When I was a kid, I had a real bad neck and my mom brought me to a chiropractor. The very nice lady clicked one of these clicky placebo sticks all over my neck and said jobdone.
My mom and I gave each other a look as she paid the bill that just said, "Never again."
There's strong evidence that the care and attention of a perceived expert is often enough to relief symptoms (pretty sure Sydney McElroy taught me that). Placebos are great for some but they're just not for me.
I'm going to disagree with the others, while it's clearly designed very similarly to a bbq lighter, and that's what I thought at first, I think it's in fact snake oil. In the form of "electro shock pain relief" of some sort. The two plastic "wings" off the sides very much look like it's meant to be held in your hand while being used. Something like this or this. I think this sort of thing was big back in the 70's or 80s.

~$15 for a 2 pack. No need to wait for a year to be told that grapes decided not to grow this year.
Yeah, I’m very surprised, I’ve never had a flare get better this quickly before.
I’ve been using these socks at night to help (they have little cold gel packs in them, they’ve been a lifesaver)

You can pick this stuff up in just about any asian market for $5-10. We used to use it after paintball to keep bruises away. So powerful you can see if you missed a spot. Bruises and presumably hickies, will be gone overnight.

The hospital should give you a tub but you’ll want more.
This is a just personal favorite of mine:

Used for all 3 pregnancies.
arnica gel!! it won't cover them up like makeup but i swear by this stuff to heal bruises. sometimes they disappear overnight. it is magic.
Empties:
Purchases
TL;DR: I'm sorry this is so long. I buy and try a lot of things.
For PP care (uncomplicated vaginal birth, 1st degree tear) I used Depends Adult Diapers (maybe 20? Had a few left over), Dermoplast (the blue can!!!), Tucks Pads, and made padsicles (20ish) before hand (extra large maxi pads, alo vera gel, alcohol free witch hazel, a spattering of tea tree oil, pop in freezer). Hands down would recommend. My hospital didn't send me home with any supplies so I'm glad I went ahead and got some "just in case" items before hand. The adult diapers were pretty much like wearing comfy granny panties, not at all "diaper feeling" like I thought they'd be, and I could pop a padsicle in every few hours easy peasy without worrying about ruining underpants or leaking everywhere. Once the Depends needed to be changed out I'd just trash the whole thing and start fresh. No clean up - 10/10.
Pricing everything out I've listed (lazily) on Amazon my "kit" would be around $80, but you can find these things for much cheaper in CVS or your local drug store. Looking at the quantities included in your kit I'm thinking you'd have to buy additional products anyway (more pads for sure, more briefs most likely, and I'm not sure how easy it is to clean the compresses but the padsicles are awesome and disposable, major plus in my book). I'm not sure it's as great a kit as it looks at first glance.
ETA - I didn't need these for PP care but I do love having chux for the kiddo. I have a few in the diaper bag and lay them on nasty public changing tables before I lay down his changing pad for an extra layer of protection (and so I don't drag a dirty pad back into the diaper bag).
Apply this special, super secret training sauce to your balls before you roll.
WANTS:
WHAT I WOULD GIVE:
I dunno if this will help but I also had a "no birth control" and "definitely no Gardasil vaccine" mother so I kinda get what's up. Some things that helped me:
Ginger tea and that natural chewable [crystallised ginger]
(https://www.google.com/search?q=crystallized+ginger&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjzoamX3KXTAhVm04MKHUuyB28Q_AUICCgC&biw=375&bih=559) you can find in health food stores (the more raw looking, the better; it's a strong taste though)
Yogi or Traditional Medicinals tea have other good options for menstrual cramp relief if ginger is too strong a taste for you. Look for ingredients like sweet fennel, chamomile, true cramp bark, raspberry leaf.
Epsom bath, which you might find things you can add herbal wise
Hot water bottle - I'd put near boiling water in mine but make sure you always have a fabric cover on it.
Ibuprofen or Midol if you can get it.
Tiger Balm - would use this from my mid to lower back and on the sides of my waist and in the front angles of my hips. This is really strong stuff which feels like a super intense cooling menthol; be careful touching your face even after washing your hands and frankly I wouldn't apply this any lower than the mons pubis.
Also, long term, exercise - didn't see the benefits until later, but gradually working up to weighted exercises for all abdominal areas and lower back eventually helped me a ton. I've stopped working out significantly in the past two years and my period pains get really bad now. When feeling pain the least, I was doing all manner of sit-ups, crunches, reverse crunches, bicycles, planks, side planks, hanging lifts, and regularly used a sort of twist-crunch exercise machine at the gym and a kind of lean-back-against-weight seated machine. That might not be useful to you now, but I swear, there was a definite difference in period difficulty when at my peak vs now.
