Good natural pain relief?

[Anonymous]

So, 3 weeks ago I had corrective surgery on my upper jaw. It was cut basically into 4 pieces.
The nerves are retracted, so I'm pretty numb from the roof of my mouth up to my eyes. So I'm not in a lot of pain yet, I'm just finally starting to feel pretty sore and uncomfortable. Plus, the surgery messes with your sinuses, so mine are healing and kinda angry haha..
I'm taking a high ish dose of ibuprofen. I have narcotics, but obviously I can't always just do that.
So, is there easy stuff I can do on top of it that may help with the stiff/soreness?

Natural doesn't mean effective or that there won't be drug interactions (look at grapefruit, that has some serious drug interactions). I'd stick to the high ibuprofen and maybe try combining it with caffeine (if it's not already) which slightly increase it's pain relief quality unless you are having trouble sleeping, and if that's not enough I'd maybe try nagging doctors for a prescription to take the good stuff.

Hot beverages might help with your sinuses but be careful if you are numb you could burn yourself more easily, so make sure that they aren't warmer then they need to be.

I've read journals about nutrition before 😛 cherry and mint tea are good natural pain killer or applying menthol or methyl salicylate cream on the back of your neck or below your jaw might help too.
