Welcome to the roundup of everything we published in April 2025. We covered everything from smart ways to handle chronic pain to real‑world tips on cutting prescription bills. If you’re looking for fast, practical advice, you’re in the right spot.
One of the biggest hits was the piece on pacing as a secret weapon for chronic pain.

We also shared immediate remedies for nerve pain that you can try at home, plus a list of the strongest medications for severe back pain when you need a stronger fix.
For those who prefer natural routes, we compared garlic, honey and other strong natural antibiotics, spelling out what actually works and when you should still see a doctor. And if you’ve ever felt every muscle in your body hurting, our fibromyalgia overview explains why that happens and offers basic steps to ease the load.
Money talks in healthcare, so we broke down the real drivers behind prescription costs. From insurance quirks to hidden pharmacy mark‑ups, the guide shows where the extra dollars come from and how to shave them off. A separate article walked you through out‑of‑pocket expenses for private patients, pointing out surprise bills and practical ways to lower them.
