Arthritis pain

I am diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in both hips. So debilitating I became bedridden. By the time it was diagnosed I was past shots, pain meds and PT. On the pain scale I was a solid 8-9 24 hours a day. I've been through some bad stuff in life, I mean the worst you can imagine. This situation was the hardest thing I've ever been through. To be active and then not...

4 weeks ago I had total hip replacement on my right side, left side by the end of the year. It's been a challenge. But I'm on my way back! Light at the end of the tunnel. Pain on that side is only a healing from surgery pain. Bad days a 3.

Don't know your situation but if a candidate consider surgery. Not sure if it's your hip or knee? Then a few things.
Get a good Surgeon that you trust completely. Have anterior if you can, posterior has more restrictions and healing time. If it's your hip.
Get a surgery date asap. Seems like a lot of people need it, first available was 3-6 month wait!
Go to the dentist and get any and all issues resolved. You'll need dental clearance. Infection in the mouth causes rejection of the new joint.

Good luck, I feel your pain, literally.

You can try Frankincense oil. It is not a miracle but using it topically can often help relieve some types pain. BUT, if you are taking certain types of medications such as blood thinners, there might be interactions, so check with your doctor. This can be purchased pretty inexpensively in roller ball applicators with carrier oils already mixed for ease of use. If it does help, and you are able to get up and around again, gentle movement everyday is the best answer with certain types if arthritis. Also, please, please have your Vitamin D levels checked! A deficiency can cause debilitating bone and joint pain, especially in hips, that makes it difficult to stand a walk around. Lastly, and I know it sounds cliché, but if you haven't already, clean up your diet. Get rid of the processed foods, the preservatives and additives, and any other foods known to cause inflammation. There are also supplements that might help such as Omega 3s fish oil, that you might check into. Good luck to you, I really hope you find an answer.

I woke up 4 weeks ago, got out of bed only for my left knee to cry out in pain. My right knee does sometimes aggravate me but only walking upstairs so this was a bolt out of the blue. Thinking that I must have maybe twisted it somehow I plodded on with some ibuprofen. The pain lessened over a week but not much. Resisting going to the doctor I researched only to find out that arthritis can indeed just flare up. I read that high dose Omega 3 fish oil can help reduce joint problems so I bought some and started taking 2 a day for the last 2 weeks and I am now free of pain.

I take Glucosamine/Chondroitin for my arthritis. There are several brands. Ostio-Biflex did not work for me but Move-Free and several generic types work wonders. The secret (and stated on most directions) is that it could take up to 4-6 weeks to notice improvement. It is not pain management. It actually repairs and lubricates joints. Many people give up after a short period of time. Try it. Give it time. I started taking it years ago. I no longer suffer arthritis pain.

Me and for the first time ibuprofen and a remedy called retterspitz didn’t help.
My orthopaedist prescribed cortisone and it took away the inflammation but caused some havoc like lightheadedness, tachycardia and a messed up sleep.
Sorry that I don’t have a better suggestion.

I don’t have it but my mother does, I did a lot of research into natural health for it.

It’s acid based foods that can trigger it, stick to alkaline foods.

I have arthritis and have had several broken bones because of it. I have flare ups. I use heat. Sometimes it helps and other times it doesn’t.

Bone spurs can be debilitating. They can also be surgically removed. Living in a part of the country with a lot of rain won't help the arthritis, either.

A lot of times patients who are crippled by their arthritis move to states with dry weather, like Arizona.

My fingers hurt today😭

Was there a change in the weather?
