Just a couple days ago, I took a nasty fall from my horse.  I’m feeling much better now, but I was really worried for a while there.

I’ve been pretty sore yesterday and today as a result of my fall.  I’ve been dealing with stiffness and some lingering pain that tends to clear up the more I move around — but when I’m sitting still and then I get up again, not even a couple of Motrin really cut through it.  And in any case, I really don’t like depending too much on drugs, so I’ve been on the lookout for alternative types of pain relief — since of course I know it’ll happen again.

Besides Motrin, my usual methods of dealing with pain consist of hot baths and using bags of frozen peas as ice packs.  However, there is apparently a more effective way of chronic pain management that doesn’t require drugs — magnet therapy products enable you to control pain with nothing more than a scientifically generated magnetic field.  This can be used for things like lower back pain relief — something that could definitely come in handy, since my lower back seems to be my landing point of choice when I fall off my horse!

This totally isn’t me, but for some reason it makes me feel better to watch videos of other people falling off horses:
