Chondrotin and msm are naturally found in our cartilage, as we age or if you have arthritis they decrease. My friend uses a skin gel and a drinking gel for his arthritis that contain these, he says since he has been taking them he has had relief from his symptoms and is on less pain killers.\n\n He says his general health and mobility have increased since starting this natural medicine 6 weeks ago. \nHe drinks the gel twice a day and rubs the cream into the problem areas. \n\nIf you contact foreverlivingdelicious@yahoo.co.uk they will be able to help as they are the distributors.

After working unloading trucks for 6 months, my knees hurt so much I couldn't climb the 1 flight of steps to my apartment. My cousin, who works in a nursery and spends all day kneeling and lifting trees and plants, turned me on to glucosamine sulfate.\n\nBuy them at ay drug store. Glucosamine Sulfate. Not the fancier stuff with extra stuff in it. \nTake 2 at night for a week.\nThen take 1 a day for at least a month. \nYou'll feel like a new person.\n\nWhenever you have flare-ups in the future, take 1 a day until the pain stops - usually in a week.\n\nIt helps to rebuild the cartalige in your knees, and your bones are pressing on their natural cushion again, unstead of a flattened, compressed sponge, which creates friction on your bones.

Massage the areas that are in pain, and apply heat. Whatever you do, do NOT apply cold or the muscles will tighten there and cause even graeter pain. A relaxing bath may help, as well as normal exercise. Hope it helps!

Yahoo has a wonderful search engine for local information. \n\nAside from that-\nYou may not be able to find a doctor that specializes in pain managment, however most family practice doctor will be able to assist you in pain managment. If it is joint pain or arthritis you may consider seeing a rheumatologist.

Use some analgesic spray and take rest.

Most rheumatologists and orthopaedists remove fluid from swollen knees by using a needle and sterile technique. Along with the fluid, small pieces of cartilage and inflammatory mediators are sometimes removed. This alone may lessen joint inflammation, but may are opposed to this technique which may even aggravate the condition in some patients and cause further inflammation within 3-7 days.\n\nOther methods include hydrotherapy using combinations of hot and cold water as well as lymphatic drainage which can be performed by a qualified massage therapist.

arthritis? or lack of liquid and cushion left between the joint?

I hope this is a genuine question and not a joke.\n\nIf you're having pain in the knees then you may want to try Obsteo-Flex, the new product that's being advertised, or a generic brand.\n\nGlucosamine HCL, Chondroitin, and MSM are known supplements for improving joint health.\n\nHopefully, you're not suffering from arthiritis but that could be a possibility.

take some strong pain killers like hydro or something to that effect

Keep moving if you can, even if it is painful.  Some types of therapeutic massage therapy can be helpful because it helps with lymphatic drainage; toxins can build up in your joints, making the arthritis worse.  Also, I would recommend that you drink A LOT of water.  One more thing...I don't know if it's true, but both of my parents have arthritis and swear that it is MUCH better when they don't eat potatoes.  None of these things will "cure" you, but combined, they may help.

Hi Djinn\n\nHere are a few ideas to help the healing process.\n\nCause: \nArthritis is caused by acids and waste matter in the body, which eventually become solidified and lock the joint. This condition is caused and aggravated by improper diet. Some of the worst intakes are eggs, bread, milk, meat, salt, sugar, etc., because they cause arthritic calcification. The use of extremely hard water (generally of twelve or more grains in hardness) will often accentuate an arthritic condition where softer water will help relieve it. Sometimes an individual with a good inherent structure can throw off the hardest water without arthritic effect. The weaker person may drink water that is not very hard and absorb from it relatively larger quantities of the inorganic minerals. \n\n\nQuick Action Plan for Rheumatoid Arthritis\n\n1. Acupuncture treatment helps to reduce the body's aggressive defenses that inadvertently attack its own joint tissue. \n\n2. Massage affected joints with rosemary, benzoin, chamomile, camphor, juniper, or lavender. \n\n3. Diet plays an integral part in reducing or preventing the onset of all types of arthritic conditions. A diet rich in an abundant selection of fresh vegetables, and a wide variety of sweet and non-sweet fruits, soaked nuts and seeds, and whole grains is recommended. \n\n4. Tomatoes, cayenne, black and long pepper should be avoided by person's with rheumatoid arthritis. Minimize protein intake, choose small quantities of fish, legumes, eggs, soaked nuts and seeds. Eliminate beef, chicken, shellfish, and pork completely. Eat no hydrogenated fats, processed sugars, dairy products, alcohol, coffee, or black tea. \n\n5. Use the following powerful aids to speed and assist healing: Goji, Acai and Noni juice, bee pollen, royal jelly, and evening primrose oil are recommended, as is Shark cartilage, Wobenzyme, DMSO, MSM Manganese Cetyl myristoleate with lipase, and vitamin C.\n\n6. Test for food and environmental allergies and avoid all foods and substances to which you are allergic. \n\n7. Cleansing and Detoxification including colon and bowel cleansing therapies, fasting, kidney and gallbladder flushes, physical medicine, and homeopathic remedies. \nIsometric exercises, stretching, and yoga can help ease arthritis pain. \n\n8. Constitutional hydrotherapy (apply two to five times weekly) or heating compress (apply once daily to affected areas). \n\n9 Drink the juice of half a lemon before every meal and before going to bed. \n\nBest of health to your family.\n\nCheers

