ParrotheadCathy 0 Posted March 28, 2009 Gas-X comes in a strip that dissolves in your mouth, cinnamon and mint flavors available. That will help quite a bit. Walk, walk, walk, walk. Hold your arms over your head and move them around. And don't foget the heating pad!! I put mine over wherever the pain was as the moment. The combination of everything will help you tremendously. I can't discount the value of movement. Walk to the mailbox and back if you don't feel like going further. Walk to the corner and back if you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
