A Knee Recovery Nightmare! Right Total Knee Replacement My Physical and Emotional Fight Against Pain Hypersensitivity and Protective Muscle Guarding – written by Cathy Banovac – interview by Lisa Pelley and Mary Elliott – Cathy was coached by Erin Rempher, PTA My name is Cathy and I reside in Arizona. I am 57 years old, a homemaker, and have had a genetic history of chronic osteoarthritis. From a very young age, I have always had a very low pain threshold. Prior to the commencement of pain in my knee, I considered myself a fairly fit and active person…loved gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, crafting, playing golf, traveling with my husband, walking our dogs, and playing with our grandchildren. Life was good! Early Summer In addition to the normal aches and pains that come with aging, I began to experience more than usual pain in my right knee. I was experiencing daily occurrences of popping/clicking, giving out when walking at times, difficulty negotiating steps or stairs, and nightly interrupted sleep due to pain. Over the counter medications, icing, heat, etc. was no longer managing my symptoms. Upon visiting an orthopedic surgeon for examination and subsequent imaging, I learned I was over 70% bone on bone in my right knee joint. I was told I was looking at a total knee replacement. I was preparing to head to Michigan for a family vacation on the lake with my kiddos in August, so was not happy to hear this news. I convinced my doctor to give me a steroid injection just to buy me the time I needed to take my vacation. He was reluctant and told me that he predicted it would do nothing to help my condition at the very least or, at the very most, last for a brief time. I made it through the trip, yet 3 weeks post-injection the symptoms had returned. No More Injections My surgeon declined my request for another injection, instead reiterating my need for the TKR. Over previous years, I had witnessed my mother, father, husband and a few friends have knee replacement surgeries. All came through their surgeries with what appeared to me to be a fairly pain controlled, timely recovery and successful return to their regular daily activities. I was told I was on the younger side for this type of procedure, nevertheless, would greatly benefit from extended quality of life and return to desired activity, given my current quality of life and daily activity was becoming more diminished by the day. My Knee Replacement I underwent RTKR on September 25. All went well and as expected with the surgery. I was up and walking, began some light physical therapy exercises, and maintained post-op range and motion through use of a CPM while in hospital. I was discharged to home on the third day post-op, with a couple of narcotic pain medications (initially Percocet/Oxycodone and Morphine) and directions to commence in-home physical therapy the following day. My follow-up visit with the surgeon was scheduled for 6 weeks post-op. Day one at home began my challenging journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally. I experienced difficulty managing my pain even with narcotics and over the counter medications. My swelling was as expected and able to be kept in check with anti-inflammatory meds and icing. I experienced annoying side effects from the narcotics, i.e., headaches, nausea, constipation, and thus was bounced from one medication and dosage to another, none of which seemed to be the right combination or solution to my pain. Out of complete desperation and in uncontrollable pain, I went to the emergency room after being home for four days post-op, hoping to get some relief. A Problem with the Surgery? I thought surely there must be something wrong. A few hours later, together with a lecture from the hospital PT and some morphine, I was discharged back to home. Back on more medication, I failed to again find relief from pain. I was averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night and little sleep during the day. My home physical therapist had her work cut out for her. Over the next 4 weeks (twelve 45 min. sessions of in-home PT), I had yet to reach better than 85 degrees flexion and 10 degrees extension. My in-home therapist said she spent most of those 4 weeks strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles, all which were extremely weak. Therefore, already I was approximately 4 weeks behind in range and motion advancement. My pain was still very much out of control, all while I feared becoming more and more dependent on the narcotics prescribed. At the first follow-up appointment (six weeks post-op), my flexion was below 90 degrees and extension still not at the zero degree mark. I was informed by my surgeon that I needed a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA). My knee felt very stiff, pain was still unmanageable, and I was stuck without advancement in physical therapy. Manipulation Under Anesthesia He took x-rays and made sure the appliance was not loose or slipping out of placement. All was found to be in proper order and an examination found no infection that could be causing pain or other symptoms. My surgeon had done his job. I was told however, that he believed I was stuck due to scar tissue build-up and thus was in need of the MUA to break up the scar tissue. This would also permit the ability to continue physical therapy, working towards achievement of the desirable degree of range and motion outcomes. I underwent the MUA six weeks and one day post-op and immediately resumed PT the following day. I was told not to worry about a reduction in my flexion and extension after having the MUA. An MUA tends to put patients back about 3-4 weeks, so it is almost like starting all over again. However, the idea is that advancement in range and motion should become easier now that the scar tissue has been broken up by the procedure. I went to PT for 5 days in a row the first week following the MUA, did my home exercises faithfully on my own twice a day, then returned to PT three times a week for the next several weeks. After the MUA At the two week follow-up appointment post the MUA, I was still in unmanageable pain, still getting only 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, and running every gamut of emotion and temperament. My poor husband was beside himself and wondering whatever became of the woman he married 27 years ago. My flexion was still only reaching in the low 90's and my extension was no better either. I was still experiencing great sensitivity to the touch anywhere on or around my surgical knee. I couldn't stand wearing pants or having any sheet or blanket covering my knee. My pain was the worst at night, just when I was settling in for some restful moments on the couch watching TV with my husband. I