How Is Arthritis Pain Treated?\n\nThere is no single treatment that applies to everyone with arthritis, but rather the doctor will develop a management plan designed to minimize your specific pain and improve the function of your joints. A number of treatments can provide short-term pain relief.\n\nShort-Term Relief\n\nMedications--Because people with osteoarthritis have very little inflammation, pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol*) may be effective. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis generally have pain caused by inflammation and often benefit from aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil).\n\nHeat and cold--The decision to use either heat or cold for arthritis pain depends on the type of arthritis and should be discussed with your doctor or physical therapist. Moist heat, such as a warm bath or shower, or dry heat, such as a heating pad, placed on the painful area of the joint for about 15 minutes may relieve the pain. An ice pack (or a bag of frozen vegetables) wrapped in a towel and placed on the sore area for about 15 minutes may help to reduce swelling and stop the pain. If you have poor circulation, do not use cold packs.\nWhat does it do?\n\nGlucosamine is an important building block needed by the body to manufacture specialized molecules called glycosaminoglycans, found in cartilage.\nWhere is it found?\n\nGlucosamine is not present in significant amounts in most diets. Supplemental sources are derived from the shells of shrimp, lobster, and crab, or may be synthesized.\nWhy do athletes use it?*\n\nSome athletes say that glucosamine\nhelps reduce joint pain.\nWhat do the advocates say?*\n\nFor a long time, glucosamine dominated the market among supplements used to ease joint pain. Now, many practitioners prefer to use a combination of both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Many have found this combination to be effective, particularly for runners, who tend to develop problems with their knees. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are well absorbed by the molecules that make up cartilage. They are not available from food. It is not uncommon to have to take these supplements indefinitely to continue to experience relief.\nRecent research has shown that the results of arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis in the knee is no different than that of placebo. This gives people further reason to at least give supplements, such as glucosamine sulfate, a try before enduring more invasive, expensive approaches.\nHow much is usually taken by athletes?\n\nGlucosamine sulfate, 1,500 mg per day, is effective for reducing joint pain caused by osteoarthritis according to most studies,1 2 3 Whether other forms of glucosamine, such as glucosamine hydrochloride, are as effective for joint pain as glucosamine sulfate is unclear at this time, but studies have found some benefits from the use of the hydrochloride form.4 5 Other uses of glucosamine for sports and fitness, including prevention of joint pain or treatment of sports injuries, have not been studied.\nAre there any side effects or interactions?\n\nAt the amount most frequently taken by adults—500 mg three times per day of GS—adverse effects have been limited to mild reversible gastrointestinal side effects. In one trial, people with peptic ulcers and those taking diuretic drugs were more likely to experience side effects.6\nAnimal research has raised the possibility that glucosamine could contribute to insulin resistance.7 8 This effect might theoretically result from the ability of glucosamine to interfere with an enzyme needed to regulate blood sugar levels.9 However, available evidence does not suggest that taking glucosamine supplements will trigger or aggravate insulin resistance or high blood sugar.10 Two large, 3-year controlled trials found that people taking GS had either slightly lower blood glucose levels or no change in blood sugar levels, compared with people taking placebo.11 12 Until more is

Try water aerobics. That's a low impact way to strengthen joints.

It could be bursitis, an inflammation of the bursae( a fluid filled protective sac that reduces friction in the joints). You may end up having to see your Dr. but, try Motrin and rest, ice (20 min) and 20 min later heat (no more then 20 min) several times a day. But if the pain persists see your doctor.

Tylenol or Motrin.  A gel ice pack helps too. This type of pain is temporary and the results are worth it in the long run.