If I think of anything else, I'll edit this comment. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.
I use and like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GAO91K/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1523308349&sr=8-3&keywords=hemp+oil&dpPl=1&dpID=413ps%2BnNkIL&ref=plSrch
Dermoplast Pain Relieving Spray-2.75 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006GWSTO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_TJrEwb024BKRZ
This stuff is a life saver for post partum. It makes bathroom breaks more bearable.
Hospital Bag:
Shower flip flops! Preferably in a larger size because if you end up with an epidural/spinal swelling can be major. No one told me that
Slippers for walking around the hospital - I like the moccassin kind that have bottoms are are almost shoes but not quite.
I liked having a silk robe for after labor and sitting around. It could cover me while nursing a bit. That robe became like my thing after wearing it in the hospital and my kids blankie/comfort object now.
I didn't bring any underwear or pads to the hospital - I knew they provided mesh ones for when I was there and plenty of pads. I took a ton home with me too.
An extension cord!! So my labor/delivery suite was a corner room usually not used at the time - it's better for tours and my shower light was broken. And it was a large room - and the plugs were like NOWHERE near the bed I was in. Thankfully my husband travels with extension cords (at the time he traveled a lot for his job and just grabbed that backpack) and we had some.
Snacks for after - I brought from Nature's Valley granola, crackers, etc
Long bendy straws - helpful while nursing (you need the extra length). Both in and out of the hospital.
Bobby pins and hairties!
Something relatively cute to leave the hospital in. I have a ton of photos from leaving, and I'm glad I had this purple dress on that I loved. It was just a jersey dress, but it looks nicer than sweats and those photos are my favorite.
Try and nab from the hospital:
-Mesh underwear
-Pads
-Sitz bath
-Newborn diapers, as many as you can
-Baby brush
-Baby sucky bulb thingy (I mean they scare me, but they let me have the one they gave me...soooo I took it!)
-Dermoplast
-Witch hazel pads
-Any ice packs - my hospital stopped giving them at 48 hours and I agree, it stops being really effective and the witch hazel was fine after that for me, but some people swear by getting more ice packs
-Footprints, discharge book, etc on memorabilia
Once you're home:
I'm an advocate for disposable underwear - I didn't wanna spend money on actual underwear or risk ruining my underwear - plus disposable was easy. My 'diapers' just went in the diaper pail with the babies.
Earth Mama Perineal Spray: I liked this so much better than dermoplast which just started to be too harsh. https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Mama-Perineal-Pregnancy-Postpartum/dp/B0065ZTKWS/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_121_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MAN9247RNVFT9QETD3X6
An extra thing of Tuck's witch hazel pads - I went through what the hospital gave me quickly.
Oatmeal cookies - they help with milk production and are easy to eat while nursing a baby. Hot oatmeal is NOT easy to eat while having a baby attached lol
Thanks for the links! I'll check out the online reviews for the wax. Maybe I can even PM Whollyhemp.
I'm using Nutiva organic cold pressed hempseed oil and started breaking out really badly with whiteheads the next day. It was terrible. I used it for OCM. http://amzn.com/B000GAO91K
Mineral oil breaks me out personally (I'm in a tiny minority, it works for p much everyone else haha so don't worry too much), but when I used it I just bought any baby oil that was unfragranced (just has one ingredient on the back - paraffinum liquidum aka mineral oil). Johnson's does one called 'First Touch'. You can use regular fragranced mineral oil if your skin isn't sensitive.
Hemp oil wise, just buy any cold-pressed 100% hemp seed/hemp oil off Amazon. This would be a decent example http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nutiva-Organic-Hempseed-Oil-710ml/dp/B000GAO91K. :)
There's two formulas for Nivea creme, one that's made in Mexico (and available in the US) and one that's made in Germany (and available in Europe and the UK). The German formula is meant to be far superior, but if it's too difficult to get a hold of I wouldn't worry at all, they're both super moisturising. Be aware, though, they are SUPER thick. Like, it feels almost like nappy rash cream when you put it on your face, haha. You just have to rub it in for a couple minutes.
You're welcome. Best to take them before as a preventative but they work on the spot if needed too.

