Arthritis Pain Relief Cream

This is a sponsored post 

Finding Good Quality Arthritis Pain Creams Online
Either as a person ages or if they have a chronic illness, arthritis pain can be extremely uncomfortable to debilitating. Arthritis is typically defined as joint pain that may arise from the joint's wear and tear over the years or an autoimmune inflammation over the joint area.

As a very common medical condition, arthritis has been a historically recognized human ailment since ancient times. Back in the B.C. era, many ancient cultures would create oil compounds that were given decades of oxygenation in order to soothe the area of the inflammation. In the contemporary era, modern humans can live well into their 70s and 80s. This can often increase the likelihood of arthritic pain across their backs, shoulders, hands, and hips.

Taking off where ancient cultures left, modern medical industries have mass produced a wide range of Arthritis Pain Relief Cream that is part of the over-the-counter market. These topical creams utilize numerous chemicals that try to relieve some of the pain and swelling associated with arthritis pain. Although these creams do not cure the person of their arthritis, they can at the very least go through the day without experiencing the pain that stops them from living their lives fully.

Although arthritis creams are sold at one's local pharmacy over-the-counter, the best ones may not be available for the particular person. This is because some creams work better than others and that will mostly depend on the type of pain the person is going through. If the topical creams at the local pharmacy can't cover the pain well or if the best quality creams are very over-priced, then the consumer is a tough situation. Thankfully, the internet gives consumers amazing options at the click of a button.

Customers can go on the internet to find vendors across the country that will carry a larger inventory of arthritis creams at more competitive prices than a local pharmacy. The customer can pick and choose which cream might work best for them and they can pay for and ask the cream to be shipped to their mailing address. This entire mechanism of ordering goods online is thanks to e-commerce programming. E-commerce is the main reason the internet is the newest commercial platform; with e-commerce programming, customers can buy goods through an online business and have the product shipped to their mailing address.

No should have to live with the debilitating pain of arthritis. In addition, no one should be limited in their consumer choices when it comes to arthritis creams. Look online for the best vendors that can provide high quality arthritis creams to help ease the pain.

Disability Hearing Tips - Part II


*DISCLAIMER*
I am not an attorney, nor do I have any experience in the legal field at all.  This post does NOT constitute legal advice.  If you have any questions at all please consult an attorney.  Before using any tips contained within this blog post series, I advise you to seek the opinion of an attorney.  This post is from an email that a follower of The Fibro Frog sent me.  She received it from an attorney's assistant.  However, I do not have the name of the attorney, assistant, or the law firm.  Therefore I can not give proper credit to them.  I have to hand type this all out, or else it isn't large enough for people to read.  I can't do that all in one shot, it's impossible with the pain and fatigue I have.  Therefore there will be a series of posts made, until I get it all done.

The Order In Which Things Happen At The Hearing

Many judges begin disability hearings by reciting the "case history" of your disability claim and stating the issues to be decided.  Judges often state what you have to prove in your case - but they seldom give a clear and simple explaination.  They usually say that in order to be found disabled you must be "unable to perform substantial gainful activity which exists in significant numbers in the economy, considering your age, education and work experience".  When they say this, it almost sounds like you've got to be bedridden to get disability benefits - but, as will be explained in more detail later, this isn't true.  The judge may question you first.  Then the judge will give your lawyer a chance to ask you some questions.  Occassionaly, if a claimant is well prepared to testify, the lawyer doesn't have to ask any questions at all.  Some judges, however, expect lawyers to handle most of the questioning.  If so, answer questions asked by your lawyer as if a stranger were the one asking them.  Sometimes a claimant may give less than complete answers when his or her lawye asks questions, because the lawyer knows a lot about the case already.  So, it is important to keep in mind that the judge, who will decide your case, doesn't know the answers until you say them.  Although the judge will probably read your file before the hearing, when you're testifying, it is best to assume the judge knows nothing about your case.  Plan on explaining everything.  At the end of the hearing, some judges will ask you if you have anything more to say.  It's best if you don't try to argue your case at this point - let your lawyer do that.  Most judges will give a lawyer the opportunity to make a closing argument either at the end of the hearing or to be submitted in writing.  Most judges won't tell you if you've won, although a few will.  A few judges issue what is called a "bench decision", that is, a decision stated right at the hearing.  Even if the judge issues a bench decision, the judge still must issue a short written decision, which will be mailed to you with a copy to your lawyer.  The wonderful thing about the written part of the bench decision is that it comes only a few days after the hearing.  When the judge issues a regular decision, sometimes it takes quite a while for the decision to come out.  


What To Wear

A lot of people ask what to wear, whether they should dress up.  You do not need to dress up, and you do not need to wear the same clothes that you would wear to a wedding. This is an informal hearing.  You may wear whatever makes you comfortable (within reason).  


Testify Truthfully

The most important thing of a Social Security hearing is not what you wear.  It is what you say.  It is whether or not you are telling the truth.  Tell the truth.  When a judge asks a question, don't try to figure out why the judge is asking that particular question or whether your answer will help or hurt your case.  Be candid about your strengths as well as about your limitations.  The best way to lose a good case is for the judge to think that you're not telling the truth.  So, testify truthfully.  And, don't do any play-acting for the judge.  That is, don't pretend to cry or be in more pain than you are.  On the other hand, you need not suffer silently or minimize your problems when you tell the judge how you feel.  If you need to take a break from the hearing, ask the judge for permission.  If you are uncomfortable sitting and it would help to stand up for a while, you may do so, and you should not be embarrassed about it.   

My FREE PRIZES for April!

So I've said before how I play games on a site, to take my mind off my pain and to help with the bordum I face daily due to my health issues keeping me hostage in the house most of the time.  My income is extremely limited, where I can't work due to my health, and I've earned some awesome prizes for myself, and to use as gifts for my family members.  I can not begin to tell you how much earning these prizes has helped me out.  There isn't any way I could afford to buy the stuff that I've won!

I've been keeping you all up to date on my winnings, and since April is about over, it was time for another post.  This is the items that I've already won this month:



Next, is a list of the tournaments I'm currently in, and the corresponding prizes that each has.  Of course these tournaments do not end until Wednesday April 30th at 11:59pm, so I could still be bumped out of the spots that I'm currently holding!  -Keeping my fingers crossed though!



Remember, this is just my April winnings!  You too, can earn great prizes for free!  You can do so by clicking HERE.  Yes, I receive referral points if you sign up, but then you can also earn referral points!  :)
