arthritis pain

What is the best remedy for arthritis pain in the knee? Does it really normally come and go? I can't determine which of what I'm doing makes the pain go away for days after it attacks for few days. I do therapy but it recurred. I put warm bag/warm compress on my lower back now and I use some natural therapy cream made of ginger, virgin coconut oil and peppermint which seems to have stopped the pain so far. I don't know if it's just the nature of arthritis that it stops then recurs at any given time and I don't know anymore whether what i'm doing now is the one that makes the pain stop.

OK, When I was in school many years ago ! I was always doing some kind of sport, played Football and was approached by Bristol to sign forms, also play Rugby and our team won the school boys cup unbeaten all season and was ask to go train with Newport Rugby. After leaving school I kept up playing and even took up badminton, and later took up Tae kwondo well before Bruce Lee was even heard of, won the first every Welsh championship in Barry . It was then I was getting pain in mt lower back, I had pain there for years but always work past it.

This time I was told by specialist at the UHW that I had Ankylosing spondylitisi http://www.nass.co.uk/ , In time it went all over my joints and still have great pain now Im a lot older. I had an op last year and had a complete knee replacemnet, one thing I would say to you is 1st you MUST ask your Doc to be refered to a rheumatologist THIS IS A MUST!!!
Now they may offer you anti inflammatory, TAKE CARE! cos long term they can give you kidney problems.

Then you have cortisone injection, again not a good thing and only very short term treatment, they shouldnt be taken all the time. Athritis can come in many forms and all very painful, But the very first thing to do is get to your GP and dont ask, TELL HIM! that you want to see a Rheumatologist. It maybe that its not Athritis ,but it could be a cyst in your knee, its pretty common. Also there are foods you can try that are Anti Inflammatory foods, here is a link http://nutrition.about.com/od/dietsform ... amfood.htm BUT! dont think you can eat them and it will go straight away, it takes a long time for them to get into your system and help IF IN FACT THEY DO HELP ! I say that cos some people it may work for other may not. Good luck and I hope some of this may help you. BUT YOU MUST MUST MUST go to your GP and demand to see a Rheumatologist that is if it really is Arthritis you have.

My old man was riddled with arthritis and smoked weed well into his seventies because it blocks the pain receptors in the brain. However when he first started smoking it he thought it hadn't had much of an effect and smoked 3 on the trot. Got up to switch the telly on and his legs wouldn't work, result = swallow dive in the lounge onto the floor

Weed wil only mask the pain, with Arthritis you need to get the Inflammation of the bone down , and weed cant do that.
