Wife has so much pain... but I think its from technology.

[NothingIsImpossible]

So as you may know my wife had Typhoids in her past. And just a few years ago was treated for some pretty bad pulmonary TB. But all she has had for a long time is back, neck, shoulder, arm, leg, foot pains. Meds don't do much. Massages only mask the pain briefly. All the doctors really say is take meds. And shes not really into meds because of the damage they do to you after awhile.

While I do believe part of her pain comes from the past TB, I also believe alot of it has to do with her posture. She is always bending her neck down to look at her phone. Slouches. Doesn't really sit up straight and so on. I know docs are starting to notice "modern" technology is causing new issues with people and pain. I just don't know how to fix her pain aside from telling her to sit up, not look down when using her phone...etc. TO be fair she says she has a very low pain tolerance.

It's interesting that you mention technology as one of the causes. I have noticed also that most people in general who suffer chronic pain of any kind(including Christians) tend to look at the scientific or biological side of it. Of course that is where the pain is originating and the key to recovery,but it just seems everyone is ignoring the spiritual side of it. Almost as if prayer is just a comfort tool,rather than the MAIN tool and first thing that is to be sought for healing. Pray without ceasing means just that. I know it's easy for me to sit here and give advice about something I am not suffering from,but I just know what the WORD says.
And that is in a few steps to first find someone who can physically lay hands on you,or at least pray over you and even anointing you with olive oil as James-5:14 instructs. If your church does not practice these things then find one that does. Then you should quote the scriptures as often as possible even singing them out. If nothing else it is a distraction. Also it may sound strange but try smiling even if you are not in a very good mood. Just the facial exercise alone has an affect on your mental state. There are a few other things I can't think of at this moment but may post later.
But I would strongly suggest to anyone suffering to focus more on the spiritual aspects of the sickness. I have hears if we used just 75% of our brain power we could heal ourselves. In reality we are only able to use a very small percentage. But that is where FAITH comes in in making up the rest of it,and can bring it to more like 100%,where instant healing will occur.
I know a lot of people feel healing is no longer for today,but God doesn't change. Especially in ways that would benefit His children.
Just some things to think about.

Does your wife exercise? Movement is an excellent treatment for any number of common ills.

i agree with this.
gentle stretching exercizes can help to relax tight muscles and improve the circulation in them. also suggest that she use a common kitchen timer set for 45 minutes to remind her to get up and walk around to restore better blood circulation, and do some stretching exercizes to strengthen and improve her muscles. moving is the best thing she can do to keep her body limber and help to prevent the muscles from becomming stiff, cramped, and painful.

Adding to what you said, the relation of sickness, disabilities to un-clean spirits. Much written in God's Word.
Studying this topic.

I would look into anti-inflammatory nutrients like ginger, onions, circumin (search). What country are you in if you don't mind my asking?

Yes, I agree that modern technology is causing new issues with people and pain. I would recommend you that walking and jogging is the best exercise which helps to relieve joint pain. But, today, physical therapists say that using warm water to treat health conditions like joint pains it has been proven effective therapy. My grandmother was also dealing with joint pains, doctor recommended her to install walk-in tubs which have a hydrotherapy features which works by increasing blood flow to help the painful tissue, makes stiff joints feel at ease. Installing walk in tubs in Tacoma helped her in by decreasing the weight placed on her aching joints and spine.
