Answer 2

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.

If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.

Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.

And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.

I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.

It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.

Today, I want to do the same for you!

Answer 3

I have it in my hips, knees and ankles. I thought that I would eventually be in a wheel chair. It hurt so bad to stand up, and walk. I heard cracking when going up the steps. A woman was passing out samples of Osteo Bi-Flex at Wal-Mart and I took one. I didn't hurt for three days. Since then I take it every day and I can walk again, and even run up the steps. Oh, I'm 52 years old, and have had it for several years.

Answer 4

My cousin is so crippled up with rheumatoid, she is in a wheel chair most of the time. She has had joints replaced but then it hits
somewhere else. She was on humara, and some of the others
but she gets a lung infection. I wish they would work harder on finding help for this problem. I wish you the best of luck. I exercise and walk to try preventing myself from getting it because my grandmother had it and it does run in families.

Answer 5

There are 2 new medications on the market. One is Enbrel and the other Humira. These are injections, he can be taught to do them himself. Ask his Dr about them. They are very successful.

Answer 6
