Rheumatoid arthritis pain relief?
My mom has advanced stage RA and her doctor has told her to stop taking Naprosyn/naproxen and to try other pain relief. Any suggestions? Her doc told her to try tylenol but it does nothing. Can anyone suggest some other type of pain reliever that we can speak to the doctor about? Thanks!
Your mother might require a prescription pain reliever. She should speak with her doctor about available options as only a doctor is qualified in this area.
Is she taking any kind of preventive medication like methotrexate or Humira along with prednesone. The pain will still be there if she doesn’t take some of these medications.
Tylenol has an Arthritis version she can use too. It may help.
i heard they sometimes prescribe azathioprine for RA if its bad, do a search for it. i took it for crohn’s and it worked great.
a home remedy i heard about is the hot stuff in peppers capsaicin will help. what you do is get red pepper seeds (like on the table at pizza hut) and keep it on the joint, like if the RA was bad in the wrist, get a wristband and put it on and put a bunch of the seeds under the band.
I highly recommend acupuncture. It has been very useful in relieving pain caused by inflammation, along with a wide variety of musculo-skeletal disorders. No drugs. The acupuncturist may prescribe an herbal supplement to accompany the treatments, however. Acupuncture has been around for 5000 years and has stood the test of time. It is definitely worth exploring as an avenue for pain relief.
Fish oil every day is supposed to help.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Steam and hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I treat it with our SHREE SWASTHYAYOG THERAPY, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don’t treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid all cold things, worry, tension, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING.
All hot things, fresh meat and soups, clove, garlik, ginger etc, Sweet foods, COCOANUT ,sweet fruits like dates, milk, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help.
