swelling.
Devil’s Claw (150 mg) has strong anti-inflammatory properties that reduce pain.
Boswellia (150 mg) is an anti-inflammatory, helps to improve the mobility and pain.
Pomegranate juice (8 ounces) is an anti-oxydant which lowers the levels of enzymes and reduces inflammation, cartilage erosion.
Vitamin D (1000 IU) increased bone growth and strength.
Calcium (1000 mg) is the main component of bones and necessary for joint repair.
This self-corrective measures at this time was very effective with me always running in less than five weeks after my injury, while at the same time, provided food for the reconstruction and maintenance of healthy cartilage and joints – is of crucial importance to each runner.