We are a 20 minute drive from the hospital and husband will not leave my side, so I'd like to get everything in. I'm a notorious overpacker, too, but I'd rather have something I don't need than have not have something that I do need.

I think that covers just about everything. I used travel packing cubes to keep all of the clothing items organized, and I already had several different other travel bags that I generally use when actually leaving town, for all of the "other" items. [edited formatting]
I have never seen the brand you have in that picture.
I would try zheng gu shui. It's used for sprains and strains. White flower oil while being a good external analgesic has very little in it to actually help heal the sprain. It will just temporarily relieve pain.

I don't take a capsule. I take this kind, but I chose it because it had good reviews. I wanted something cold pressed and unrefined.
I was just looking in the mirror and I noticed that my skin does look better. Now, I've been outside in the sun a lot and that always makes my skin look better (with sunscreen and a hat) and I've also been eating really well, which also makes my skin look really good, so I don't know for sure what it is, but I'm hopeful this is adding to it.
Hey! :)
I'm so happy that you have a job you love and hope that you are able to continue doing it!
I have a Quell device I received as a gift. I find that it's a useful tool but isn't a huge game changer. Admittedly I don't use it as much as I did when I first received it.
Pros:
Cons
Some tips and tricks. Make sure you put the pads back in the packaging and seal them as soon as you are done. You can make them go a lot longer this way. Also, you can use conductive gel to make them last even longer. I definitely recommend looking into it.
While it is nice that you can be mobile with the quell active, it can bump around quite easily which can lead to a lot of discomfort. It depends on how active you are moving around but I tried to use it mostly when I was at my computer. I would prep food and whatnot in it, but I would say going for a walk with the device is not ideal.
Anyways best of luck and I hope it helps! :)
Use this stuff so you don't have to lick your sweat-crusted HRM.

I use the Garmin Soft Strap with this gel to prevent spikes and get better signal (especially during the winter).
> Break a leg!
I think you mean merde.
Also, I dated dancers my entire adult life and have since married one. If you're interested and homeopathic solutions, I have several exes who swear by [Arnica Gel](Boiron Arnicare Gel 2.6 Ounce Topical Pain Relief Gel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EEEFUZI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_WTCUDbAPJVR98).
Also also, you've been rehearsing for two months? Is this an educational production?
Merde!!
I swear by a dark room, the mygrastick, and this heat wrap with aromatherapy.
I also just started my period 5 weeks postpartum and am also breastfeeding. Stupid universe... Good luck, friend.
You can buy hemp oil from Amazon or a natural foods grocery store and make your own. Hemp oil has a strong taste, but I’ve used it in cakes and it was fine. You can use it in any dish where you’d use vegetable oil.
"Before blister" tape isn't really manufactured for that use, I just use any tape that sticks well. You should check beforehand if a tape works for you because all feet are different. I even tried to buy the same tape once and it was somehow still different and not much use. Leukotape and 3M micropore are just 2 that have worked for me before but I think even with that name there's a bunch of different ones.
Now Compeed (like this), that's where the magic's at. You carefully apply it on top of any evil painful blister and just forget it.
Everyone else already said food so I’ll add dermaplast, Tucks pads, and if she’s breastfeeding, soothies . Throw some dry shampoo in there, too.
You say you want to take off a week - what I would say is find out when the cast comes off and what's happening in surgery; if you're getting your nasal bones broken ("osteotomies"), yeah, take off a few days after the cast comes off.
You're going to still be swollen at 2 weeks if it's closed nose rhino probably not so badly you can't go outside. 10-14 days is the minimum I'd take off if you can, but again, that's because I had to leave a cast on 7 days (and had open rhino).
If you can take off 3-4 weeks (when you will be within sights of "dinner ready") without fear of pissing anyone off, do so (I've never had a job where I felt I had that luxury - it sucks)
You will likely not be in a huge amount of pain unless your surgeon is an asshole. It resolves by 2 weeks. At most you will be dully sore and feel pressure that comes with swelling, maybe some headaches, for a few weeks, but the worst is in the 2-3 weeks. (Caveat - I have never had my nasal bones broken, so I could be wrong but I just don't think so, based on what other patients say)
If swelling doesn't bother you, I would only take off 2-3 weeks. Ask the surgeon how long you'll be in a cast. Mine popped off b/c my nose was both solid enough and oily by day 5 but I was supposed to keep it on 7 days
Ask the surgeon about this before surgery and how he would be taping your nose. He should give you an extra roll of tape in the kit they give you post-op
(Obviously pick up painkillers, anti-vomiting drugs, etc. BEFORE surgery)
Finally - I probably posted this last time but arnica gel is a lifesaver for bruising. I buy this - https://www.amazon.com/Boiron-Arnica-Gel-1-5-oz/dp/B000GG5NAU/ref=asc_df_B000GG5NAU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309750225098&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8898839588931389501&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9067609&hvtargid=pla-406644615055&psc=1

