Call it what you wish, Voodoo, Witchcraft, "BS", whatever, but it DID work for me. Having recently torn the cartilage in my left knee, simultaneously diagnosed "with a little arthritis" in the same, and swelling behind the knee. My Sport's Ortho said that the swelling was common with the torn cartilage but should go down in time. I began searching on the Web for a magical pain relief remedy (other than my already supplementation of Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondrotin, Taurine, Collagen, HA, Cats Claw, Bromelain, MSM, etc., etc., etc - .all of which I have been taking for years due to 27 yrs of cycling but at almost 68yo, something had to give). One subject that kept surfacing on the Searches was an old time remedy of Castor Oil. I'm not in terrible pain, but it is a 24/7 aggravation, as anyone who has similar discomforts can attest to. I decided to give it a try; purchased a package of ladies' cosmetic, cleansing pads (~3"x4") and a small bottle of Castor Oil (CO), I placed a pad on a saucer, saturated the pad with CO (not dripping) and popped it into the microwave for about 35 secs. I, then placed the (105F) warm pad on my knee; wrapped my knee-pad with plastic wrap (to keep the CO from staining the heating pad) and then applied a heating pad, set to Med. heat. I left it on for about 1 hour and when I removed everything, I did a "test walk" -not only was my knee not stiff, and the swelling was 95% GONE!! I could walk with 100% less discomfort and this was 10x more effective than the Cortisone or three Hydraluronic Acid injections I had received in a two months period. The other nice thing, is that you don't have to throw the saturated pad away; place in a Ziploc bag for the next application and just add a little more CO.
I generally apply this treatment daily, each time the knee feels better - I know it's not going to remedy the situation 100%, but has made my life much better.

Shoe or Insole Alignment
★★★★★
Didnt really know how to word that title.
TLDR: If you get a random recurring sharp pain in your foot or knee, check your shoes or insoles. If the soles of your shoes are worn unevenly or the insole is setting a bit crooked even slightly, it can cause you to experience random sharp pains in your foot or knee.
This has happened to me at random many times over the years. Here recently it was pretty bad. Happening in my left foot. I'd get a sudden sharp pain in my ankle/foot while walking that would have me almost unable to walk for a few minutes til it calmed down. After a few days of this, I ended up remembering that I had the insoles out of my shoes a day or so before the issue began. I pulled the insoles out, started experimenting with placement by rocking it one way or the other and testing it out, and surprise, a major issue completely resolved. The difference was very subtle. My foot felt completely comfortable in the shoe, looking in the shoe, the placement looked fine. Even when I adjusted it, it didnt really feel different. But it made all the difference in the world for that random sharp pain.
Today, I noticed I was getting a random sharp pain in my knee. As someone that has been dealing with knee pain/inflammation for a long time, I didnt think much of it at first. But just happened to remember that I had to bang my shoes out before work as they were left in an area they might have gotten spiders or other critters in them. Pull my shoes off, adjusted the insole, and the issue is gone. Same story as before, it was a subtle difference, that I didnt notice at all except for the random sharp pain in my knee.
Trigger Points
★★★★★
1. If the pain is in my upper molars, I will lay flat in bed, grab the bed post behind me pull into a full extension stretch of my shoulder. I Pull until I feel relief and then hold for about a minute or two. The stretch tends to hit a trigger point in the lower cranial region.
2. If the pain is in my lower molars, I will lay flat with my shoulders at the edge of my bed and head slightly off the bed. Then I twist to my left, the side where I'm experiencing the pain, shifting slightly and holding in the spot where I feel relief from the pain. Then hold that position for a few minutes and release. This too hits a trigger point in the lower cranial region.
I have found the nerve has three branches, each one with its own trigger point.
As for the ear ache…I have only experienced that once, and as yet have not found that one. But I will post it if I do find it.

