Need advic!

Hi there I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to try and do for my Grandmother,she was told she had that crippling arthritis.I honestly dont know the medical term but thats what they have told her.She has severe pain that all they do for her is keep her pumped up on painkillers.She gets to where she cant walk to well at times till the meds kick in she basically eats them like candy to keep the pain down,I couldnt get anywhere with the doc.I was wondering if someone could suggest a particular doctor that would maybe be able to tell her more and maybe give her something that will help beside the painkillers. Any advice is much appreciated.

What a sweet granddaughter you are to pursue this for your grandmother.  She is lucky to have you.  It is hard to rely on pain killers.  Are they giving her anything for inflamation (inflammation)?  Have you tried getting her heat wraps or rubs?  Thermacare wraps are wonderful and provide lots of relief if heat works.  What joints are effected?  See if you can get the name of the arthritis.  there are over 100 types and there are differences between them.

I would find out what meducation she is on. Then you can find out more . If she is just taking tylenol, she may need something stronger and that is why she is taking so much. She needs a Rheumatologist to find out also what kind of arthritis she has etc. I t would be great if you would go with her.

I can understand her pain. I have to use a walker now to get around as the pain is staggering!!!

i donot know if u believe our chinese herbs

if u believe ,i think i can give u some suggestion

for the older person ,the best she can do is strong her energy

arthritis is because of the useless water in the body , so it become series in humid weather and humid place

if we can strong the energy ,the body itself will drive out of the water by itself



what do u think  ?

A homeopathic doctor may be worth a try.Also juniper oil with sandalwood,mix together,put on legs and wrap in a warm towel.Extra vitamin c,time released..Avoid veg.oils Walk in a pool.
You need good companionship,lack of feeling love can make it worse.Arthritic people tend to be self-sacrificing & sensitive.Take time out for yourself.If you don't know God,get to!!!Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory,add 5gms to food,the spice.Better yet,New chapter organics Ginger force.Yoga.Hope this helps! God Bless,Jen
