  1. Collected a few fingers from a table saw in high school and a scalp from wood lathe in jr high woodshop. You never forget. oh, and stopped wearing rings after the honeymoon …
  2. 1) does using Sensodyne , or equivalent, toothpaste help the pain ? 2) if you can take ok, does ibuprofen help the pain ? 3) is the pain only from touching the gum ? 4) is the pain present all of the time ? 5) since an implant is usually a two step procedure, did the pain start after the insertion of the base or after the installation of the top tooth part ? an oral surgeon or neurologist might be able to diagnose
  3. Those helped for short durations for me. Mostly as a change from the regular ergo chair.. knees would get tired after an afternoon. They do work though. a small rolled up towel placed in the lower back can help . Look up McKenzie exercises/stretches. Traditional Thai stretching and massage helped me. Helped with keeping hamstrings and hips muscles loose which took strain off my lower back for years. Look for someone with medical massage certification, usually through a hospital or medical practice.
  4. And maybe change the chair to improve your sitting ergonomics.
  5. Based on my experience- 1) find a reputable spine care dr and figure out if structural issue 2) physical therapy and maintenance 2.5) loose weight. It helps a lot. Eat less, drink less. 3) get out and move within your limits. Walking, tai chi, swimming, stretching, all can help. 4) don’t sit for more than 30 minutes at a time without activity break for 5-10 min. Stretch, walk, move. Don’t eat. if chronic, Gabapentin can help calm the nerves, releasing strain from muscle contraction. surgery should be last resort for pain and only if your situation gives high chance of success. Then get a second or third opinion.
  6. in the US, we call them “golden berry “ if that is 12-15mm diameter. Rich in antioxidants, slightly tart.
