Arthritis Cure or Pain Easement?

[TerryMiller]

What with the current list of "ailment" topics, let me add one.

My wife is experiencing what she thinks is arthritis in her left hand, and it seems to maybe be starting in her right hand. I tried using the search feature because I had seen a thread where different "treatments" or pain products had been mentioned, but now I can't find it.

Anyone have something good that she can take to alleviate her pain?

Thanks in advance.

She can try Glucosamine Chondroitin or Umary as supplements, but it really depends on the kind of arthritis she has. Is it Rheumatoid or Osteo?

Go to Doc, find out what type or what it is!

I use Absorbine veterinary liniment that I get at Atwood's, seems to help me anyway.

She could try Voltaren gel ( 1% Diclofenac ). I use it for my knee arthritis pain.

My wife has serious arthritis in her hands. Runs in her family. Her mothers fingers were so crooked I cringed when I saw them. Wife takes Tumeric. Not sure of dosage but it's 2 or 3 tablets a day. If she stops taking them she can bump her hand against something and will start crying. When taking them she has little to no pain. Brands vary in effectiveness.
I have witnessed this and can't believe the results so positive for her pain. If she stops taking it her knuckles turn red, and it takes a week or more of taking Tumeric to get back to normal.
I recently had surgery and was told to stop before the procedure because it was a blood thinner and anti inflammatory.
Spring Valley at Walmart is what she is using.

Voltaren gel works well.

I don’t use it personally, nor do I have arthritis, so I can’t give a first hand account on effectiveness- but I know of multiple folks in a similar scenario that have found relief with CBD and/or THC. Topical cream seems to be the favorite- relief where you need it without any cognitive effects.

Go to a doc to see if osteo or rheumatoid, as the treatments are different

Herman Goring was known to suffer from this and used Tumeric.
