PILLS FOR ARTHRITIS

by ellye, Jul 14, 2008 03:44PM
I have been taking OSTEO BI-FLEX TRIPPLE STRENGTH for 6 months now and I am afraid to stop taking it.
Some days I have pain in my Knees and Hands and Neck so I do not know if it is helping.  On days I have no pain I think it is helping and on other days I do not think so.  When the pain gets real bad I take 4 ADVIL GEL TABS and it helps a little.
Any help will be appreciated

Hi and welcome to our forum.  If I may ask, are you being treated by a doctor and if so what type of arthritis do you have?

I have been to alot of doctors and all of them say I have Arthritis.  My rheumotologist was really funny.  His comments were, if you are in pain SIT and when you feel good WALK.  
Actually that is what I  do.  I go in the pool 3X a week and stay at home the rest of the time.  I am 73 years old and have had both knee's replaced.  One knee still gives me pain and the dr says it's probably nerve damage and nothing can be done.
I take 800 ADVIL when the pain gets really bad and when it is unbearable I go on PREDNISONE for 7 days.  I do not do the prednisone more than 2X a year.
