| Re: arthritis
depends on thr type
oesteo rhumatoid sera-positive or sera-negative.
essentially i have been researching this for years as the other half has it bad.
warm baths help.
physio (hydrotherapy for the bad days)
ice packs and heat packs alternated at 15min intervals
as for supplemnts
glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin and msm. the three together work better than one or two. worth the investment.
ibuprofen for the swelling and codiene for bad pain days cant hurt either no pun intended, tens machines are invaluable for sufferers.
infra red heat lamps on the joints specialist advises holidays to hot sunny places as the warming effect is brillient at alleviating symptoms. unfortunately a fortnight in egypt isnt available on prescription.
my missus finds wet days are worse on the knees than cold days.
uk weather sucks.