You don't usually need a prescription to buy needles. Check online at places like dealmed or allegro medical, they're generally under $10 for a box of 100. 1 1/2" is typical for IM, but it depends on how much subcutaneous fat you have to get through so really skinny people can use shorter needles for IM.
I had a reaction to the benzyl alcohol preservative in the cypionate I tried initially, and wound up switching to an enanthate that uses chlorobutanol preservative instead. With the cypionate I had super itchy welts that lasted around 3 weeks. Only thing I could find that helped with the itching was this stuff. The active ingredient is carbolic acid/phenol so anything with that in it should have a similar effect. Hydrocortisone is my normal anti-itch cream and it was doing nothing for me. Benzyl alcohol in particular is known for skin-only reactions, so I could have switched to IM but I preferred the smaller needles and don't mind paying slightly more for my T to have something that doesn't make me itch.
I've used this stuff for migraines for a while; it is quite strong and seems to do the thing you're talking about. I just ordered some more on your advice... I have crazy issues with cravings. :( https://www.amazon.com/Health-Sun-My-Grastick-Roll-0-1-ounce/dp/B000WSLF0E/

All used all over Asia, all hot as hell. Particularly Tiger Balm. As a beginner I recommend you try Salonpas.
Well, there's also hemp oil sold as a food ingredient. It has no CBD. Example
I think it's specified CBD hemp oil so no one goes buying that thinking they've found a fantastic deal on a CBD source -- and if you read reviews on those products many have
I've only ever used one model, and that'd be the AccuRelief Dual Channel TENS ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPLDX3U ), but works quite well.
The area you marked in your diagram is roughly the lumbar and sacral region of your low back. It may be a strain or muscle spasm. Gentle stretching, warm wet heat (like soaking in a tub, then do gentle stretching) plus or minus applying ice, topical agents like Salonpas. Remain active, sitting or lying in one place for extended time tends to make it worse. Use anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen or Naproxen according to the labelled directions.
If it is not improving in two weeks or significantly worsens, or develops other accompanying symptoms, like fever, then make an appointment to be further evaluated. It is very common and usually goes away over time. It very rarely means there is something serious underlying the problem
I have facial pain but use the Accurelief unit. Was about 50 at Walgreens or Rite Aid I forget which. Replacement pad set is 15 I think. I like it because it has two separate channels, each of which can use different power settings/patterns. The cables to the pads are nice and long. Goes up to 25 but I use 3 for my face. Having lower intensity settings may be good in sensitive places like the foot. Found battery life to be pretty good. It uses 3 AAA batteries. Good luck! Hope it helps! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPLDX3U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6LIKBbW7XFRBG
I would recommend calling your doctor, especially if it's the same one you saw last week, and tell them your issues. They may be able to call in a prescription for you to get you through a few days until you can safely get to them for a full evaluation.
I'm sure that you've tried just about everything, but I find that when I'm having spasms like this a soak in a hot bath with epsom salt can help with the swelling and to warm up the muscles so I can try to readjust where I'm "stuck". We also sometimes use something that uses mild (and controllable) electric pulses to basically shock nerves and muscles into "resetting".
Here is something similar to what we use:
https://www.amazon.com/Omron-electroTHERAPY-Relief-Device-PM3030/dp/B008KEHA2E
There are a lot of varieties out there and many come with multiple sizes of pads for different sized areas. It doesn't work for everyone, but it really does help me when my sciatic nerve is acting up and causing back pain.
Is there anyone else in your network that you can call on to help with you being so sick? Relatives, neighbors, family friends, etc.
I would recommend to talk to your doctor about prescription accutane and to look into possibly going on a carb free/low carb diet for a while just to see what it does.
I've done both and for the first time I have amazing skin since I was 18 (I'm 36F). Also try this to treat breakouts overnight: Smile's PRID Drawing Salve, Natural Homeopathic Topical Pain and Irritation Reliever... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GKN36W/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_lq9szb9MSSMV1

