Hi Irene, maybe a warm bath if you are able to get in one or maybe some deep heat creme or spray hope you feel painfree soon xxx

Hi Irene

Try taking anti flams in addition to pain relief, other than that cold or heat treatments on the affected joints as Sheener has suggested above.

good luck

Hi, maybe a massage might help. I find it improves my circulation. Or Reflexology might be worth a try?

Do you have RA Irene? This sounds very much like mine was when it first started so I hope you take yourself to a GP and get checked out as well as following the good suggestions here. Tilda x

Hi

I suffer terribly with pains in my legs/feet especially in the evening or through the night. I take Amytriptyline and Tramadol a couple of hours before bed which do help and make the difference between getting some sleep or sitting up half the night.

Have a chat with your GP and see if he can offer anything to help.

heat might help, i've found vetwrap or those self adesive bandages can help a lot.

my arm was killing me on saturday so i bandaged it from just above my elbow to my wrist - it didm't help my shoulder, but it helped my elbow and wrist a bit.
