Skip The Opioid Addiction: Try Yoga Instead For Lower Back Pain

Description

For people experiencing low back pain, the thought of exercise often seems daunting. About 80 percent of Americans will have back pain at some point in their lives, but treatment can be a challenge, and taking prescription painkillers can lead to opioid addiction. But a new review indicates yoga may be a natural fit in the quest to relieve an aching back. Researchers from the University of Maryland reviewed 12 studies. Indeed, there was some evidence that yoga led to small improvements in pain, and small to moderate improvements in back function at three and six months.

Study Finds Common Back Pain Treatment Doesn't Offer Relief

The review did find that the medications could however offer a modest benefit for osteoarthritis and sciatica. Their review looked at data from 33 clinical trials studying the use of antidepressants for chronic pain. Antidepressants are frequently prescribed by doctors to help chronic pain sufferers with their mental distress.

Please, Please Don't Try This At Home

A man’s experiment with DIY prescription drug withdrawal and psychedelic mushrooms went disastrously wrong and nearly killed him. Gizmodo reports the man had wanted to wean himself off prescribed medications for his bipolar disorder. He also had a history of opioid dependence. After boiling the 'magic' mushrooms, the man injected a 'tea' made from the mushrooms into his veins. Soon after, he developed symptoms including lethargy, jaundice, diarrhea, and nausea, along with vomiting up blood. When he was admitted to a hospital ICU, multiple organs had started to fail, including his lungs and kidney. Tests revealed that he had both bacterial and fungal infections. The mushrooms he injected were now literally feeding off him and growing. Among other treatments, he was given an intense course of antibiotics and antifungal drugs. It took 22 days in the hospital to recover.
