Response:

For pain from excercising Wintergreen Oil works for me.  But I perfer Thyme oil which seems to work well.  I have never seen it perscribed for pain in any books though.  Be careful when messing with Amino Acids.  You can throw your system out of wack with them.  I know you are looking for natural methods, but Advil rules for most kinds of pain.  Try popping a few advil and munch on a carrot or something so you don’t feel guilty… One thing I think is really funny is that sometimes I am in so much pain I can’t move and then the wind will come up on the ocean and I will forget all about how much I hurt and windsurf all day long, not even thinking about the pain.         Surfsteve
