Headaches, Neck Aches, Backaches, Depression, Fatigue

Hello everyone.

Dr Brad here again.

Headaches, neck aches, backaches, depression and fatigue.

These are the 5 most common complaints I have heard from females between 25 and 50 years of age during the past 15 months during these revolving lockdowns.

And if this sounds like you, please read on because I am going to offer a suggestion for you.

Most of my patients reported that these symptoms were “ very occasional “ or “ rare” before lockdowns started but now most of them are reporting they can be almost daily.

And to the point where they are affecting ADL’s (activities of daily living) and overall quality of life.

The concern too however, is that these can indirectly impact other members of the family and the whole family dynamic. So, this is what we are going to do.

Over the next few posts I am going to share some practical tips on how you can keep these things at bay. There is no reason for these things to become debilitating.

The first thing we are going to discuss are those headaches. And if you do not already have one, I would like you to pick up a flexible ice pack (size: 12cm x 22cm approx.). You can get one at any pharmacy and I do sell them here at the clinic also. They are not very expensive.

This can be your very best friend when you feel one of those nasty headaches coming on but 
you need to know how to use it properly.
 
And this is what I will show you in my next post.