Sometimes you have to take kids out of the class because its either take the kid out of the class or evacuate the class. As long as you move them safely (hopefully you've been trained to do it safely) its fine. I will usually move a kid out of class unless its over the top violent and then I evacuate the class but that is rare.
You just need to let them go. Don't engage them a lot. Keep them safe. Keep yourself safe. They don't really know what they are doing at that point. Keep a neutral body posture. If you can sit on a desk or table (not a chair) or lean up against a wall. It is a more relaxed posture. If you sit in a chair you can't get up quick enough if they start coming at you. Don't cross your arms. Don't have tense body language. Find your inner zen. There is a certain point where your anxiety becomes their anxiety. Just talk to them occasionally and tell them that everything is fine. Its okay to be upset but not to hit. Don't talk a lot though. Use short sentences with few words. Don't overwhelm them with too many words. They need to go through it. If you don't let them go through it, it will just be put on hold until later.
When they're calmer I'll have a talk with them. Some of the kids think they are in trouble or what they did was bad. I'll tell them that it is okay to be upset in life and they aren't in trouble. But they need to ask for a break if they need a break. Typically what I do is wait until they can follow an instruction before bringing them back to class because then I know they are ready. If its a major meltdown with a kid I usually have a bottle of water that I'll put on a chair and ask them to go get it. Or if we're outside I'll ask them to come sit next to me or stand next to me. If they don't I know they need more time. Its on their time frame, not mine.
Yeah it sucks to get hit. It sucks to get kicked. If you block with your forearm it helps. If you put your side towards them it helps. If they try to hit you in the face always turn your head so they hit the side of your head, I've had my nose broken that way. Arnica helps with bruises. If its been a really rough deal with a kid take a couple minute break to compose yourself.
Dealing with these meltdowns can be hard on a teacher and an aide. Its why teachers and aides in this population have such a high turn over. Stick it out. These kids are awesome. They just need teachers who understand and can deal with situations like these.
Edited to say, always make sure someone is with you when you are dealing with a kid having a meltdown. You need a witness. Always write a report afterwards. Inform your admin of what happened and call the parents. Have whoever was there write a report as well.
These things are the absolute best for leg cramps. I often take them before sex, as a bigger guy I cramp up pretty often.

Disclosure, I am not selling or trying to sell the product above. I am strictly posting for reference
I have oily/acne prone skin and am recently (started 5 months ago) struggling with hormonal acne. I currently oil cleanse with a combination of baby oil and tee tree oil diluted to 5%. I want to try hemp seed oil and tea tree oil.
Should I dilute the tea tree oil to 5% with 95% of hemp seed oil, or should I be diluting it differently? Is this good hemp seed oil? https://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Hemp-Oil-Ounce/dp/B000GAO91K/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1483931465&sr=8-1&keywords=hemp+seed+oil
Additionally, I run frequently in the morning and I'm not sure if I'm structuring my routine right around it-
AM
Run Shower (rinse face with room temperature water)
Pat face dry with tower