would suddenly be lifted off my seat with either pain that mimicked touching a lit match to my knee, or the stabbing of a knife, or the shock of a taser. Dealing with the Pain This pain varied and sometimes was relentless for several minutes. I was in tears most evenings and headed to bed to ice or apply heat, which calmed the nerve pain somewhat. I would take meds (Hydrocodone/Norco, Extra-Strength Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Zofran (for nausea) Vitamins, a stool softener (due to Hydrocodone) and Gabapentin aka Neurontin. I was soooo sick of taking medications. I think my surgeon was beside himself as to how to control my pain and sensitivity, therefore, he recommended I seek help at a Pain Management Clinic for possible sympathetic blocks, as well as my medicinal pain management. Both he and my physical therapist told me I was forecasting pain neurologically before any exerted physical effort on their part was made to cause any pain. My intolerance for any amount of pain was prohibiting any measurable progress in my range and motion, thus scar tissue was building at a rapid pace. Physical therapy continued to be a challenge as I protective muscle guarded any force applied by my therapist to get better R&M. I cried through most of my sessions. Pain Management At my first appointment with the Pain Management Clinic, I met with the doctor. Most people have sympathetic blocks in their back to relieve nerve pain, but the doctor I was referred to chose to recommend a Genicular Neurotomy, accomplished through a procedure called Coolief Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation. I first underwent a test which involved Lidocaine injections in four areas surrounding my new knee. The patient then logs their pain and activities over the following 72 hours. A follow-up appointment with a Nurse Practitioner then reviews the log and determines eligibility for the ablation procedure. At this appointment she chose to cut my medication cold-turkey for a couple of days as she deemed I was dependent on them, even though I was getting little pain control. I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms for two days. A Change in Medication I thought I was going to go out of my mind. A change in my medication increased the Gabapentin I was taking, and I was found to be eligible for the ablation. I underwent that procedure approximately 6 weeks post my first MUA, just before the Thanksgiving holiday. I was told that I would still be experiencing pain for approximately 4-6 weeks, due to the fact that the ablation was going to make my nerves “angry” as they fought their temporary death. I was also informed that this procedure is temporary as nerve endings most often regenerate themselves over a 6 month to 2 year period. Some patients must undergo two or three of these procedures to get lasting relief. Unhappy News This was not happy news to my ears, yet I was still desperate for relief and reaching out for anything, and I mean anything, that would control my pain. I returned to the pain clinic for a follow-up to the ablation procedure only to report pain still very bad and that I was still taking a boatload of medication, icing, heat to quad muscles to relieve cramping, and poor results in physical therapy sessions. I was told to give it more time and come back in a few more weeks. At my next follow-up approximately 3 weeks later, I discharged myself from the Pain Management Clinic. I felt that their treatment plan was not successful for me and they had no other plan to offer other than continued reliance on prescription medication and time. When recovery goes wrong – Read More A Desparate Time After barely getting through the Christmas holidays, persisting in physical therapy and weaning myself down on prescription medications (since they didn't seem to be having any great effect on my pain), I began to explore the possibility of medical marijuana as a solution to my pain control. I have never tried marijuana and had little desire to smoke or vape it, but was interested in edibles they have out now. I was desperate and finding myself sinking into anxiety, panic attacks and, at times, depression. My family and my husband were becoming very concerned as I was changing into a person they did not know and they were at a loss as how to help me through my circumstances. Medical Marijuana Since medical marijuana is legal in the State of Arizona, I sought out a doctor with whom I met and applied for a patient card. This process took approximately 3 weeks, including approval of my application through the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services. Upon receiving my card, I met with a licensed nurse at a dispensary to become educated about the various products and my specific needs. She was recommended by the doctor who signed off on my patient eligibility and works with a number of cancer patients to help control their symptoms. We met for over an hour. She was extremely patient with me, educating me about cannabis (which I knew little of) and gave me recommendations to try. I purchased three of her recommendations. I also decided to try getting a light massage once per week. The massages lasted for approximately three weeks before I decided to suspend them, as I found them not helpful enough to warrant the expense. Little if Any Improvement Having done everything I was asked to do in my recovery and still making little if any gains, I found myself in a very dark place emotionally, desperate to end my pain, and I was done!! One day, I was occupying my time, in between home therapy and out-patient therapy sessions, searching the Internet for anything that might literally save me. When in answer to my prayer, I came across several website postings about a therapy called X10. I shared some of it with my husband, my parents and my kids. They encouraged me to explore it more. After reading some of the patient blogs and watching a few of the videos that I could access, I made my first contact with PJ Ewing by emailing him. PJ responded very quickly telling me that the X10 Therapy and machine was not yet available in the State of Arizona, but he provided me with some other resources. I was initially devastated by this news, but I almost immediately decided that I was not going to accept that response. I instantly thought to myself, “Well, if it is not available in AZ, then maybe I can travel to wherever it is available. Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer This time, I placed a phone call to PJ and we talked for over an hour. As it so happened, in our conversation I discovered that the X10 headquarters is in Franklin, MI, and I had family who lived in Rochester, MI. PJ was more than gracious in discussing all the parameters and specifics of the possibility of travel to Michigan to undergo the X10 program. To say the least, after completion of my discussion with PJ, I heard God say “Not yet, Cathy, I still have a plan for you on this earth.” I discussed the possibilities with my husband and shared them also with my son and daughter-in-law, exploring their permission to have me as a houseguest for 2-3 weeks. Of course, they couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming. Pain Still a Big Problem My pain was still out of control, I continued out patient PT three times a week with slow or little advancement in my R&M, had my six week MUA follow-up with my surgeon only to be told I was facing a second MUA. I told my surgeon and my physical therapist about the X10 Therapy website I had discovered, and PJ sent me the clinical data to share with them. Each of them, I am grateful to say, told me they had looked at the data and were “intrigued” by the therapy plan. Both encouraged me to pursue it as an option for me, yet both also strongly indicated that enough time had passed between my first MUA and the ablation, therefore, still recommended I have the second MUA before commencing X10 Therapy. Turning to X10 Therapy after a Second MUA Once my husband and I had made the decision to pursue this plan, the wheels began to roll quickly. Initially, I scheduled the 2nd MUA and a flight out from Phoenix to Detroit by myself the next day following the MUA. I notified PJ of my plans and he began to put things in motion by placing me in contact with Mary Elliott, Melissa, Mike, a therapy Coach, Erin a Physical Therapist, and Marty, a technician for machine home delivery and set-up. The X10 Therapy approach is really a “team” approach to wellness, in addition to the machine itself and the technological programs it delivers to the patient. The Second MUA Was Coming Up As the days approached the 2nd MUA, I became extremely anxious and experienced a couple of panic attacks. I began to stress about the MUA pain, having gone through one already. The thought of flying alone, even though my son would be there to meet me at the other end of my flight, and having to get through a 4 hour flight plus 1 hour car ride to his home in pain, had me scared beyond belief. I was consumed with thinking about how I would manage my pain. Should I just knock myself out to sleep on the plane? What if that didn't work? What meds could I then take if in pain? What about my leg position – straightening and bending? How would I get help from curb, through security, to gate, onto plane and the same again when arriving including a stop at baggage claim? How am I going to sleep at night? Is this therapy going to put me back in unmanageable pain again, even though the X10 Therapy information says I am in control? What if it doesn't work? Can this end my knee recovery nightmare? And on and on and on…! Making Plans After talking it over with my husband and doctor, it was decided that I would delay my trip to Michigan for one week following the 2nd MUA. I would continue outpatient PT immediately following the MUA, but have some time to consult with a psychologist concerning my sleep depravation, fears, anxiety/depression and develop a plan to manage my pain, as well as talk to the airline for special assistance to help solve my transportation needs. My husband decided to make the trip with me for a couple of days, just to get me settled and started with X10 Therapy. Armed with a revised medication and travel plan, I notified the X10 Team of my change in start date and all were extremely understanding and accommodating. I had the 2nd MUA on January 18. I continued outpatient PT for three more sessions, in addition to my own home exercises twice per day. My daily sleep and pain control was managed better and I was counting the days until our departure date. It simply could not arrive fast enough! Friday, January 19 This will remain a very important and pivotable day in my life. My journey towards healing, life anew and well-being would begin that very day. Having endured a comfortable flight and having managed all the transportation arrangements with ease (kudos to Delta Airlines), we arrived at my son's home ready to commence what I can now claim as my own personal miracle. Within an hour, Marty arrived with a smile, this technological marvel known as the X10 machine, and a thorough first orientation/training session filled with words of encouragement and confidence. I was on my way, although until I began to see results (which were really displayed within that first session), I Had Hope I was still cautiously optimistic about where I was headed. Could I really achieve the flexion and extension goals I was unable to achieve thus far with any of my existing recovery methods? Would this therapy really enable me to manage my pain comfortably with mild medications? Could I trust my X10 therapist and her plan for me? Would the X10 team really be there for me when I needed them? Was the X10 therapy the answer to my prayers? Would I really be returning home in as little as just over 2 weeks time to see my surgeon's and physical therapist's jaws drop as they witnessed my flexion and extension reach what we all thought would be skeptical results, but instead blow them away with incredible success? It would not be long before I could actually acknowledge to myself that the answers to each of those questions would be a resounding YES! 110º Flexion Once I was able to reach the 110 degree mark for flexion, it was decided that I would add 5 min a day on the stationery bike. As I felt comfortable, I was able to increase that time in small increments and add another bike session in the evening. While my progress was measurable daily, I did experience some cramping in my right thigh and calf, dealt with some bursitis in my right hip for about two weeks, and waking with some right leg pain some nights. Taking Care of Myself I found icing and elevating regularly after each exercise session, icing my hip, heat on my upper thigh at night, Tramadol 50 mg. only twice a day with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen alternated during the day, and Theraworx Relief foam massaged in the cramping areas once or twice a day helped keep my discomfort manageable. In addition, I spent some resting time researching dietary recommendations for inflammation and pain. I incorporated tumeric, magnesium, Osteo Bi-flex, 100% Cherry or Pineapple Juice, Vitamin B6 & B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, fresh berries and decaffeinated tea with ginger, lemon and honey in my daily diet. I also decided to limit carbohydrates and sugar intake in an effort to keep my inflammatory response in check. One Week In After one week on the X10 and with constant