What is the recommended dosage?

I am only 26 and a mother of three mall children and my pain levels are through the roof. It seems no matter what the Dr’s suggest nothing is working yet. I can barely get out of bed in the mornings and I can’t sleep at night because of the pain. I’m having trouble even lifting my one year old this is getting ridiculous I just can’t stand it anymore. I am currently on 100 mg of enbrel a week 10 mg of methotrexate, 200 mg of ultram, 5 of cyclobenzabrine, folic acid ,plus a few other meds for other conditions yet no relief. I need help fast I feel like I;m going off the deep end.
i have not been checked for fibromyalgia. My current GP doesn’t want to send my to a pain management specialist because of my age. I’m already taking an antidepressant Zoloft and the last time I went to the Dr he suggested trying Ambien if my sleeping doesn’t get any better. I know my babies need me they are the only reason I’m still fighting this crap.

I was thinking of playing softball as a hobby, or maybe more if I’m any good at it. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knees and hips but was told I needed to exercise. I understand that softball is no fluffy walk in the park but I have always wanted to play and be apart of a team.

Both my knees are swelled up b/c of psoriatic arthritis. Which means I can only walk for like an hour. I can keep walking, but the pain increases, with stiffness and swelling – but i NEED this job. Am I going to destroy my knee joints by working at this place?

My elderly Rottweiler has something wrong with her ear. I can tell it’s really painful because when I touched it, she bared her teeth at me, something she’s never done before. I can’t get into the vet until Tuesday. Is there anything I can do for her until then, or should I just leave her alone?

Also, she is on Tramadol (morphine) for her arthritis, will that help with the pain in her ear?

…where do you purchase it?
How effective is it? THANKS!

My mother use to say it was good for this.

I am starting to feel stiff in the morning when I get up and certain parts of my fingers hurt when it gets cold, so I am pretty sure that is the beginning of arthritis.

Has anyone taken vinegar for this patricular problem and does it really work?

Just curious to see who has Lupus and what meds they are taking. My doc gave me Naprosyn (it works for inflammation), Phenergren (for nausea and sleep, it works), Tramdol/Ultram for pain (it sucks) and Percocet for pain (starting to lose it’s touch). Also, my hands, fingers, legs and shoulders ache. Is it possible I might have Rheumatoid Arthritis? I am so tired and my body hurts. Some days good, others bad. If you have Lupus or RA, what treatments seem to work for you??? Any suggestions???

I’m 26 years old and my knees are very bad. They don’t hurt at all, but every move I make I hear cracking. Specially when I bend my knees, its when I hear it the most. I’m concerned about arthritis in my future, what should I do know to minimize my symptoms?

Have a 10, and 14 year old dogs. One has congestive heart failure, and is taking meds. One has some arthritis, and tends to have hip pain, mainly when it rains.
