My best friends husband has rheumatoid arthritis but he never had pain in his ribs always in his joints. He sees a specialist for it he was young when he got it in his mid 30's. that's all I know.

From my understanding, osteo-arthritis is pretty much damage already done (a wear-and-tear type of arthritis) so the best thing to do is stay in shape to minimize the stress on your joints.  Try water exercise in a heated pool.  It will soothe your joints and keep them limber.\n\nAnd a note about the suggestion that you eliminate dairy... there's lots of different diets that go around but I think you'll find that very few rheumatologists reccommend these elimination diets.  Talk to your doctor first.  Remember you are at a higher risk for osteoporosis with arthritis, so doing something like cutting out dairy would make it harder for you to get your necessary calcium.

Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory..I have just found out that yucca is great for arthritis--breaks up calcium deposits and is anti-inflammatory..A natural healer I just saw prescribed large doses (for me 9 caps and 6 of nature's sunshine calcium with vit D --I am overweight so he may have used more??) for rheumatoid arthritis.\n\n.Please use caution with prescription anti-inflammatories..My mother got permanent kidney damage from taking Motrin for arthritis and is now dying and on dialysis.  \n\nAlso try raw apple cider vinegar in sea salt water or with honey (you may not be able to use honey being diabetic)and water --a few spoons and drink few times a day..\n\nI have heard a vegan diet will reverse arthritis.  Also see Dr. Richard Schulze's incurable (save your life) program..it has cured diabetes according to testimonials.  I definitely believe in it.

My husband has arthritis in his knees and hips from the same reason. Heating pads work for him at night, and aleve works for him during the day. The heating patches he wears to work and he swears by them. Winter makes it especially hard for him due to the cold weather so every night he takes a hot bath. At night we have the thermostat turned up to make our room warmer to ease the pain while he's sleeping...one simple rule of thumb...think heat because it will relieve the pain...as far as pills once again Aleve!

If you haven't had a clinical diagnosis, don't give up on the possibility that your pain might not be arthritis. My husband had a variety of symptoms, one of which was joint and bone pain. The doctors tested him for rhumatoid, but the results came back negative. It turned out that he had celiac disease. Celiac primarily impacts the digestive system, but advanced cases of the disease get all sorts of autoimmune problems and nutrient deficiencies - one of which is bone and joint pain. Once he quit getting gluten in his diet his pain completely went away. \n\nIf he gets a gluten infraction the pain will return. We had that last summer when they had cookouts at work pretty regularly for several weeks in a row. He was careful to select foods that were gluten free, but he kept getting a reaction each time. Since he could find no initial cause, he figured he just had a mild viral infection. By the end of two weeks he had terrible bone and joint pain. We finally discovered that Kingsford charcoal uses gluten as a binding agent in their bricketts. The cookouts were with Kingsford. Kingsford stated that the gluten would burn up completely and couldn't contaminate the food; however, my husband's body showed them to be wrong. He quite eating the grilled foods and his symptoms subsided in just a few days. We have come arcross several other celiacs since then who said they had the same problem with Kingsford.\n\nSo, if your doctor hasn't difinitively gotten test results that prove arthritis, do a bit of research to see what conditions have this pain as a symptom.\n\nGood luck.

I tried REIKI. I went from wanting small doses of morphine to not needing anything at all. There are no guarantees with anything and don't EVER give up your regular treatments, but I don't thnk REIKI will hurt and its worth a try. I have inflamatory osteo arthritis and fibromyalgia.

There are several alternative meds for pain and swelling.  These are herbs and phytonutirents in foods.  Herbs include tumeric and ginger.  These have a tremendous anti inflammatory effect.  Pineapple has an ingredient known as bromelain.  This too has effects on inflammation and pain.  You should be able to find several articles on these foods.  Another important supplement is fish oil.  This as been found to affect the inflammatory cascade associated with arthritis.  \n\nHowever, you injuries seem to be disc related.  I would of course recommend the above, but intermittent traction is the best treatment for you symptoms.  These are therapies like VAX-D.  I only say VAX-D because it is the most well known.  DRX is the best in my opinion.  These therapies do not involve surgery and are becoming more available.

I have had arthritis for over 30 years now, and I have found the best products for me are Melaleuca Oil, used directly on the joints to reduce inflamation, (on those days when there is a flare up) and Melaleuca's Replenex which contains Glucosamine HCI, Bromelain, Ginger, and Green Tea.\n\nI would be happy to talk to you further about Melaleuca if you are interested.

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

I've had arthritis for about 15 years now and it's miserable. I try to take hot baths a couple of nights a week, unfortunately take pain killers and Conair has an awesome pad you put in your tub that makes it like a jacuzzi - does wonders and you can get it at Sears. Have you tried Glucosamine? The only time it really ruins my activities is if a storm is coming in. I can tell the minute the barometric pressure changes. Good Luck and God Bless both of you.I understand.

