Although pain is one of the most common reasons that people visit the doctor, managing it can be complicated.

So, what’s a patient—or a doctor – to do?  Here to talk about the unmet need in treating acute pain is Dr. David Dalury, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery (Emeritus) at the University of Maryland.

The results show how patients’ lives are affected by acute pain:

70% say it limits them from walking and exercising.
69% says it limits their sleep.
65% says it affects their hobbies and leisure activities.
65% say it made them feel irritable or emotionally drained.
Patients reported missing an average of 19 working days annually.

Pain is one of the most common reasons that people visit the doctor; however, treatment options for the various types and causes of pain remain limited.i,ii,iii

Approximately 40 million Americans with acute pain are prescribed an opioid to manage their discomfort each year.vii Although opioids can be effective, they also carry a labeled risk of addiction.viii In fact, roughly 85,000 U.S. adults are expected to develop opioid use disorder (OUD) within a year of their prescribed treatment of acute pain.vii

Health care providers may prescribe either acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as alternatives for milder pain or additions to opioids for severe acute pain; while these treatments are generally well tolerated, they may have limited effectiveness, particularly for moderate-to-severe acute pain.viii,ix

The survey also shows that:

77% of patients say they are interested in trying a different pain medication if they experience acute pain again.
52% say they are seeking a new pain medication with fewer side effects than their last medication.
31% say they stopped taking their medication before their pain was resolved.
On Wednesday, December 4th, Dr. David Dalury Professor of Orthopedic Surgery (Emeritus) at the University of Maryland will be available to discuss the survey results and help raise awareness about the unmet need in current pain management options and offer solutions.

The post NEW SURVEY ON PAIN SHOWS HOW IT DISRUPTS EVERYDAY LIFE & WHY THERE’S A NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS appeared first on Good News!.

Americans may not realize it but if they are tossing their prescription medicines in the household trash or flushing them down the toilet, they are actually adding to the nation’s pollution problem and potentially harming our critical natural resources.

After being flushed or poured down the drain, many medications pass through sewer and septic systems. Because these systems can’t always treat or remove all the medications, they may end up in streams, lakes, and groundwater. This can cause adverse effects in fish and other aquatic wildlife as well as unintentional human exposure to chemicals.

In addition to harming our environment, disposing of medication in the trash, makes it easier for drugs to fall into the wrong hands and continue the cycle of misuse.

A recent survey showed that Americans often hold on to their unused prescriptions for future use, for fear of their illness returning or because they don’t know how to get rid of them. In fact, 47% of Americans currently have 1-3 bottles of unused prescriptions in their medicine cabinet followed by 8% with 4-6 bottles, 2% with more than 10 bottles and 2% with 7-10 bottles.

With no knowledge of safe disposal practices, one in four (25%) Americans admit to flushing leftover/unused prescription drugs down the drain, and another 25% toss unused prescriptions in the trash.

But you can be part of the solution to this problem. There’s a helpful strategy easily available that can help: drug deactivation and disposal pouches. They’re a safe, effective choice that can be used to destroy and properly dispose of unused, unwanted, and expired medications. With the simple addition of tap water, any medications placed in a pouch are rendered harmless by its patented activated carbon technology. Then, the plant-based pouch is completely safe to dispose of in normal household trash, preventing contamination of landfills and water systems.

Nancy Devine, Verde Environmental Technologies Inc. Chief Operating Officer as she outlines what you can do to be greener at home beginning this Earth Day. She’ll also provide details on how to keep your medications from polluting the environment by using safe deactivation and disposal methods.

2. The Awake Money Blueprint, Inc. is a company that helps people to activate human potentials and open up possibilities to attract money. The Money Blueprint Transformation Program is a tool that helps clients to create a shift within short period of time to the higher level of success. The goal of the Program is to realign client’s lives to the best scenario.

3. Benefits of the Money Blueprint Transformation Program:
MBTP helps reprogram (transform) Money Blueprint; this ‘blueprint’ is the deep, cellular programming people acquired as a children that determines patterns of acquiring money, beliefs about deserving wealth, and affects ability to achieve abundance. By addressing the money blueprint, people have an opportunity to achieve the highest potential level of wealth and abundance.
The original Money Blueprint ‘determines’ the amount of wealth we are ‘allowed’ to accumulate during your lifetime. It usually does not exceed the level of wealth your family historically achieved. The MBTP provides the unique opportunity to ‘reset ‘the ‘numbers’ and ‘install’ a new level of wealth — the money blueprint we envision – and helps to take control of life and business.
The MBTP helps to eliminate subconscious core beliefs that are blocking relationships with people and connection to the Inner Child. The ‘true self’ is revealed the instant those core beliefs are released, and the ability to trust and love people tremendously increases presence, credibility, and trustworthiness for clients and family.
The MBTP helps to eliminate the memory of past traumas, physical or emotional, that exert a negative influence on life. At the end of the Age Clearing process clients become free from auto-emotional responses and open up the energy flow that will bring success and abundance.
MBTP helps to create a “winner’s mind”, the mindset that is programmed by clients and serves their Highest Good. It gives the insight on how the Law of Attraction reflects the work of the mind, enabling clients to attract even more money and success. The mind becomes more focused, clear, creative, and peaceful – which is necessary for achieving biggest dreams and setting higher goals.
MBTP helps to build a stronger body: clients become Quantum, and accept a new way of living: Being Quantum. Being Quantum provides a great advantage, helping to make the body strong and grounded, raising endurance and stamina, while providing the ability to create and bring a positive atmosphere to clients, and ultimately positively affect the relationships and communications with partners and investors. Clients quickly establish trustworthy relationships, and are more protected from negative energies, whether from other people or even electronic devices.
The MBTP enhances tolerance, enabling you to quickly manage and eliminate stressful situations. When the body has fight-and-flight reactions, it prevents us from receiving. Being stress-free is essential to attract luck and success.
