Chronic pain: The treatment of chronic pain depends on the causes of the pain. It might include over the counter medication like Ibuprofen or tylenol, (acetaminophen) prescription medication, physical therapy, exercise, injection, surgery ... You should seek a consultation with a pain management doctor for an evaluation.

Good diagnosis + tx: Its important to get a good diagnosis of the problem. If your issues are more acute, medications, interventions such as therapeutic injections may help solve the problem. If the issues are musculoskeletal in nature, physical therapy or functional restoration may be helpful. However, the key is a proper diagnosis by a trained professional.

A member asked:
Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?
