take Naproxen or another anti inflammatory, drink some tea & add turmeric, ginger & pepper. Note: Turmeric has great anti inflammatory and healing properties, but the human body does not easily absorb turmeric into the cells. Pepper and ginger increase absorption of turmeric in the body by up to 2,000%. Hope you feel better soon!
