go see a rheumatologist .
i understand that you are in a lot of pain and that you are searching for temporary relief , but you won't feel better by causing another problem. please go see a specialist, rheumatologist or even an orthopedic surgeon .
i hope you feel better soon .
please don't resort to what you will deeply regret later.

It would be preferable to take a powerful, natural anti-inflammatory such as mangosteen juice.
In most types of arthritis the majority of mangosteen's benefits will come from it's anti-inflammatory efffects because it blocks the COX enzymes that are pro-inflammatory. In addition, mangosteen does'nt cause the dangerous gastrointestinal side effects of prescribed or over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs. The mangosteen also exihibits a neurological pain-reducucing effect,which exists because of it's ability to inhibit the COX-2 in the central nervous system, where the enzyme is responsible for augmenting pain signals. For example, this COX-2 blocking effect is likely responsible for the pain relief reported by patients with vertebral disc compression syndromes (such as sciatica) where nerve damage caused by "degenerative joint disorders" is the underlying problem.
Drugs are dangerous and foods, as supplements, are not.

Absolutely not! Pot works great for headaches however THC is a form of acid and it will destroy your joints and cause more pain down the line. If you smoke cigarettes then quit. I had terrible pain too and when I quit it disapeared. Also stay away from diet soda it will also deteriorate the joints.

It may, but it could get u into addictions and in legal trouble in some places. Pot contains some chemicals which dull the pain, but there are other and probably better options. If you are seriously interested in alternative therapies, I am willing to help you. Freely. No spam and no scam, just good information.

Actually, something natural to drink that many of my patients with Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis drink is Himalayan goji juice. I had on patient whom was taking all kinds of pain meds and they did not work. I strongly recommend this and it is money-back guaranteed.
