Natural Arthritis pain relief.

[kenny thomas]

I have Arthritis pretty bad and have been taking prescription medication for 10+ years but it's getting so it effects my daily life very badly. I seen a Dr last week and his idea was to give me narcotics to help with the pain. I don't agree with doing that.
What are some of the natural remedies any of you have used with success?
I know several of you are older and I'm betting many have some of the same pains. I'm open for suggestions.

Actually it's a medication prescription fish oil to get really purified. Lovaza is the name.

My old neighbor swears by this stuff. You can find it at tractor supply. I personally haven't tried it yet because I try to stay away from tractor supply.

I almost never stop there but I sure will try it.

If you do try it let me know. I will be going by a TS tomorrow and may stop in there to get some. The meds I'm taking aren't doing the trick either and it's getting worse in my hands and feet.

I just ordered 3 tubes on Amazon. Price there about the same as 2 tubes at TS and I didn't leave my recliner. Delivering on Thursday.

Does cbd oil or the new legal Marijuana help any?

I take CBD oil every night. It helps me sleep but that's about it.
Can't use the legal Marijuana because of it showing up on my physical for my CDL/Hazmat license.

Willow bark has a natural pain killer and anti-inflammatory. I'd bet it would work well for arthritis but I'm not sure about topical applications.

I've tried cbd oil on my knees and at first I thought it was working... but now it's no bueno.

Then stay away from the "Delta 8" products. They are the ones that don't get you high but do have some positive effects. They have a different molecule chain, but will still test positive for THC on a blood screen. Delta 8 is sold over the counter here in TN.

That is where the original aspirin came from.

No flour and sugar for 30 days and see what happens. It doesn't cure you but it takes away inflammation in the joint.
I have it bad in my hands and have great results by just watching what I eat.
I won't take drugs for it.
Just seen Dr. last week and we discussed putting off surgery. I was considering surgery.

I use a product sold here at a Mennonite store that is advertised as THC Free. So far its passed the test.

Weed won't help but it will make you not care for a few hours! .. then you will be in the refrigerator eating everything in sight.
I know some people get results with CBD...I don't, I have tried it in every form...it doesn't work on me... probably smoked too much weed in high school.

I suggest trying a little THC. It is amazing for pain relief.

My Mom has horrible arthritis and Lupus. Talked her in to trying it when the pain meds stopped having any sort of benefit.

On her real bad days she will eat an edible or smoke half of a joint. She has always been very much against marijuana. But it is helping her quality of life.

Diet can play a part too, Kenny.

I agree it can definitely be used for a natural painkiller.

I highly recommend you actually retire so the CDL doesn't matter. Get a hot tub, a hot blonde and a half a pound of weed. A soak, a poke and a smoke. Hydrate with spring water as necessary. If that doesn't make you feel better nothing will!

Amen. And while doing an elimination diet, consider adding corn and dairy to that list. It will take 3 or 4 months for the immune system to settle down but is well worth it. Then add back in one food at a time for 3 days in a row and see what happens. Been there, done that, doing that. Not fun changing the old diet habits but well worth it.

Yes I also do not eat corn but that's because I have diverticulitis and I quit drinking cow milk many years ago. I got to say it took me awhile to get used to almond milk. But I am healthier in my 60s than I was in my 30s and 40s