The wait lists are always beasts! The appointment will sneak up before you know it though.
In the meantime, if you don't have one, get yourself a [tens unit](Tens Unit - Tens Machine for Pain Management, Back Pain and Rehabilitation. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NCRE4GO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZkpKybEJQN4VP), [salonpas patches](Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch - 140 Patches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FOB5BOK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ImpKybHNNGYZ2) and/or [tiger balm ](Tiger Balm Pain Relieving Ointment Ultra Strength Non-staining, 1.7 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00014X0MK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QnpKybPEHE1V7), the cream type, for places the salonpas are annoying to wear.
Read up on each before use. The tens unit, especially, was invaluable for me. If money is an issue, pm me and I'll see what I can do.
I am having the same issues. Well, to be honest, I've always had the leg-cramping issue, but in the past (before OMAD/IF) I would just chug Gatorade to get them to stop. Now, I can't do that, so I need recommendations as well.
Currently I'm taking these two things to try and help, but I was up all night last night with leg cramps, so they are not working as much as I would like:
Leg Cramp Tablets
Magnesium Potassium Aspartate
Not OP but I get mine from Amazon. I use it for both OCM and moisturizing (under Nivea Creme). It's fantastic!
Note: It does need to be refrigerated.
Not op but I buy food grade hemp oil that I use for ocm on Amazon prime. https://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Hemp-Oil-Ounce/dp/B000GAO91K/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1483979450&sr=8-2&keywords=Hemp+oil
I put my dog on hemp oil (I put 15 drops in his food) and it works wonders. I got mine off of Amazon and it is fairly inexpensive here .
Hope your pupper feels better.

You just use them like normal plasters but they help blisters heal faster which is a bonus, and they relieve the pain. They're available in multiple sizes, they're self adhesive. The company does a whole range of plasters for everything from blisters to bunions. In the UK you can get them from most supermarkets and chemists, I assume there are similar things sold in drugstores in the US

This is the one I use, it's just over $30. I have fibro so it's good for when I do something stupid, like this weekend, I pulled my hip out getting out of the car trying to overcompensate for my bad leg. After two cycles through, pain that was shooting & stabbing was almost a dull ache. It's not effective for my fibro pain though, but that is nerve pain. Still, I've found it handy to have around and it's paid for itself in the month or so I've had it.

Here’s a breast feeding kit that’s a good start.
If you really want to be awesome grab some depends too.
No one really brings the things the mother needs immediately after. A friend of ours got the stuff above for my wife. By far it was the best gift we got.
I originally got one through PT and insurance but I still had a sizable copay. The battery life wasn't great and I lost the charger and found it was stupidly expensive. I ended up getting this.
AccuRelief Dual Channel TENS Electrotherapy Pain Relief System, Includes Batteries and Instruction Manual with Electrode Placement Guide https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPLDX3U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zxkHAbBS55F7T
It uses AA batteries and seems to go forever between changes. It was cheap and the replacement pads are cheap too.
Ok im actually going to try this for the next two weeks, i may not have all the resources I need though...
let me share what i want to place on 2-day delivery

Oi. I threw out my back the morning of my friend's wedding for whom I was making their wedding cake! Thankfully the cake was all made and sitting pretty in the fridge, but I still had to bring it to the reception and assemble it - and those cake tiers are HEAVY!
Advil, laying still, and either heat or ice depending on the stage all worked wonders for me. If it seems like a muscle pain I also use these patches which work wonders for me:

