If you have been diagnosed with arthritis, how can you help with yourself?

I have arthritis in my spine and in other joints in my body. My doctor said there is nothing I can do to cure it, but I CAN do something to minimize its effects. First, DO NOT give in to it. In other words, even though you may experience some pain, DO walk, DO exercise, DO take something like Advil and/or Aleve to reduce the swelling in the joints which is the main pain and discomfort caused by arthritis. In my case it has worked.

ONCE, I needed a cortisone shot in my spine because the pain was so severe. It worked so well that I have not experenced pain there in almost a year.

Fight it al the way!! Good luck!!

I go to an ortheopedic doctor for an injury and he said massaging the area with a small amount of peanut oil will help with the pain. Good luck.

Take buffered aspirin or some type of anti inflammatory medication as per doctors orders. Also consider taking a supplement with glucosamine and chondroitin

Iv read that eating ginger root helps & apple vinager for soaking in the tub.Iv also heard that copper bracelets help.

there are creams they have icy hot packets.wear long sleeve clothing and pants when your body gets cold you will start aching.
