Classical Music for Aficionados

rvpiano, I had knee replacement last December.  I did not know what pain was until after my surgery.  I had a period of about a week when I didn't get much sleep and there was no relief from the ever present pain.  My condolences.  It will pass.  At this point, I have no regrets about having the surgery.  

brownsfan,

Thanks for the feedback.  You’re right, the pain can be brutal.  Fortunately, if I stay in my elevated chair and listen to music, it’s tolerable.

opiates are good for pain
bad for digestive system!
mj is good for pain
no problem with digestive system
opiates and mj have very different effects
opiates obliterate the pain
mj allows you to find the range of motion that is painful
and helps you learn to exercise it carefully so pain diminishes

you will probably be glad you did knee replacement
but you will probably never do your other knee

that's my story anyway
good luck

one more thing:  do your physical therapy exercises conscientiously

jcazador,

Thanks for the tips.
For some reason, opiates have never helped me in the least with pain.
I take them and nothing happens.  So, i don’t take them anymore.
you’re right, other knee not likely!

And dont laugh but i suggest to you against pain, some music designed to calm pain.... Only use the typewriter and the word " pain" calm or pain killer music, or any words about pain on "youtube channels".... Try the music that soothe you and you will see.... You must try some to chose the right one for you...With headphones sometimes it is better....Just try....

This one help me tremendously but with anxieties and panic attack....

When i feel bad i cannot listen to ANY music, except those designed to help....
How to listen to anything when your brain cannot relax? It is necessary to calm the brain.... Some sound and REPETITIVE frequencies can do that.... It is one of my discovery in my last years of music and audio research....


Music and sounds technology is way more powerful than people imagine.... And yes placebo work, but placebo work all time being constitutive of human feeling and perceptions...

I use music to calm physical anxiety and it works better than any heavy side effects medication...

Each music has his own sphere of action in the body tough.... Bach will not soothe a tooth pain, some gong and chimes frequencies will do for example....

My best to you and i wish you good health...
