natural pain relief during pregnancy

I stepped on a nail. On the plus side, I know I'm up to date on my tetanus shot, thanks TDAP! However, it hurts like a bitch (I am thinking labor may be worse than I thought, lol) Any suggestions for pain relief? My doc just said clean it well, Epsom soaks, ice it... Check, check, check, and it still feels like it's on fire :)

  • Ouuuch,! Theres not really much i think you can do. I'd try a tylenol and wrapping it kinda tight, not too too tight but enough to make some pressure on the wound.

  • I stepped on a carpet tack the other day so I feel your pain. I found it hurt less when I had my foot elevated. Try that.
  • This will in no way help relieve pain per say, but treating yourself to a bubble bath, some ice cream, and silly TV may take your mind off how sore your foot is.



  • Oh, ice cream has been consumed! Btw, in case anyone is wondering.... Cedar Crest Deep Dish Apple Pie ice cream is amazing.
