Inflammation is a condition where your body attempts to protect itself and heal the pain caused from an injury or infection. Some of the common symptoms of inflammation that may occur are swelling, irritated skin, severe pain and loss of function or full movement of that particular body part.

2) Avoided temporarily foods containing caffeine in any form weather natural or otherwise:

6.  Sufficient Sleep and Rest Especially at Night: If you have chronic pain like I had, then it is advised you retire early to bed and give your body the needed rest required to heal,  if you fail in this area, no matter the amount of drugs or medication, you may never get better.  This knowledge also helped heal the pain, it was strictly observed.

7.  Daily Massage with Natural Shea butter mixed Coconut Oil: This may look like the least,but its actually not. Pain is an inflammation no matter the location, physical massage with oils like shea butter mixed extra virgin coconut oil helped me in this case.  There are other good oils out there that are very good for massage too. However shea butter and coconut oil mixture both  has anti inflammatory properties and helps reduce swelling and ensure blood flow gets to the area.  This method applies to most cases of pains, irrespective of the location.  The pain is your body's way of notifying you that all is not well, it is necessary to discourage further swelling by using these massage creams.

8.  Consumed Raw fruits like pineapple:  Bromelian a unique ingredient in pineapple is beneficial in reducing pains.  This special nutrient is rare but available in good amount in fresh pineapple.  However, care was taken in consuming just small quantity of the fruit, due to its sweet taste and glycemic index  which if consumed in too large amount could raise blood sugar thereby presenting a negative result.  So When next you have pains, do not forget pineapples, there are natural pain killers in pineapple but do not overdo it.   Moderation should be the rule.