You really should go talk to your doctor.  The problem with RA is that it's not just pain, its causing damage to your joints as the disease develops.  Even if you don't have inflammation your joints could still be deteriorating.  Some of the new meds (biologics) really help slow down the damage.  I've been on Enbrel for a six months and am in remission.  When I was diagnosed with RA one year ago I was in incredible pain whenever I tried to unlock the door, start my car, or open a bottle.  Now I feel very little. These meds don't work as well for everyone, but it has really helped me.\n\nAside from visiting your doctor to make sure you are getting proper treatment, you should stay active and eat right.  With a disease that effects the immune system, its important to stay healthy so things don't get worse.  You should try water exercises in a heated pool.  This will give you the exercise you need and is a lot less painful.  You can also ask your doctor what other remedies you can try or changes you can make so that life is a little easier.\n\nVisit http://www.arthritis.org for tips on living with arthritis and to reach out to others with RA - it has helped me a lot.  Good luck with your treatment!!\n\nBy the way... be aware of the difference between rheumatoid arhritis and osteoarthritis!!  They are two very very differnt illnesses, that just share the common name "arthritis." Lots of people get osteo, and they do just fine with a pain reliever.  But RA is a progressive disease.  You can't just stand by and leave it untreated.  It will likely only cause more damage and more pain the longer you wait.  I notice a lot of times people will answer questions about RA like it is the same as what their grandma always had, but it is far more serious and has much different treatments!!

(m)\n\nMedication will help reduce pain and inflammation. Although medication can not "cure" your arthritis, it can help you lead an active life again. \nThese are some of the treatments you can try. Your doctor can advise you. You may need to experiment to see which suits you best. \n\nsimple painkillers, eg. paracetamol \nanti-inflammatory drugs eg. ibuprofen (Brufen or Nurofen) \ncreams and gels, useful for small joints like finger joints \nmassage \nwarmth \naromotherapy \nacupuncture \nwax baths \nsteroid injections \njoint replacement operations \nSome people need to have regular treatment. Others only need to have treatment during a flare up of arthritis. \n\nIf your joints are very painful and inflamed, you will need to rest. Medication will help reduce any pain and swelling. Paracetamol is helpful, and is safe for most people to take. However, if you suffer from other medical conditions, or if you take other medication, it is a good idea to ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.\nWarming your joints with a warm flannel, hot water bottle, or a warm shower can help with morning stiffness and improve mobility.\n\nAs soon as you can, you need to become mobile and active. Sitting or resting for long periods will make your joints stiff and your muscles weak. Gentle walks and stretching excercises can help. Swimming is an excellent sport, and can help you keep mobile without putting a stress on your joints.\n\nIf you are overweight, you should try very hard to lose weight. \n\nThere is no evidence that special diets are helpful, and you should have a healthy diet which includes fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and dairy products. Some people find taking cod liver oil helpful.\n\nYou may find getting out of a low seat is difficult, and many modern seats are too low and soft. You should choose a comfortably padded, upright chair, with a firm back and arm rests.\nIf you have arthritis of the knees, hips or ankles, wearing cushioned shoes can help. Look for good quality "trainers", or shoes with thick rubber soles. Choose shoes with a good grip, so that you feel secure while walking. If your walking is badly impaired by knee or hip arthritis, a walking stick or walking frame may be very helpful. \n\nIf you have disabling arthritis, there are many gadgets which can make life easier. This equipment can be found in large pharmacies, specialist shops, or from catalogues. An occupational therapist may be able to advise you. \n\nlong handled shoe horns \nspecial tools for putting on socks or stockings \nspecial grips for your keys \nadapted cutlery and beakers \nraised toilet seat \nhand rails in the bathroom or toilet \na special seat in the bath

I know how you feel, I used to suffer from this problem but since i am an alternative medicinal therapist I've managed to control it. Now let's see if i can help.\nThere are many effective alternatives for this condition so be patient.\nThis condition is an erosion of a cartilage of a joint.The aged sometimes suffer from a dimished supply of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which is necessary for normal calcium metabolism. An effective substitute is 2 teaspoons of cider vinegar in a glass of water sipped before or during meals.\nAlternatives are: Black Cohosh and Meadowsweet(natural sources of salicylic acid) Hawthorn for blood circulation or Devils claw.\nCelery seeds = 1 tsp to one cup of boiling water, infuse for 15 mins. Half to one cup 2-3 times a day,before meals.\nDiet: Oily fish,low fat, low salt,high fibre.Avoid lemons and other citrus fruits.\nCod liver oil is very good for cartilage repair.Hot and cold compresses twice daily.Capsicum cream. Hot epsom salt baths twice weekly.\nThe list is endless, but your GP won't give you any information like this.They like to dish out painkillers instead.\nSuppliments: Pantothenic acid, 10mg of Vitimin A = 7500iu \nVitimin B6 25mg, Vitimin E 400iu: Zinc 25mg\nI can also give you recipes for aromatherapy oils but it's much to long for this page.\nIf you need any more information please contact me by e-mail 'alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk or tele 01843 588668.I'm always here.\n\nGloria j Jones )BSYA-SEN)
