My mom has arthritis in her feet and has pain specifically on the top (the top of the foot arch). What devices are there that can relieve this pain? She has had foot baths that vibrate but none seem to be strong enough and dont target the top part of the foot. Any suggestions?

is this helpful for you? how can it be better? ”NSAIDs”pain relief?

generally there is a main rule in medicine administration,
If u have to choose between two harmful choices choose the least harmful , Side effects are side reaction beside the wanted to occur present even in natural herbals like liquorice having the same side effects of cortisone, However those side effects in some case are according to potency of drug accumulative e.x ergotamine (for sever headache) “if u took more 10 pills weakly lead u to serious side effect like hypertension”
What i am trying to say as the choose of drug is important also the way you take it ,
About the NSAIDs like celebrex ,
What really worrying me that some arthritis are rheumatic means accumulation of NSAID increasing risk of side effects
(headache, confusion and other CNS symptoms, increased BP, worsening of hypertension, edema, and decreased platelet function) especially those related to cardiovascular patients and those with previous ulcers or dyspepsia,
The risk always there with such vigorous diseases like arthritis ,
What must be done with any medicine, is recent clinical studies those important the drug effect differ with race and environment which differs with time also human body i mean in long intervals those peccary quality control tests are not last defense line
Responsibility also falls on physician who prescribes and pharmacist who provides in such cases like high risk side effects ,the drug must given by prescription updated with date that he takes medicine every time he goes to a pharmacy .

what is the matter with my dog? (he needs relief from pain)?

admin — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:51:23 +0000

ok so yesterday night when we were going to bed my dog yelped as my dad tried to pick him up. we all thought it was just a muscle cramp and massaged him( it seemed to work) so we went to sleep. then at 10:00 about an hour later he yelped again, so again we massaged him. Now every time he gets up from resting he yelps! i dont know whats wrong with him. is it a sprain, arthritis, torn muscle, what?
after i massage him he seems fine. i called a few vet places and they said to bring him in just in case its not something even worse.
im just wondering what should i do in the mean time before i take him to the vet to help with the pain. NO ASPRIN i already gave him one (doesnt seem to help) he is 11 year old dachshund

Should I take this pain relief supplement?

admin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:51:12 +0000

Hello, I have a question about Chosamin DS( a joint health supplement). I am 21 years old that is a bit overweight so I have been running alot lately and my knees have started hurting(patellar tendinitis). Would this supplement be a good idea to take to make it easier to run and prevent damage to my knee while I lose weight? Because it seems like it’s mostly elderly people with arthritis taking it and they make it seem like they all have severe chronic conditions when they say “the pain comes back if I miss a few days of taking it”. I just want to take it as a precautionary measure to keep my knees healthy while I run large amounts. This post isn’t a question about how much I should be running but only about this particular supplement. Please let me know if this would be a good idea to add to my supplementation regimen just until my weight goes back down from around 210 to 170 because I didn’t have knee pain when I weighed that. The cost isn’t a problem I just want to do EVERYTHING possible to get me running everyday and down to my running weight again as fast as possible. Thanks
Thanks for your advice. And I am well aware of the supplement scam for fat burners and muscle builders and all that jazz. I only take a nutrilite multivitamin, a fish oil, and vitamin-C. I was only considering this because of the very high reviews it has recieved online, almost 90% of the people who reviewed it on amazon said it really helped.

Pain relief for herniated disk?

admin — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 07:51:16 +0000

I have 2 herniated disks(L4 and L5) and have spinal stenosis (arthritis) in S1. I have tried drugs such as Oxycontin, Percocet, Ultram, and Tylenol 3. Currently, I’m on Neurontin, Lodine, and Zanaflex. I have had 2 epidural steroid injections and a Lumbar nerve block last week. None of this has worked and my pain is still a 10/10 and radiates down my legs. I have tens unit and have tried all kinds of linaments. I’m not a candidate for surgery because of where it is. Any suggestions of other drugs that I can get doc to prescribe or other things I can try? I’m only 29 years old and desperate!

relief for knee problems?

admin — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:53:24 +0000

My dad has been having problems with his knee for about 3 months. He finally went to the dr and he said its most likely a torn tendon. He said he can have the surgery to fix it but afterwards, he will have arthritis forever or wait it out for about 7-8 months to heal itself. He is trying to wait it out but it feels crippling to him, sometimes he has to sit down for a while or just stop what hes doing, etc. If he plans on waiting it out, what are some things he could do to relieve the pain?
Hes about 6’2 and about 320 ish lbs.
