Looking For Solutions For Arthritic Pain In Addition To Having Osteoporosis
So I am on alendronate for my osteoporosis. Also taking Magnesium, calcium and vitamin d.
Now the arthritis that has moved in is raising havoc. Two Tylenol arthritis will give me relief- but I know that isn’t good to take too much of.
So- anyone out there have any remedies that won’t cause problems down the road?
Hi, I take up to 6 paracetamol tablets a day for pain relief. If pain acute take 2 ibephren after meals as well.
I rest in the middle of the day otherwise too much pain from osteoarthritis & osteoporosis.
Cheers jx
What about CBD oil , it is very good for pain. It does not make you go loopy or get high. It seems to be a gentle way to take away the pain.
If you are buying vitamins then go to a health store with a naturopath so they can check what you are getting is right for your body.
Wishing you all the best.
Note - heat l do use at times for pain but if the area is hot then coolness - icepacks, can help calm down the inflammation.
Heat is wonderful for pain. I have a heating pad and put it on low and place it on a cloth to keep it from touching skin. The heating pad will turn its self off after 30 minutes also which is great.
Ice has helped with pain & swelling.. At least for awhile
I've run out of my vitamins til I get home
I take vitamin D, C, magnesium, women's vitamin, apple cider vinegar tablets, fish oil now.. As, i couldn't before surgery for a wk or after op for few wks
Hope that helps
God willing x
I find that moist heat helps reduce some pain. Depending on the area pain is in…. I wet a washcloth or hand towel, wring out excess moisture. …then place in ziplock bag, get as much air out as I can and close it. Usually 20 seconds in microwave is enough heat. Put a dry cloth on skin, then lay heated bag on top. Don’t put hot bag on skin… you can get burned! Or look up flaxseed and charcoal poultice online for severe pain. It helps reduce inflammation.
