sensei8 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 When my sister was a teenager, she cut her hand pretty good on the palm while visiting our grandparents. My grandpa's remedy was...pour salt into the wound...my sister screamed until our grandpa gave her a clean sock to bite down on. I think the sock was to shut her up, not to help her deal with the pain.All this time...I thought..."Pouring salt into a wound" was just an old-wifes expression...until I saw it first hand. Better my sister than me! **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espina Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 With all due respect... yes, I think that was very dumb hehehehehe.One time I was playing soccer (as a goalkeeper) and basketball with my high-school team, so my hands used to be pretty hurt all the time, specially my fingers.One day playing soccer another guy kick my hand while I was trying to grab the ball. He hit me in my small finger of my left hand.I was so scared when I looked at my finger and found it pointing the other direction... I tried to relocate it, and then I tried to convince myself that nothing bad happened.Now a days I'm not totally capable of moving it hehehhe, I didn't want to go to the doctor. Now I regret a lot. Maybe I could have use of mi pinky finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't imagine what it must've felt like to have to have reset your finger...OUCH! **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espina Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I passed away hehehhe. I laid conscienceless over the filed for a couple of minutes and then I woke up, not knowing where I was or what happened to me... until I started to feel the pain again heheheheh.I don't wish this to anyone, not even an enemy.

tallgeese Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ice, later heat. Lots of ibuprophen. I mean lots. I have some topical acetomenaphin from otc in europe that I'm experimenting with as well.Did I mention ibuprophen? http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espina Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 I remember, when the dentist took out of me 4 teeth that acetaminophen is not a good idea when you are bleeding, since it makes harder for the blood to get solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It is a blood thinner for sure. It's part of my cocktail I use for climbing above 10,000 ft. just for that purpose, but that's another story.Still, it's application for joint and muscule pain is very worthwhile. If I have bleeding that I'm having that much trouble controlling, I'm going to the doctor. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truestar Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Because I think it has the main component of cartilageYeah I can almost see it. But consuming something as delicious as jello having a noticeable and positive impact on my joints? A deeper medical explanation would drive me to heaven.
