There is really nothing worse than having a headache or menstrual cramps and having to drive to the gas station or pharmacy to get pain killer because you ran out in your house. To ensure that this never happens to you, you should have a stock of pain-relieving medical supplies in some easily accessible by place in your home so that you can easily get to the pain relief you need right when you need it.

To get all your pain-relief supplies together, first pick out a container for it all; things simply stay together and organized better if they have a basket or tub to sit in. Then, think through all the different pain-relief supplies you may need. You’ll want, for instance, a few different types of pain killer – maybe one with a sleep aid involved – a hot water bottle or its equivalent, some ice packs, and some bandages for attaching ice packs to sore areas at the very least.

If you have kids, you may also want some children’s pain medication and some antiseptic spray or cream that is also pain relieving. Your other pain-relief needs will depend totally on your own situation, but think carefully over what you have needed at various times over the past few months.

Then, gather up all your supplies and inventory them on a note pad as you put them in their easy-to-find container. It may seem silly to take an inventory, but it can actually be really helpful because it can allow you to see when you’re running out of things. If you check the contents of the basket against the inventory once a month or so, you’ll be able to pick up replacement supplies as you go, eliminating all of those frustrating late night runs for pain killer or heat therapy pads.
