| I have osteoarthritis in my hands and degenerative disk disease. For the past few years I've taken tumeric and Osteo Biflex and had no pian. The past couple of weeks I seem to ache all over. I have pain in all my joints except my knees. My hands, wrists ankles even toes hurt. I have to drive all day long and now even after a half hour drive i am stiff and achy when i get out of the car. Any suggestions? |

| I will recomend a chiropractor. There are different types of chiropractors, the one you need is called a corrective care chiropractor.Everything is related to your spine. I've had RA for almost 21 years and not taking any meds right now. I still have bad days but the chiro told me that it will take time to feel completely better. |
sue 02 Sep 2009, 09:03 |
| I do water aerboics three times weekley for back and joint pain. I also use a TENS unit to help with pain. I take loratab 5/500 twice a day, do you think the meds are going to become addictive? |

| What about the recent small trials about good results for arthritis pain in knees from taking Pycnogenol? No reference to that supplement on your site. |
Louise 06 Aug 2009, 10:48 |
| For those of you with fibromyalgia, Ribose is the best thing you can take,
plus water aerobics is the best kind of exercise. I've had FSM for 25 years and recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue also. Both the above things help me alot. I went to a Fibro & Fatigue Clinic in Cleveland for all kinds of tests and was taking lots of supplements. The wrong kind of magnesium was tearing up my gut, but the Ribose I can take easily. Dr. Teitlebaum says if you can't take anything else, take Ribose. F & F clinic has website with a store you can buy Ribose without being their patient. |

| I have been diagnosed with RA for about a year now, I am on Methotrexate,
Nuproxin, folic acid & recently Humira. They tell me I do not have any
joint damage but the exaustion is kicking my butt. I have not missed work due to any of my symtoms but every day about 1pm and just deflate. I can't lie down where I work but I don't funtion very well after 6 hours at my job. Any idea's out there on what anyone takes or does to help? |
silvia santiago 03 Jul 2009, 10:37 |

| Kathy--(posted June 12) I, too, had much swelling and pain and my orthopedic was treating me for tendonitis. He did blood work for RA (rheumatoid factor)and lupus and both came back negative, like yours did. Please go see a rheumatologist! Mine did a different blood test (CPP) and it came back with a very strong positive reading. I'm on methotrexate now and although I'm not under control yet (after 4 months)I am so much better. Don't give up! |
this is for june May forde 16 Jun 2009, 00:40 |
| june May forde... go see a Rumotologist i am sure you have Psoraisis
Arthritis. I have very mild Psoraisis, but woke up on moring could put
presure on my knee, next my ankle joint, than left hand got so bad in 2
weeks that it was locked and i could no longer bend it. if you get on a
disease modifying drug asap you can help reduce the long term damage to
your joints. i am on Enbrel now and i am great. fatigue is a major part of
the PA, enbrel helps with fatigue as well. enna_elsa@hotmail.com ---if you would like to email me. usually you insurance will make you try Metheltrexate first, it is such a low dose that the side effects really don't apply. i never lost my hair like it says you might, it just gave me pain in my tummy really bad. ps. i am a bad speller, that is why i went into accouting..lol. good luck! |

| This message is for Susan...I have had Fibromyalgia fo 12 years and have never used perscription drugs.I have only used natural remedies and the one thing that has been a life saver for me is Corvalen M (D-Ribose). |
Kathy 12 Jun 2009, 12:00 |
| I have had pain in my joints for the last 3 years. I also had blood clots
in both of my lungs 3 years ago. That has since resolved, but the pain in
my joints continues to worsen. I have not been diagnosed with anything
specific. My RA exam was negative, as was lupus. I was working as a
secretary but had to quit because of the pain in my joints. My hands,
knees, hips, ankles and feet hurt when I perform any kind of household
chore, grocery shop, stand or sit for long periods. Anybody ever
experienced anything like this? What did you do? What was your
diagnosis? Thanks Kathy |
lisa 12 Jun 2009, 09:06 |
| I am 48 and was diagnosed years ago with RA and i am on celebrex for about 5 years now. my doctor wanted me to take methotrexate, but when we read the side affects, i was doubtful. so i went to my church and my sister and some of the staff prayed with me, for God to give me an answer. so when i left there, i felt at ease that the answer was to find a natural way. so i went to gnc store where they helped me with a pill called omega 3-6-9 and after about 2 weeks or so, i stop needing my knees drained and helped me with the inflormation and pain. so i have the thank the Lord and praise him for this. remember to always check with your doctor first. lisa God Bless |

