The latest pain cures for women

We women know we're special, so why do doctors keep lumping us in with everybody else (meaning men) with their "one-size-fits-all" pain treatments? Science has shown that not only do women experience unique pain (i.e. menstrual cramps), but also our hormones and physiology have an impact on all kinds of things. And as medicine catches up with pain management the trend for women isn't necessarily towards new specialized pain meds, but towards new specialized pain management -- meaning sometimes less powerful medications used in conjunction with other therapies like massage and exercise for over-all better results.

As scientists continue to study how the systems of men and women differ it's important to find a doctor who will work with you on treating the whole picture of what's causing your pain in the most innovative and creative ways possible. Gone are the days of just snowing yourself with narcotics!