reassurance and communication from all of my X10 team, I could actually begin to call this journey and the X10 Therapy my miracle. I had breached the 100's for flexion after starting at 55 degrees, and reached 0 degrees at the end of the first session on my extension, previously at 8 degrees. My fears, anxiety and uncertainty soon gave way to renewed love for life, joy at gaining confidence in doing daily activities again, sharing my daily success by telephone with family and friends, and hope for the future. The almost daily contact from one or more of my X10 team members answered any questions that arose, provided authentic cheerleading for my cause, and motivated me to press on for better and better results. Working with My Coach Mary called often to check in with me and was my calm and steady encourager. My conversations with her were uplifting and kind of like talking to an old friend, casual and comforting. My PT, Erin, made a home visit to discuss my history and offered varied strategies for increasing my flexion degrees, as well as made adjustments in my therapy plan due to some bursitis that I had recently developed in my right hip. She was careful to make the appropriate adjustments to my therapy plan. She and Mike (my strengthening coach and with whom I also met in person to go over exercises), together modified my plan by delaying some of the exercises, while still permitting three sessions a day for range and motion growth. Conclusions As I approach my last day of sessions on the X10 Therapy machine and a return home to Arizona tomorrow, I write my story to encourage anyone who has experienced one or more of the circumstances that I experienced subsequent to a total knee replacement. I am happy to report that I was successful in breaking through some of my scar tissue, reaching 0 degrees for my extension and 117 degrees flexion. My gait is much improved and, as I have returned to walking without a limp or dragging my surgical leg, the pain in my hip and lower back has also improved greatly. My knee recovery nightmare has finally come to an end. Some Rehab Insurance I will continue outpatient therapy immediately upon my return home in order to solidify my current range and motion, and even further improve my flexion as I am able. I write this also as a means of paying it forward to future patients of the X10 and in grateful appreciation to my X10 Team, my family and my friends who affirmed, guided, encouraged, and yes, celebrated, my X10 Therapy journey of success. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, which is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it. I absolutely cannot wait to share my experience and demonstrate my range and motion achievement in person to my surgeon and PT Team back home in Arizona.

Why This Natural Compound Can Reduce Pain Like Ibuprofen (Without the Gut Damage) | Podcast #470
Just a half teaspoon of this natural anti-inflammatory acts as a potent ibuprofen substitute for inflammation and pain relief. Discover the best home remedies for pain and inflammation, and learn how to address inflammation at the root. 0:00 Introduction: Natural ibuprofen substitute 0:18 Curcumin, the natural anti-inflammatory 1:58 Pain relievers and ibuprofen comparison 2:08 Ibuprofen effects 3:25 Turmeric as a natural remedy vs. ibuprofen 4:32 More natural pain relief alternatives 6:15 Triggers of pain and inflammation8:25 Preventing inflammation Turmeric contains a potent compound called curcumin that can naturally alleviate pain and inflammation.There are 4 biochemical pathways that act as “master switches” to turn pain and inflammation up or down:1. Pain and inflammatory factory2. Master inflammation on-switch3. Inflammation megaphone 4. Backup inflammatory alarm system Many inflammatory treatments do not address all four pathways. Ibuprofen is great at turning the pain and inflammation switch off, and does so very quickly. Unfortunately, this pathway protects the stomach and kidneys, so ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney issues. It also doesn't address the other inflammatory pathways, which is why people often have to take it repeatedly. Tylenol works in the brain, affecting the central nervous system, but does not relieve any inflammation. Similar to ibuprofen, aspirin works on the first inflammatory pathway, which can also affect your stomach.Turmeric affects 3 out of the 4 inflammatory pathways! A double-blind randomized controlled study found that taking 1500 mg of turmeric with black pepper produced results comparable to ibuprofen without the side effects. Extra-virgin olive oil mimics ibuprofen's effects at the molecular level. Try adding it to your salad regularly! Ginger and omega-3 fatty acids also work to reduce inflammation. Boswellia targets the 5-LOX pathway, also known as the backup inflammatory alarm system.There are 5 primary causes that flip the inflammatory switches on, leading to pain and inflammation in the body. By addressing the root cause, you can correct the pain rather than simply managing it. The following 5 factors turn on all of the inflammatory switches:1. Insulin resistance2. Mitochondrial damage3. Chronic oxidative stress4. Leaky gut5. Chronic infectionsTo prevent inflammation and address the root cause, try the following:• Low-carb diet • Eliminate ultra-processed foods• Intermittent fasting/prolonged fasting• Magnesium, vitamin D3, zinc, omega-3sDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Episode Description:
Send us a textEpisódio 69 — Controvérsias sobre persistência do canal arterial em prematuros: o que a evidência realmente mostraA persistência do canal arterial em prematuros segue sendo um dos temas mais debatidos da neonatologia moderna — e talvez um dos mais desafiadores. Durante anos, aprendemos que identificar e fechar o canal era sinônimo de fazer o “certo”. Mas, à medida que grandes ensaios clínicos foram publicados, essa certeza começou a ruir.Neste episódio especial, mergulhamos nas principais evidências que mudaram — e continuam mudando — a forma como pensamos o canal arterial: por que ele se mantém aberto, o que realmente acontece do ponto de vista hemodinâmico, quando (e se) devemos intervir, e quais desfechos importam de verdade.Revisitamos estudos marcantes, discutimos suas perguntas, métodos, resultados e implicações práticas, trazendo o olhar crítico para o contexto das UTIs neonatais brasileiras — onde os recursos, as rotinas e os desafios nem sempre são os mesmos dos grandes centros de pesquisa.Mais do que procurar respostas definitivas, o episódio convida à reflexão: o canal arterial é vilão, espectador ou marcador da imaturidade extrema? Estamos ajudando nossos pacientes quando intervimos precocemente — ou apenas fechando um número no ecocardiograma?1.