| I have Fibromyalgia, I am so tired all of the time . What can I do or take to get some energy back? This is at the point that I can no longer take care of my home or myself. Please help! |
Norma 19 May 2009, 19:11 |
| Acupuncture is very good for knee pain. I also get it for hip and back pain from arthritis and spinal stenosis. THe only pain meds that I can take must be non steroidal, so I take Tylenol and tramadol at night. |

| Hi! My name is Pat and I have a high Rhblood level, ostepenia I have osteopenia in back & both knees, My Rh blood ranges from 425 to 625, I am not Dx. with RA yet, but go to a Rheumatoid arthritis Dr. she gives blood tests, bone-density every two years, plus pain med's., Cymbalta, Vicodin, plus I take Osteo Bi-Flex, Fish oil capsules. Flax oil tablets. Some days are better others but if I do much of any thing, I'm tired for 2-3 days. My Dr. says since the other tests for Rh are neg., she won't give any of the drugs for it. I am also a cancer survivor for 5 years. I have some neuopathy in my legs due to chem, plus I'm diabetic. What do you think of Simponi for me? Or, any thing else? Thank you. Pat Pat |

| To DONNA COOK: I have friends who swear by horse chestnut for leg pain; I
don't know anything about interactions, so please check.ALSO, ask your
doctor about Lyrica; it sounds like you might want to investigate
Fibromyalgia. TO PREM KUMAR: I would suggest adding blueberries, even frozen if you can get them, plus flax seed (I grind mine in a coffee grinder, in small amounts at a time, and keep both the seeds as well as the ground seeds in the freezer. Also, a good quality fish oil capsule and a combination of gucosamine/chondroitin and MSM...ans keep "inflammation" in mind when you read this site and other sources. To Donna Corbin: have you seen an Orthopedic Specialist? There is an injection called Synovisc which can be injected into the knee and acts like the natural cushion (which sounds like yours is not in good shape). My mom used it to get extra time before her knee replacements. (hard, but almost everyone I know thinks they are worth it.)To everyone: Please read my post in this site on the front page today about Fibromyalgia medications. Please look for a heated therapy pool for gentle walking and stretching...Good luck everyone, I'll be asking you questions next!! ;-) |
sandy 05 May 2009, 17:22 |

| my wife, aged 44 years, has recently, say, 2-3 weeks, started feeling pain
in hand and legs, including all joints. Along with household chore, she
also has to do office work including climbing stairs, walking a long
distance,etc. Whenever she does any job like kneading the flour, cleaning
vessels, cleaning the floor, washing, etc. she gets pain in hand and foot
joints. She regularly takes oats as her breakfast; in the afternoon, she consumes more vegetables and some times, she takes non-veg food like meat, etc., but in very small quantity. Would you please advise me what steps to be taken to control this pain. At present, she is taking a health supplement product says taht it mainly contains hcl+glucosamine in the natural form. Shall be grateful to receive your medical advise, please.. Look forward to hear from you at your earliest convenienct.. Kind regards Prem Kumar Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates Tel: +971 50 711 89 85 Email: prem8688@yahoo.com |
There's a thing called spinal decompression therapy where they use traction and that also has a 50/50 improvement and canmake the3 situation worst.
Not much help is it? Hope you feel better.
