What do I do? http://arthritispainguide.com/my-labrador-retriever-has-arthritis-what-do-i-do/ http://arthritispainguide.com/my-labrador-retriever-has-arthritis-what-do-i-do/#comments Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:01:46 +0000 admin http://arthritispainguide.com/my-labrador-retriever-has-arthritis-what-do-i-do/ My yellow labrador retriever has been displaying symptoms of arthritis. He has a lot of trouble getting up after a nap, and he has gotten fatter since it hurts him when he runs, which makes it even harder for him to get up. He also walks using three legs. He bends his left leg when he walks, he is obviously in pain. I have been giving him an aspirin every day but now the symptoms have gotten worse and I need something new. Is there anything I can do before taking him to the vet for expensive x-rays and medications?

Anyone know of any other way to help the pain?

How many? http://arthritispainguide.com/supplements-for-rheumatoid-arthritis-how-many/ http://arthritispainguide.com/supplements-for-rheumatoid-arthritis-how-many/#comments Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:56:59 +0000 admin http://arthritispainguide.com/supplements-for-rheumatoid-arthritis-how-many/ I am going to try a lot of different supplements for my rheumatoid arthritis, along with the fact I have stopped smoking and am changing my diet to only foods like fruit, veg, chicken, oily fish and nuts and seeds. Also, I am going to buy a yoga dvd and begin doing exercises that jarr my joints less. I was wondering if any one out there knows whether I should take all the supplements at once, or just go through them one at a time, try each for a few months etc. I am going to take glucosamine and chondroitin anyway, along with a good multi vitamin. Then add more….but should I add them all at once? I am thinking of supplements such as devils claw, snow lotus, glyconutrients etc.

It keeps fluid on it and the arthritis that has set up in it is just gradually getting worse. It has taken to trying to pop out of place lately too. When it pops it is usually pretty loud and then I have to kind of stand there for a few seconds and move it gently to get it comfortable to walk on again. I use a cold rice pack and Tylenol Arthritis. That’s all I have. Is there anything else I can do for it?
I can’t take Ibuprofen, Aleve, Excedrin or really anything other than Tyenol (acetaminophen) Can’t even use Aspercream.
Also, I have seen a doctor for it. He said the arthritis is bad for my age but didn’t prescribe either drugs or therapy.

sophomore year: pain/mild sprain in left knee during cross country, left ankle swollen in track. my doctor gave me painkillers for both, and it got better.
junior year (this year) : pain below left knee in cross country
i’ve never had pain in wrists/arms/fingers etc. and im 15

what do you think? also, my horoscope that was made when i was born said i’d have knee problems (i just found it out recently)
do you think its rheumatoid arthritis ?
what would you recommend i do?
btw my pain stopped as soon as i started taking painkillers. after that i’m unsure on how long it took to cure, because all i knew was that i wasnt in pain

It would appear that there is calcium build up…not that I am a doctor, but my hands are chanaging in appearance and they hurt all the time. Sometimes Tylenol Arthritis helps but not for long.

Other than a bit of stiffness in the morning just after she wakes up, she’s really not having any problems. The vet gave me some information on a few prescriptions medications I could try, but they’re all very expensive and her arthritis is so mild that I just don’t think prescription is necessary. I’m mostly looking to prevent it from getting worse.

I know it cures arthritis, but can it cure cancer? please give a truthful answer :)

It gets to the point at least 3 or 4 times per hour towards the end of the day, where I have to stretch my hands and close up my fingers, which makes my knuckles and joints in my hands crack. A coworker mentioned it is best to try not doing this, as it will make me develop arthritis sooner in life.

Is this true? And if so, how can I try to not have to crack my knuckles so much? I am a bit worried about if this is true, as I’m only currently in my late 20’s.

Does anybody else have this problem? What have you done to try and prevent cracking your knuckles?
