> how lost cause lamb "miraculously" recovered after big dose pain killer
this probably have to do with movement (which applies to other animals and humans) if they feel pain they don't move, that slows down the blood circulation and the healing process.
This is ultimately what killed my mum. She stopped moving. Once that happens so many things in the body just don't work so well. Combined with her other ailments her body just didn't work properly any more.
She initially went down-hill after she was weaned off the steroids she had been on during treatment for a benign brain tumour. Obviously the tumour and the radiotherapy didn't help things, but her health dropped off a cliff when the steroids stopped, she lost all her strength. I often wonder if she'd still be around now if they had just kept her on them and worked on her mobility.
Keep moving. You don't have to run marathons or go to the gym for it to have a positive effect.
Thanks. Luckily we managed to get her into a really good home for the last few months, which made the end easier on her, but that kind of age and innactivity related decline is a rubbish way to end your life. It's made me rather evangelical about keeping moving.
