Re: Arthritis pain
Hi Susie,I too have osteo arthritis in most of My joints & spine after an accident 40 yrs ago,I refused to let Them operate so I was put on traction then 18 months in rehab' to learn to stand up straight and walk properly again..I had all the pain killers You could mention but they did My head in and gave Me nightmares,so I practice what I learned at the rehab' centre,stretching exercises every morning without fail,a 10 min' stint on recumbent ex' bike,10 min's on treadmill..I had a total knee replacement which left Me with hellish nerve pain...I can't sit for long as My back hurts,so if watching tv etc' I lie on sofa lounger propped up with large cushions...keep moving/walking and make stretching and light exercise a habit You automatically do every day...good luck,xPs,co codamol made Me vomit and cbd oil was just a waste of money,

Re: Arthritis pain
I have arthritis in my knees, which turns out to be caused by my over-active immune system setting off psoriasis patches on my legs which then crossed the skin boundary into my knee joints. I didn't even know that could happen! I have just started Methotrexate, once per week, which will hopefully beat my immune system into submission, so to speak. Fingers crossed!

If I want day out enjoying myself without pain this is what I take.
2 x Gabapentin 300 mg.
2 x Ibuprofen
2 x Paracetamol.
2. codeine 30mg.
I x Omeprozole to protect my tummy.
Four times a day. Max dose 32 tablets.
I've tried everything. Acupuncture. Ultra sound. Laser therapy. Tens machine. All the 'natural' pain cures I know about but I don't believe in any now.
Only high dose of pain killers work for me.
That’s a lot of medicine
I’m in agreement with keeping mobile
I use cayenne pepper ointment , some cannabis or turmeric if pain is very bad. My tailbone was badly broken and never healed right so I have had a bad back for years now but doing yoga has helped more than anything. Epsom salts baths are wonderful for sore backs. The best shoes you can afford. A good pair of shoes make a huge difference and like others have said, if your back is out of alignment then everything else is also.
I hope you all find the relief you are looking for. Back pain can be brutal.
Note: my post in no way was meant as criticism. My stomach can’t handle conventional pain medication as it’s far too harsh for me. I couldn’t even keep it down which is why I HAVE to go with alternative methods. I was merely empathizing with you .

Unless people have experienced "bad" pain, they wouldn't understand. Natural meds don't work if your pain is severe. If I could be pain free by just taking a bath with salts, that would be great....but the pain is too bad, and there is nothing natural that would help........
I am sure you are taking something to protect your tummy, and like me, are probably drinking lots of water to protect our intestines....it is tough when you need so much medications, but I believe that sometimes there is just no other way......

I also use Rapid heat on my body.
Any other suggestions for me please, all welcomed.
I wasn’t suggesting that one salt bath will do wonders. I was saying that the things I offered used in conjunction with cannabis which is illegal where you live, work incredibly well.
Doing these things together really make a difference in MY pain which was WHAT you were ASKING!
And natural meds most certainly DO work for severe pain.
People need to realize that conventional medicine also weakens the immune system meaning you are also making your body weaker and sicker as well as creating a tolerance to them so you need more to do the same job.
My natural medicine works incredibly well
