Arthritis Pain

[MaminaElsie]

Have had very bad & excruciating pain in one knee & an MRI has confirmed I have Arthritis plus a few other bits in the knee. My concern here is the Arthritis part of the diagnosis. Been prescribed strong pain killers as NSAID raises my BP. I also use Lidocaine Plasters while waiting to see the Knee Specialist. Any advise from other sufferers? I am trying to prepare myself for the long haul for arthritic pain. I have consciously started loosing weight even though I am not obese but pain is no better. I have improved on my already very very healthy Mediterranean diet & pain is no better. I walk walk walk - keep active but pain no better. Gosh I am worried about long term!!!

Hey! MaminaElsie.

Going through your query here is a reply .

Don't let the pain worry you.

Knee Pain Causes:

• A number of issues that affect the proper functioning of one or both knees may cause pain.

• Injury is the most common cause, but other conditions such as arthritis may lead to joint deterioration and discomfort.

• Sprains or Strains in the Ligament and Muscle Tissue

• These types of injuries often occur when the knee receives blunt trauma or is twisted in the wrong direction.

• Sprains and strains most often arise during contact sports but may occur during any abrupt or sudden movement.

I have been in terrible pain with my right hip for weeks now, and can hardly walk. I have been diagnosed with Arthritis and booked in for Steroid Injection, has any one had this done ? and did it work ?

I have been told that Apple Cider Vinegar works wonders for Athritis, does any one know If this is affective ?

It doesn't have to be the long haul, I've had arthritis for 17 years, but I have changed my diet and got my inflammatory marker down from the 90s to 7! How did I do it? Well I stumbled upon a you tube talk given by Clint Paddison in Australia, I didn't beleive it as nothing had worked for me, plus I'd started to develop tendonitis. But have a look youtube.com/watch?v=en3YF2a...(Not working as expected?)
