Answer 1

I think you really do need to ask your physician to refer you to a good rheumatology doctor. There are a couple of conditions that come to mind, that you need to be checked for. Fibromyalgia is one of them. But, I am NOT a doctor.

However, I have a pretty significant rheumatologic disease....lupus. I find that Aleve is the best over the counter medication to take for arthritic type pains.

Hope this helps, Hon. Hang in there. Sometimes, it takes a while to get these things diagnosed properly. But, don't let the doctors just brush you off. Insist that they listen to you and test you. Blood work can tell them a lot.

God bless!

This is fairly important. A very good thing to add to your diet is an Aloe Vera drink called Forever Freedom. It is not available in shops, only from distributors on better still, direct from the web site. Check it up on www.foreverliving.com If you want to save 30% on all these products, and why not?, just join as a distributor (for which there is no charge and no, you do not have to sell anything!!) Now to join you need to be introduced by a distributor. Your luck is in! Just quote my details and you're in: My name is Frank Woods from Dublin, Ireland. My distributor number, which you will be asked for, is 353-000-019-886.
Just to let you know how good this drink is my mother is 90 years old and drinks a bottle of Forever Freedom every two weeks!! She swears by it. Best of Irish Luck to you. Frank.
PS get the Aloe Vera heat lotion as well. This will help you very much. Another very good product for your condition is the MSM cream. Well worth a try. The company offers a 60 day money back guarantee, so you are not taking any risks!!

Answer 3

Marijuana is the best medicine for arthritic pain and a multitude of other ailments unfortunately you can go to prison and in some countries could be put to death so depending on where you live in the world depends greatly on how much you will suffer, before trying this natural herbal medicine find out what the laws are on Marijuana in your country. In Canada, Mexico and parts of Europe Marijuana is perfectly legal. But if you live in the USA you will need to dish out some $80.00-$150.00 a bottle to some rip off Hoffman LaRoche drug company and become addicted to perscription pain pills.

Answer 4

I recommend that you get another opinion, in particular from a rheumatologist. They will run tests such as on your blood to see if it picks up anything that way since the x-rays are not showing anything. If you have already been to a rheumatologist (drs who diagnose and treat diseases of the joints) then pls get an opinion from another one but not from someone in the same office of the dr you already went to.

Answer 5

I recommend that you see a physician, and ask for a prescription pain killer, such as Vicodin, which is an EXTREMELY WEAK painkiller, or if you need something stronger Percocet or the more daring Oxycontin.