I've never used them myself, but I've heard that there are electrotherapy devices that are meant for use on muscle pain. At least a few people in the reviews for that particular item say that it works for their menstrual cramps.
We've had one of these for about a year now. Have never replaced the pads and just use rechargeable batteries. Works wonderfully!
Well it is "legal" just can't but it at brick and mortar stores unless it's a private seller. You could possibly check out e-cig, vape stores, or head shops for local CBD retailers. I found something on Amazon that might work. I have never used, but the reviews seem good. Nutiva Organic Hemp Oil, 24 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GAO91K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZLBSzbW73CZBJ
Like this? This is my first back injury, but I do pull my neck at least once a year. Do you feel like it helps you heal faster, or just manage the pain better?
I experience chafing, acne, and discoloration on my thighs and I use Prid salve nightly (it may stain, so I only use it when I wear PJs) and bacitracin zinc ointment on the really angry spots. Both can be found in Walmart or your drugstore. These two usually calm the spots down in two to three days, but I think you can use both more often. Just a warning though, you'll smell like an old-fashioned medicine cabinet with Prid on.
I was using Neutrogena's acne body wash but I think it dried out and made things worse.
Pain relief spray might help, but not sure if it's available at any local types, like Walgreens, Walmart, or something.

If Amazon is an option for you, this is the brand I use. I thinkkkk I might have seen it in Whole Foods, but I do a lot of my shopping online so I don't pay that much attention, sorry D= The main thing is to make sure it's cold pressed, and 100% hemp oil.
https://www.amazon.com/Solstice-Medicine-Company-Zheng-Relief/dp/B0002BDP3G is what I've used, but TBH, the massaging part is what is effective.

It's probably made with hempseed oil.

I'm tempted to enter, but the only strictly health item on my wishlist would end up being about $50+ with international shipping and a high base price - way too much and it's a want, not a need. Pretty much anything else on my list could be described as for my mental health - staying happy, busy and away from depression but that's probably not what you mean. ;)
I like this contest idea though! I hope that it can help out someone.
Serious note. I suffer from horrible leg cramps. They go from my groin to my ankle and can wake me up in the middle of the night. Someone introduced me to these leg cramp tablets that contain quinine and you dissolve under your tongue. They work wonders.
edit: ok dicks, I'm going to change it so it doesn't say for MRSA. if you have an ingrown hair or a case of cellulitis (which could happen after shaving), this MAY OR
MAY NOT HELP YOU.
IF YOU HAVE SUPERBUG CRAZY MRSA, DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT I MENTION BELOW. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS A SUPPLEMENTAL OR OPTIONAL TREATMENT GIVEN TO YOU BY A LICENSED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
USE COMMON SENSE, IF YOUR LEG LOOKS LIKE ITS GONNA FALL OFF, GO TO THE DOCTOR AND GET PROPER MEDICATION. THE "SNAKE OIL" SHIT I MENTION BELOW IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR MRSA MEDICATION, HOWEVER SINCE YOU ARE HERE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION MAYBE YOU'RE LIKE ME AND SUFFER FROM THE OCCASIONAL BOIL.
For anyone that is dealing with BOILS (or any other nasty ingrown hair or pimples) what's worked for me and for many others very well is a drawing salve called SMILES PRID.
It comes in a small orange metal container, and is a brown paste-like substance that if applied immediately upon discovering a new infection will totally kill it in its tracks. At least it has done so for ME, and it may not be the case for YOU. USE COMMON SENSE.
It's somewhat of a UNUSUAL (NOT miraculous, it was a fucking figure of speech) substance because of how quickly it works.
Anyone with SUCH annoying recurring skin conditions I -HIGHLY- suggest you take a look at this product. It's available online (I've bought on Amazon) and is inexpensive.
WARNING: IT MAY BE THE CASE THAT THIS DOESNT WORK AT ALL FOR YOU. IN THAT CASE PLEASE SPEAK TO A DERMATOLOGIST AND GET THE RIGHT SKIN CARE PRODUCT OR MEDICATION THAT WILL WORK FOR -YOU-
THANKFULLY WE ARE ALL NOT THE SAME PEOPLE AND DIFFERENT THINGS WORK ON DIFFERENT PEOPLE. SUCH IS LIFE.
Edit: okay since the down vote brigade is here I'm gonna go ahead and link the Amazon site for this so you can go ahead and read the reviews and see for yourself how successful it is.
Realize that there are 7 billion people on the planet and they all have different skin types. this worked for me in PREVENTING the boil from growing, okay? it might not work for you but there's no reason to downvote a product that's been in manufacture for over 50 years and that has worked for some people. I'm not saying to not use fucking antibiotics okay. If you have a fucking serious infection go to the fucking doctor and get a Z pac okay?
