Effective Arthritis Pain Relievers

I've seen several discussions on effective pain relievers for arthritis. Here are the results of a new study which was published in yesterday's LA Times and Health Magazine. If the link doesn't work, cut and paste it.

Neither over the counter nor prescription NSAIDs are good for anyone if taken long term. It's really better to reduce inflamation naturally. Black cherry juice, tumeric, fish oil and coconut oil as well as noni juice all do a good job of if taken daily. I use these and can definitely say they work. I had stiff, swollen and painful fingers and after 2 months of taking one shot of noni juice daily all gone!! A very active 90 year old told me about noni juice. Many orthopedic doctors prescribe 2,000 mg of fish oil daily for inflamation. One I went to told me that most won't take it as they want a quick fix regardless of any long term negative issues that can occur with prescription or over the counter drugs! While there may be times when over the counter and prescription meds may be necessary for short periods, long term usage can be harmful.

@Kachina624

Good article, thank you for posting.

I have severe OA. Trying with all my might to avoid anything prescription if I can. I take Aleve when I am in a tough spot.

After trying MANY natural things, I have settled on Hyaluronic Acid, Tumeric and honey. I start my day at the gym too, if I don't move it, it locks. I also notice my joints more when I have not been drinking enough water.

Move it or lose it!

I use a roll on called ,"Stop Pain" you will not believe how well this works. It is like a miricle .If I had to take all the Tylonel I need to be pain free I would be a very sick woman ,but this roll on works excellent for me and everyone else I recommend it to. I get mine on a/d from Amazon but I think they sell it here on the Q ,or they did sell it at one time.

Does anyone here drink back cherry juice for inflammation? Does it actually help? If so, how much do you drink?

Totally agree about going natural if at all possible.

Losing a large amount of weight and getting physical therapy gave me a life back, and has eliminated the need for a hip replacement.

Chronic pain and becoming homebound was a HUGE motivator!

Congrats on losing the weight and avoiding the hip replacement! It's amazing to me what we can do for ourselves to stave off surgery! You go girl!!

@Pook What is noni juice? I finally quit taking glucosamine/chondroitin because it wasn't working. I just started taking turmeric and hope it helps. I'd be interested in trying the noni juice.

I've been using Andrew Lessman's Glucosamine Chondrotin for quite a while and added Turmeric and Marine Collagen about 4 months ago when my fingers started bothering me, burning sensation and my knuckles turned red. It took about 2 months for the pain and redness to disappear and now I'm not having any issues. This may be putting off the inevitable (my father had severe RA) but I'll keep doing this until it stops working

Was the article pulled? I get a 'page not found' on that site when I click on the link.

Anyway, I'm interested in reading about this stuff. As the link states, acetaminophen definitely does not help - at least it didn't for me. I get some relief from Ibuprofen but I have to take quite a bit so I try to not do that very often.

I need to try more natural remedies. I do have salmon oil but have to admit that I am horrible at taking my vitamins. I absolutely abhor taking vitamins and sometimes, especially the large capsules, they get stuck in my throat or when they get down to my esophagus and cause great discomfort and pain.

@Kachina624@chickenbutt@catmama@NickNack@Jacie

i have taken Voltaren for 30 years. (OA and Migraines) GI problems have ensued possibly due to this med.

Tumeric works WONDERS.(have not gotten MD approval yet)

Fish oil makes a huge difference for me also.

I use so many supplements, but the ones I have found work gently and consistently are the RAW supplements. HTH

Noni is a fruit and the juice is used to treat many things and is antiinflamatory. I get organice noni juice at a local wellness store. It's not real tasty (not horrible though) but I mixed a shot in black cherry juice (2 Talblespoons in about 5 oz or water) and drank it daily. You can put it in any drink. One caution is to probably not take it if you are taking meds for high blood pressure as it could cause too high levels of potassium and the noni juice I get states this. It won't work right away but stick with it for a few months.

@NickNack Apparently that article had an expiration date, however if you put "arthritis pain relievers" in the search bar on that website, you'll get several good articles on the subject.

Acetaminophen works great for me. I have arthritis that acts up in the morning. I take tylanol some 30 minutes before i need to get out of bed and works good. I also take MSM which heps with flexability and pain. What is even better is Il take an aleve pill before bed I try to rotate my pain meds but for some reason acetamenophen works best. MSM is pretty good. if I take it daily I almost need no pain meds at all

lovestoteach...I am using Voltaren for my arthritic knees and it does help. I have a nephew who is a doctor and when he heard his mother was using it he told her to stop immediately because of the side effects.

I am surprised you have been using it for thirty years, didn't you build up a tolerance where it wasn't helping as much and perhaps not at all?

I read about Tumeric and now that you said it works wonders I am going to try it asap.
