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,xRe: Arthritis pain
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!Re: Arthritis pain
