My little horse is 15 years old next month and has been lame (but working) for some time now. The vet can do nothing he is in need of good Chiropractor but we can’t find one.

He was working really well until last week and he took a backwards step. We ave tried everything for him, you name it we have tried it.

We can’t retire him, hes too intelligent and will get board very easily.

So were looking at alternatives, possibly using pain relief permanently, like bute (which I know is not good in the long run)

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem and what they have tried.

He is happy and healthy in himself – lame behind, high up in the hind quarters in the sacroiliac joint from an old bang rolling in a stable a few years back. To add to it, he has bog spavin’s in both hocks and minor arthritis.

Hi am 15 and recently I feel a strong pain in my joints (elbow, knee, ankle and feet, and hands.) When I move I feel my bones making weird noises. I am very afraid that i might have some serious bone condition like arthritis. However i do think i have. how can i stop it from getting worse? I don’t want to have limitations and pain. I want to join a gym but i don’t know if it is a good idea. can i do anything to make the situation better. PLEASE HELP!

I appreciate any recommendations..thanks

It looks like a large nut. I was told you soak it in alcohol for 15 days, then rub on your joints to help w/arthritis pain.

Are there any over the counter medications that I can give my aging pug for arthritis and joint pain? Is it ok to give him Ibuprofen? He weighs almost 40 pounds. Thanks!

My mum has really bad Arthritis in her wrists and any little movement she does really hurts her. Even worse, she works as a dinnerlady so she is constantly chopping and using her hands, I tried to tell her that she should work somewhere else but she loves her job and all of her friends work there too.

I hate seeing her in so much pain when she come home =[

Anyone know anything that will help?

Hey all,

I’m 26 and suffer quite badly from a combination of RSI and arthritis in my wrists/hands and fingers. I’m in quite a bit of pain at the moment, so much that I can’t physically grip anything with any real strength (I play guitar and piano but both are impossible at the moment because of the pain).

I’m tired of using ibuprofen, and glucosamine sulphate doesn’t seem to have any effect (had tried using it for over a month several years ago). I have looked into other medications that are recommended however they all have horrible side effects such as stomach ulcers, heart problems, neurological effects etc.

What things can you suggest to prevent or alleviate the pain I’m getting? Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!

Many thanks,

Pan
