Osteoarthritis natural remedy recommendations required please

I have been using rose hip capsules for years now. I first noticed them for sale at a horse show and then they were only  for horses. A few years later they were available for dogs and then later on again they introduced them for humans. I started with 6 a day for a month and then down to 3 a day for the last 4 to 5 years. I do notice an increase in pain if I forget to take them for more than 3 days so believe they work for me. I also take bio turmeric. (1 a day). So far with these capsules and exercise I am leading a pretty full life with 3 days a week at the gym and 2 days a week with a personal trainer.  I have arthritis in my neck, back, thumbs and ankles and I am 69.

Hi

I use GNC Womens joint health package but I am sure they have it for males. It has a multi vitamin and fish oil and gluesomine and chondroitin. I have felt better since taking them a month ago. I exercise daily and work core strengthening. Very important

Hey Martin, I echo everyone else seti,ents. Don’t take painkillers they just cause poor problems. I take massive doses of supplements every day. Vitamin B12, D3, C (1 gram) and also magnesium chelate, MSM, ginger, garlic, cumin roots and also use a Chinese Linament oil. I often mix the garlic,ginger, linament cumin into to very hot water and massage in. I then soak into cotton balls and wrap joint...leave overnight. 

I also take probiotics as an added boast to my immune system, though my sitatuion is different in so much as that I have inflammation that I am trying to reduce. 

Yes to as as much exercise as you can muster. I also have cupping massages regularly. 

Seriously have ave very little pain now...sure my wrist by end of day, if I have been doing strenuous activities,  can be sore but after soaking it is vastly reduced. 

Have not not had a painkiller now for over three weeks after five months of sbdulute bedridden pain.  On the pend. Oh and I would try seeing a gp that practices naturopathy 

good luck

In the early days I did take Glucosamine but didn't find any benefit. I have used Capsicum cream and also voltarol. As my OE progressed to bone on bone  I found that the only way to get rid of the pain was to get the joint replaced. Its wonderful I am now pain free and no need to take anything and I have some movement back in the joint.  

I find turmeric (curcumin) greatly relieves the pain. It has the same effect as taking Celebrex though it's natural. Within one week of taking it my pain reduces substantially. I take 500mg with 95% concentration in curcumin.

I use voltarol gel with diclofenac sometimes, and take GOPO w/ vitamin C recommended by a rheumatologist. Also take vitamin D capsules. I would stay away from NSAIDs because they destroy even more the cartilage. This was a rheumatologist that told me. Do some exercise daily. I’m 42 with arthritis for 10 years.
