Just wondering if anyone has a home remedy or an OTC remedy that might be worth trying.
After fracturing several vertebrae and a rib, developing arthritis and degenerative disc disease as well, I’ve been through countless MD’s (orthopedists, neurologists, urologists, rheumatologists, etc). I’ve tried chiropractors, physiatrists, physical therapy, TENS, facet joint injections, and RF rhizotomy, without achieving any relief. I’ve used every anti-inflammatory med in the book, and worked my way through pain management programs to the point where they’re pumping me full of oxycontin. The drug, which pharmacists are reluctant to stock, barely addresses the pain and cause a range of unwelcome side effects. I’d just as soon ditch it if I can find something that works. Earlier this year I went through a trial for a morphine pump, at my doctors recommendation, but again, the side effects were monstrous, and I vetoed the idea of committing to a lifetime of drug dependence with a hockey puck sized lump in my belly that would require an abdominal injection of meds every 6-8 weeks.
My pain management MD is referring me to another Doc thursday. Any suggestions as to what I might ask him to consider as an alternative treatment? (alternative as in so far unexplored; I have no faith in herbal remedies, aromatherapy and the like). Don’t know what to do at this point; both the pain and the side effects are unbearable.
I’ve tried accupuncture and Celebrex (as well as a dozen different new and old NSAIDS) without any benefit.
The side effects of the oxycontin include a general mental cloudiness, which I could overcome, but also a common side effect, which is profuce sweating. I can’t sleep through a night without changing my clothes twice since I’m drenched with sweat. I know this is a also an effect of withdrawal, but it happens whether I take my regular dose on a regular basis or try to go without.

Is there a good joint pain relief product that has glucosamine and chondroitin that is NOT derived from shellfish? ( I am allergic to shellfish). I need something that has these ingredients, as well as anything that would ease arthritis pain in addition to rebuilding joint cartilage. I don’t like to take prescription medication, so I would prefer natural joint products.
