Hi Angie! I use essential oils for the pain. It doesn't take it all away when it's really bad but it helps. I posted something about a month ago or so listing my recipe I use for pain. Speaking of which, my back is killing me right now - woke me up so I'm going to try my oils now. Thanks for the reminder. If you can't find my older post let me know & I'll look up my recipe and give it to you. I use a lot of different oils and some of them are on the expensive side but if you're looking to replace the pills it's worth it - IMO.

I use an oil diffuser. I got it from Walmart and use the essential oils that they have there. Mostly minty kinds. It helps with my anxiety and mood a lot.