I wonder if you could make an appointment with an Orthopedist? You may have a fracture that an x-ray did not make clear. An Ortho would order an MRI to get a better look into the problem. If it is broken, it would not be unusual that you are sensing a difference in the sensation and it would not be all that unusual that you don't know how it happened.
I speak from the experience of having a similar-sounding problem several years ago when my ankle gave me trouble. Our small local hospital did not have an MRI machine, so the doctor simply told me it was not broken. Luckily, my husband advised me to see an Orthopedist, who ordered an MRI, diagnosed the fracture, and put me in the proper boot cast. It healed quickly after that. I hope you will soon find your answer.
Baking Soda
★★★★★
I take 1 teaspoon in the morning, noon, night with 8 oz of water mix well until glass is clear. If. I have pain I add the same dosage every two hours.
★★★★★
I have been taking a tablespoon once a day but I am going to start to take it two times a day because it is working some for me so if I double that amount I feel as I will get faster results.
Turmeric Pain Paste
SO ....Turmeric powder, Black Pepper and EITHER Grape Seed oil OR Coconut oil and Water mixed together. Then gently heated up in a ceramic bowl till it forms a paste, allow to cool and smear on the annoying, affected part. That was what I was told to do for PAIN a good while ago but what are the amounts please? Was wondering if this one could be good for the Dreaded Bursitis also (now that's Painful)!
Thanks in anticipation for the correct quantities. Also, would one substitute Cayenne Pepper for Black Pepper or does it matter? So many questions...so little time...so little ready cash... so much to do!? Thank God for E.C. eh?
Cheers, Michael
Thanks for your thoughts on the Turmeric Pain Paste: most appreciated!
I have been a bit nervous of the DMSO but if that what it takes to get the "good stuff" deep down into where it will do some good, then I must consider it! It's my observation that, unfortunately, the body does not self-heal as easily or as quickly as one gets older, so it might need the DMSO to encourage that process along possibly-acting as a sort of catalyst? It concerns me that some folks who are unwilling to embark on a self-help journey may be imprisoned by their maladies un-necessarily? Maybe they just don't have the knowledge or the self-discipline to take those necessary steps on the path to a more pain-free world? That observation is partly why I like Earth Clinic so much. Often the visit to the doctor only leads to disappointment, frustration or anger or tick all of the above. I have a very sympathetic doctor who, to his credit, has admitted that they just don't have the answers to some conditions that plague millions of sufferers. "Just keep on taking the tablets". You would think they might be clever enough (humble enough?) to learn some wholesome, healing techniques. Being aware that too much specialized training narrows the mind, Mao used to send his Chinese engineers out into the country-side to actually build a dam with their bare hands! Shock horror! So, maybe not in my lifetime! Our (Kiwi) medical training is supposed to be World Class and no doubt it is: Kiwis are often pretty effective in their chosen fields (we "Punch above our weight"-ha) but the two best doctors I ever had were from the USA. - not sure which State they were from- you have SO MANY of them! There you go-a feather in your collective caps for y'all. Well done over there!
Cheers, Michael

I had a think and then took the following supplements:
A decoction of Makabuhay (Tinospora cordifolia) -- Also known as Gudduchi in Ayurvedic medicine. Took it to get rid of the pain -- worked a treat as usual. This is the best remedy I have for any inflammation or pain problems in the tissues. Half a glass of the decoction, with water and fresh fruit juice, twice a day. Very bitter.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (300 mgs twice a day with food)-- To heal any nerve problems.
Lugol's iodine -- 8 drops a day to kill any involved pathogens. Also helps to heal bone problems like osteoporosis.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) -- To heal tissues problems and to reduce pain and inflammation. One teaspoon (5 grams) a day.
Brewer's Yeast -- One tablespoon a day to heal the nerves.
Borax (1/4 tspn per day in water) -- To kill any pathogens involved in any arthritic or rheumatic problems. Also balances hormones and removes fluoride from the body.
Magnesium Oil (sat solution of magnesium chloride) -- 10 drops twice a day to help heal bone/tissue problems.
This is how I took the supplements.
Took the Makabuhay first thing in the morning and last thing at night on its own. This remedy was free from my own garden.
Mixed Borax, MSM and Sodium Bicarbonate(1/2 tspn) in a large glass of water. Taken once a day. Sipped this throughout the day. Occasionally added magnesium oxide(1/4 tspn) to this mix for higher alkalinity. Taken outside mealtimes.
Drank lots of water.
Took Magnesium oil, Brewer's Yeast and ALA at mealtimes with a glass of water. If I got the ALA burning sensation after a meal -- I just took a glass of sodium bicarb with water (1/2 hour after the meal) which would get rid of this problem in minutes.
Lugol's Iodine -- 8 drops a day in a glass of water outside mealtimes on its own.
This protocol has worked well and the pain in my damaged hip has all but gone now but I'll be staying on this protocol for another month at least just to make sure.
My hip where I had bone marrow biopsy hurts only occasionally (in my weakest times) so I immediately place large magnet over it for about 15 min and all the pain and inflammation is gone.
The squatting is probably a form of "earthing" and earthing is the same principle of energy medicine as magnets. I sleep on a magnet pad nightly, wear a belt for about 2 hrs daily, and use strong magnet over any severe place like liver. I have several times achieved substantial reduction in BP w/ large magn over liver.
Anyway, welcome back.
Apple Cider Vinegar
★☆☆☆☆
Chronic Ankle Pain Remedies
Topically, castor oil may be of help. It is good for pain and seems to draw out offending things at the same time.
Good quality peppermint essential oil topically is also really good for pain and can be healing.
Apple Cider Vinegar is also something we use for pain. Last night two of my children slept with an apple cider vinegar poultice - one to reduce the pain and swelling from a red wasp sting and another had twisted an ankle during a kickball game. Both were much improved today. I soaked a cloth in vinegar, wrapped the pained part, wrapped that in plastic wrap and then covered it with a sock. She could try wrapping her foot this way over night a few nights a week for a month and see how it goes.
Many find the Apple Cider Vinegar (raw, unpasteurized) to help pain when taken internally as well. 1 T. in 8 oz. Of water twice a day. With honey if desired.
Pete Escogue has a book called "Pain Free" which might be of help. Check out the reviews on amazon.
Please let us know how it goes!