Weihrauch steht seit Jahrhunderten für Schutz, Reinigung und Transzendenz. Der aufsteigende Rauch symbolisiert Verbindung, Festlichkeit und spirituelle Präsenz. Doch hinter dieser kulturellen Bedeutung verbirgt sich ein Naturstoff, der heute aus einem völlig anderen Grund wissenschaftlich relevant ist. Woraus besteht Weihrauch? Aus dem Harz verschiedener Boswellia-Bäume. Gewonnen aus der angeschnittenen Rinde, getrocknet und weiterverarbeitet, enthält es eine Gruppe bioaktiver Substanzen, die als Boswellia-Säuren bekannt sind. Diese Stoffe sind es, die Weihrauch aus biologischer Perspektive interessant machen. In diesem HEALTH NERDS Deep Dive ordnen Podcast-Host Felix Moese und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum die biochemischen Mechanismen von Weihrauch ein. Der Fokus liegt auf Entzündungsprozessen und hier insbesondere auf der sogenannten Leukotrien-Achse. Leukotriene sind entzündungsfördernde Botenstoffe des Immunsystems, die vor allem bei chronisch aktiven Entzündungen eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Boswellia-Säuren greifen genau an dieser Stelle regulierend ein und dämpfen Entzündungswege, die bei dauerhaft aktivierten Immunprozessen relevant sind. Damit unterscheidet sich Weihrauch grundlegend von klassischen Entzündungshemmern wie Ibuprofen oder Diclofenac. Diese wirken primär über die Hemmung der Prostaglandin-Synthese und entfalten ihre Effekte vor allem bei akuten Entzündungen und Schmerzen. Weihrauch hingegen entfaltet seine Wirkung nicht sofort und nicht symptomorientiert, sondern setzt auf langfristige Modulation chronischer Entzündungsprozesse. Deshalb ist Weihrauch kein Akut-Schmerzmittel, kann aber bei bestimmten chronischen Krankheitsbildern eine ergänzende Rolle spielen. Mögliche Einsatzgebiete sind Kniegelenkarthrose, chronisch entzündliche Darmerkrankungen, allergische Erkrankungen und Asthma. Wichtig dabei ist die Unterscheidung zwischen wissenschaftlich belegten Effekten und überzogenen Erwartungen. Denn: Entscheidend ist nicht der Name Weihrauch, sondern die Qualität des standardisierten Extrakts, die Konzentration der Boswellia-Säuren und eine ausreichend lange Einnahmedauer.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Tami Rowen discuss the controversy surrounding the use of Tylenol during pregnancy and its potential link to autism. She emphasizes that the evidence is largely anecdotal and not supported by robust scientific studies. Dr. Rowen highlights a study published in Environmental Health in 2025 that found a weak association between Tylenol use and autism, but adds that a subsequent study revealed flaws in the earlier study and showed no association. Fever in pregnant women can have dangerous effects and should be relieved. She stresses that Tylenol is the safest pain reliever and fever reducer for pregnant women, who experience fevers in 20% of pregnancies. Dr. Rowen criticizes the media and some health officials for misrepresenting the risks, potentially leading to harmful decisions by pregnant women. Key Takeaways: Tylenol is the safest option that we have in terms of a fever reducer and pain reliever. Fevers actually have more association with autism than Tylenol does in the research. On the other hand, Ibuprofen and NSAIDs are unsafe in pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. "Pregnancy is quite an uncomfortable state of being. We tell pregnant women, and we tell women in general, to tough out a lot of things, but pain is not something that I think is reasonable. I think that it goes against the principle of doing no harm, to tell people they should just suffer with pain when there is actually effective and safe medication for them." — Dr. Tami Rowen Episode References: The Conversation Article: https://theconversation.com/as-an-ob-gyn-i-see-firsthand-how-misleading-statements-on-acetaminophen-leave-expectant-parents-confused-fearful-and-lacking-in-options-265947 Connect with Dr. Tami Rowen: Professional Bio: https://profiles.ucsf.edu/tami.rowen Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky:@CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

From a U. S. Army Combat Veteran Mindset to Tractor Supply Leadership: Building Teams, Safety, and Continuous Improvement This week, Marcus and Melanie welcome Rodney Bailey, a devoted husband, father, and decorated U.S. Army combat veteran whose leadership has been shaped by four combat tours and distinguished honors, including the Purple Heart and Meritorious Service Medal. He now applies that mission-driven discipline at Tractor Supply Company, where he leads operations and continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen safety, streamline performance, and unlock millions in new production capacity. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Human Performance Advocate, Rodney is committed to developing leaders and building teams who pursue excellence with pride and purpose. A lifelong learner who embraces challenge, he is currently earning his Doctorate in Business with a focus on Strategy and Innovation. Through it all, he remains anchored in faith, family, and service—values that also inspired his children's book, God Is Bigger Than a Bear. A National Impact Rooted in Community Marcus and Melanie also welcome Lindsay Grayson, who serves as the Chief Revenue Officer at K9s For Warriors, overseeing the Development and Marketing teams as she drives brand visibility, deepens donor engagement, and accelerates revenue growth for the nation's largest provider of trained service dogs for military veterans. Since joining the organization, Lindsay has reshaped its fundraising trajectory—boosting revenue by 70% in her first year and leading K9s For Warriors to a historic, record-setting year of giving in 2023. Her performance and impact earned her recognition as a Jacksonville Business Journal Women of Influence honoree. Prior to her nonprofit leadership career, Lindsay worked as a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch, guiding clients through strategic planning and long-term financial goals. A Jacksonville native and proud spouse of an Air Force veteran and First Responder, she finds joy in family time, travel, live music, and cheering on her children, Lucas and Ebby. In This Episode You Will Hear: • At redeployment, something happened to me. During Ramadi, they started really looking at traumatic brain injuries. They started putting sensors in the helmets. (30:34) • If you didn't lose a liter of blood or you're not missing a body part, it's Ibuprofen & water. (30:54) • When I got back and they hooked up my helmet, and they're like: “something's up.” (31:02) • At 31:10, Rodney tells of one of his traumatic brain injury events as a 50 cal gunner. [He hit the gun at 20mph. It was the only thing that kept him from being thrown from the vehicle. • I did about 5 months in another deployment and was Medivacked out to Germany with another head injury. (32:29) • It wasn't like I had to learn to walk again. I had to learn how to walk straight. (33:35) • You know that you have to wait for that 30, 45 to 90 second, depending on what kind of round it is. And then you hear the sound – “Here it is.” You gotta run, just hoping that it doesn't hit you. (36:05) • There's beauty in some fights. (38:33) • Sometimes there's like a calm and pause in war. (42:35) • If you're gonna transition from the military, I think there's some things that are grounded in you – core beliefs, values, and everything like that. (49:26) • At Tractor Supply, one of the things that brought me to it is the core missions and values. (49:46) • 10% of all people who work for Tractor Supply are veterans. (50:46) • This was the first company that actually told me, “Hey, go home and spend time with your family.” (51:13) • [Lindsay] Tractor [Supply} has helped put mor leashes in the hands of veterans, and they really believe in our mission. (54:51) • Lindsay shares how veterans go about applying for a canine from CaninesforWarriors.org. (55:31) • [Marcus] We're conditioned to come in – we're not conditioned to get out.

Send us a textThis discussion features Dr. Clyde Wright, Professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, who studies perinatal innate immunity and neonatal lung injury. He highlights the rapid rise of acetaminophen as the most commonly used medication for ductal closure in preterm infants despite limited long-term safety data. Dr. Wright explains how acetaminophen metabolism via CYP2E1 produces a reactive metabolite that may affect mitochondrial function in developing lung cells, prompting consideration beyond hepatic toxicity markers. He encourages clinicians to remain judicious, especially outside optimal treatment windows, and calls for research incorporating respiratory outcomes and nuanced, individualized risk–benefit discussions at the bedside.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Most people assume that if a drug sits on the shelf at Costco or Walgreens, it must be pretty safe. But what if some of the most common over-the-counter (OTC) medications are among the riskiest drugs in America? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared exposes the hidden dangers behind everyday pain relievers, sleep aids, and heartburn drugs—medicines that cause thousands of deaths every year when misused or taken long-term. You'll learn how a drug becomes “OTC,” what happens when pharmaceutical companies push for that switch, and why the FDA's approval process might not tell the whole story. Jared dives into the startling realities of PPIs like Prilosec, NSAIDs like ibuprofen, and acetaminophen (Tylenol)—uncovering their risks to the liver, kidneys, bones, and brain. He also discusses how marketing convinces consumers these drugs are harmless. Finally, Jared offers a resource for safe, natural alternatives for reflux, pain, inflammation, sleep, and immune support—options that nourish the body instead of depleting it. This episode will change the way you look at “harmless” OTC drugs and help you take real control of your health.Just Ingredients Lemon Swish Protein Powder Vitality Radio POW!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared explores why gallbladder removal has become one of the most common surgeries in America—and why it may not be the best solution. Too often, modern medicine treats the gallbladder as disposable, removing it without addressing the real root causes of bile problems, gallstones, or digestive distress. Jared breaks down what the gallbladder does, why it matters for digestion, nutrient absorption, and detoxification, and how stress, diet, and liver health all play a role in gallbladder function. You'll learn practical strategies to protect and support your gallbladder naturally, as well as tools for those already living without one. From lifestyle changes and mindful eating to supplements like digestive enzymes, ox bile, apple cider vinegar, bitters, and liver support nutrients, Jared highlights effective ways to restore balance to digestion and keep your bile flowing smoothly. Whether you still have your gallbladder or not, this episode will give you the insight and confidence to take better care of your digestive health.Products:Back on TractApple Cider VinegarWishgarden Badass BittersLiverVitalityOx BileTUDCAAdditional Information:#507: Comprehensive Digestive Support to Get Your Gut ‘Back On Tract'!#552: Grandma Was Right!

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: Recorded March 2025 What is the best treatment for a fever? Tylenol? Ibuprofen? Combined? Alternating the two? The journal Pediatrics aimed to answer this question with a meta-analysis of 31 randomized controlled trials including 5,009 febrile children. Results showed that both combined and alternating acetaminophen/ibuprofen regimens were significantly more effective at reducing fever at 4 and 6 hours compared with acetaminophen alone, with numbers needed to treat (NNT) of 3 and 4, respectively. High-dose ibuprofen alone also offered modest benefit (NNT 8). What dose should I use? Oral acetaminophen 10 to 15 mg/kg Every 4–6 hours as needed Do not exceed 75 mg/kg/day (or 4,000 mg/day maximum for older/larger kids) Oral ibuprofen 5 to 10 mg/kg Every 6–8 hours as needed Do not exceed 40 mg/kg/day (or 2,400 mg/day maximum for older/larger kids) References De la Cruz-Mena JE, Veroniki AA, Acosta-Reyes J, Estupiñán-Bohorquez A, Ibarra JA, Pana MC, Sierra JM, Florez ID.

In this episode of the Bacon, Bibles, and Barbells Podcast, some of the High Calling Fitness Coach Justin breaks down 10 supplements that people may think are HARMLESS, but can actually cause real damage to your overall health when used for too long or in the wrong context over time. Unfortunately, Coach Bill was not able to finish out the podcast due to storms in his area and internet issues towards the beginning of the show. The "supplement" industry is kind of like the wild, wild west right now in the health and fitness industry. There are a lot of these things that can be used properly in the right context with the right person, but we never recommend just starting a supplement that a friend recommends or that might fit your symptoms without careful analysis. Some of these things can REALLY harm your body when used in the wrong context or for too long of a period of time. Find out what ones we are most leery of when consulting with clients and which ones we have seen do the most damage by diving into this podcast!

Are over-the-counter painkillers silently wrecking your liver? Tylenol for a headache. Ibuprofen for sore muscles. PM meds to help you sleep. They're so common we don't think twice… but your liver does. Your liver is one of the hardest-working organs in your body, and when it's overworked or congested, everything suffers—your hormones, your energy, your digestion, even your sleep. The good news? It's also one of the most resilient organs you have. With the right care, you can restore its function and unlock better energy, clearer thinking, and hormonal harmony. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart shares:

What Parents Really Need to Know About Fevers in KidsFevers can feel scary—but they're often a sign that your child's immune system is doing exactly what it's meant to do. In this episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're sharing a naturopath's perspective on why fever is a healthy immune response, when to worry (and when not to), and how to confidently support your child through it without unnecessary medication.Whether you're a first-time parent or you've dealt with a dozen midnight wakeups and thermometer checks, this episode will give you the clarity and calm you need to better understand and manage fevers at home.Here's what we cover:Why fever is not the enemy and how it helps your child fight infection by speeding up white blood cell activity and slowing the growth of microbes.What most parents don't realise about fever medications including their risks, from gut irritation to depleting glutathione and links to respiratory complications.Why febrile convulsions aren't prevented by medication and what to do instead.When to treat the child, not the number — plus signs to watch for, and when to seek urgent medical attention based on age and symptoms.
Did you know that close to 300,000 people a year die of iatrogenic disease in the United States? That's dying from the side effects of medication. Dr. Martin thinks that number is crazy and cautions listeners to be careful with over-the-counter medications. Dr. Martin looks at an article pointing out the potential kidney and stomach damage from using ibuprofen regularly. It's not good and can lead to renal failure if you're not careful. Dr. Martin also comments on several other studies about resistance training, the positive impact of sunlight in prostate cancer and the role of diet in cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients.

What's the problem with antibiotics anyway? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared passionately answers this question. There is no antibiotic that doesn't cause harm. That's not to say they don't have their place, but as Jared explains, they are almost never necessary and almost always prescribed for common problems like UTI's and sinus infections. You'll learn why many infections don't need, and won't respond to antibiotics, the ramifications of even a single dose of antibiotics, and how antibiotic superbugs are a real problem. Jared delves into why antibiotics are overused, side effects of particularly dangerous forms, and the effects on mental health and the immune system. This show will be followed with one on antibiotic alternatives and ways to rebuild your microbiome after antibiotic exposure.Additional Information:#264: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 1 - From Addiction and Mental Illness to Vitality#266: Prescribing Poisons Part 2.

As the train rolls by like our conscious lives. I can kinda swallow and breathe again and Ibuprofen is starting to put a dent in it. Even the Daily show says they made Covid in a Chinese lab now. Joe Rogan was right all along? I don't mean to hop on a trend. I don't need to see Adam Duritz stirring up a glaze in a bowl and talking about it. The ravages of time. You're looking at something that does not exist anymore. It's not there. It's gone. A conscious social break slash detox. Everything that's old has become new again. The human experience is a quite diverse quilt of sparkling madness and sadness. President Trump is back and the golden age of America has most definitely begun. We gotta stay and fight for it. The storms of outrage and fury and anger blow right by. Rosie O'Donnell is a coward.
This week's ep. kicks off with a Fashion Report about fake Adidas from Target. Amy is wracking up the frequent flyer miles. Amy describes the free-for-all that is the Southwest experience. She's also headed to New Orleans, and Maya suggests doing some “witchy stuff” and a “ghost tour”. The ladies take a deep dive into this season of Love Is Blind. Turns out that Love is Bland in Minnesota. Fun fact: Amy's former co-worker is on LIB. Monica, we love you, but what the hell is a sock bin? Also, the guy that was “addicted” to Advil? Amy's dog ruined the dog park with her runaway ways. Damn Sadie! Let's be clear, reading a book or wearing headphones are a definite social cue to leave me the eff alone. Next up, the ladies recap the Oscars. Conan did the most! Approved/Denied: Starbucks plus AC/DC Thunderstruck.

But today's guest explains why this crucial molecule plays a key role in our bodies—and the tell-tale signs of low production that can ultimately contribute to chronic disease. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan to explore why nitric oxide is the holy grail of molecules for long-term health—and the top lifestyle factors that can make or break its production. Dr. Bryan ranks the biggest disruptors of nitric oxide, including alcohol, poor sleep, a sedentary lifestyle, ultra-processed foods, and chronic stress, and dives into the latest research on how they impact your body. He also breaks down the critical role nitric oxide plays in disease prevention, from chronic illness to Alzheimer's. If you're looking for a masterclass on how to boost nitric oxide production and what habits you need to tweak, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Nathan Bryan is a renowned biomedical researcher known for his groundbreaking work on nitric oxide (NO) biology. Dr. Bryan's research has significantly advanced our understanding of NO's critical roles in cardiovascular health, immune function, and neurobiology. Beyond academia, he advocates for public health, translating his research into practical solutions for improving human health. His new book is The Secret of Nitric Oxide. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Bryan dive into: How alcohol impacts nitric oxide production (00:31) Why nitric oxide is crucial for health (03:12) The dangers of nicotine and smoking on nitric oxide (04:36) The controversy around seed oils (10:17) How dangerous are ultra-processed foods (18:43) How nitric oxide is created and what chronic stress does to production (26:10) Sedentary lifestyle and its impact on health risks (33:39) Nightly desserts and glucose monitoring (42:10) Intermittent fasting and the importance of meal personalization (50:15) Antiseptic mouthwash, bad breath, and the microbiome (54:09) Nitric oxide benchmarks and what test strips measure (58:50) Lack of optimal sun exposure (01:11:57) Eating nitrate-rich foods and carnivore diet concerns (01:15:14) Hydration's role in nitric oxide levels (01:21:27) Ibuprofen, inflammation, and nitric oxide (01:23:11) N101 products and final thoughts (01:29:22) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. Nathan Bryan's book - The Secret of Nitric Oxide https://www.n101nutrition.com/ Try This-Firefighter Study For more on Dr. Nathan, follow him on Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, YouTube, and his Website.

Contributor: Ricky Dhaliwal, MD Educational Pearls: Ketorolac and ibuprofen are NSAIDs with equivalent efficacy for pain in the emergency department Oral ibuprofen provides the same relief as intramuscular ketorolac IM ketorolac is associated with the adverse effect of a painful injection IM ketorolac is slightly faster in onset but not significant Studies have assessed the two medications in head-to-head randomized-controlled trials and found no significant difference in pain scores IM ketorolac takes longer to administer and has a higher cost Ketorolac dosing Commonly given in 10 mg, 15 mg, and 30 mg doses However, higher doses are associated with more adverse effects Gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and bleeding risk Studies have demonstrated equal efficacy in pain reduction with lower doses References Motov S, Yasavolian M, Likourezos A, et al.

In 2013, The ACOG's Hypertension Task Force suggested that NSAIDS not be used in postpartum patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy due to theoretical concerns on BP aggravation. But “medicine moves fast”. In 2020, the ACOG “green lighted” ibuprofen use postpartum in these patients if no evidence of renal insufficiency was present. In episode, we will review a brand-new publication (soon to come out), in AJOG, released ahead of print on February 10, 2025. This study is a randomized trial also evaluating the effect of ibuprofen on blood pressure control in those with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Did they find something new? This highlights the importance of going through an entire study's materials and methods focusing on the years of patient recruitment to properly interpret results. Listen in for details!

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that is often used in pediatrics. Hyperglycemia, insomnia, and GI upset are relatively common adverse effects. Ibuprofen is a commonly used OTC pain reliever. It is classified as an NSAID and can increase GI bleed risk and exacerbate heart failure. Aceon is the brand name for perindopril. ACE inhibitors are well known to cause drug induced cough and will cause hyperkalemia. Trazodone is classified as an antidepressant but is frequently used to treat insomnia because of its sedative properties. Pioglitazone is an oral anti-diabetes medication that should be avoided in patients with heart failure.
Ibuprofen is a very popular medication among runners. I have seen ibuprofen tablets scattered on the course at every marathon and triathlon I have ever done. Runners take it when they have aches and pains, or to get through races, but I can tell you that there is only one valid reason to take ibuprofen. To me, the only time a runner with a stress fracture should take ibuprofen is when you have what I call a non-skippable race. Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we're talking about the only time a runner with a stress fracture should take ibuprofen.
Nearly all pain relievers on the market use the phrase “for fast, temporary relief.” Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen – they’ll give a little relief, for a little while. But when it comes to forgiveness of our sin, we’re more interest in “immediate, everlasting relief” from our guilt and guile. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the story of the first Passover, we’ll see God provided a solution for sin that forever paid the price that had to be paid.
