He says he is not having any chest pains.
They started him on a new med this week for his sciatica. It's a drug designed to control seizures, but they think it will help pain. I have a son who has had seizures all his life. All of those meds dull the senses, increase reaction times, cause memory loss. This one also increases depression and suicidal thoughts. This is not what he needs!
But you can also tell just by watching him walk he has to be in s...

Injections for back pain: The evidence is weak
It’s been a while since I did a cycling topic.
As I was skimming thorough the Journal of the American Medical Association recently, I came across this review article on spinal injection therapy for low back pain. It was a shocker.
Two factors brought my attention to the article. First, almost all the cyclists or runners I know have been beset with either back pain or sciatica (referred pain or weakness down the leg). In fact, in some cases, back issues have ended their competitive careers. I too have been flattened with low back pain. It was awful. The other reason to pay attention to the review is the huge numbers ...

Acupuncture is a theatrical placebo: the end of a myth
Conclusions
It is clear from meta-analyses that results of acupuncture trials are variable and inconsistent, even for single conditions. After thousands of trials of acupuncture, and hundreds of systematic reviews (Ernst et al., 2011), arguments continue unabated. In 2011, Pain carried an editorial which summed up the present situation well.
“Is there really any need for more studies? Ernst et al. (2011) point out that the positive studies conclude that acupuncture relieves pain in some conditions but not in other very similar conditions. What would you think if a new pain pill was shown to reliev...

Most pain apps lack physician input - Internal Medicine News
An evaluation of 222 pain-related smartphone apps showed that many were developed without the input of a health professional, some had inaccurate information, and some of their features weren't as robust as they could be."Many of them were giving advice and offering coping strategies, but we don't know if they're effective," said Lorraine S. Wallace, Ph.D., who led the study. In addition, the apps could potentially be dangerous for users if the coping strategy – for instance, exercise – isn't right for them, she said.Experts have begun studying the safety and efficacy of health-related smartphone apps, many of wh...
