Answer 2

Speaking from a Homeopathic perspective I would highly suggest seeing a Classical Homeopath.
Speaking from a common sense approach I would suggest seeing an orthopedic surgeon and ascertaining whether or not this is really arthritis or just an old injury. A set of images to rule out the obvious is called for here. It would be unlikely that you would have arthritis in one knee at 16yo. But there is hope. Most good Homeopaths can treat someone w/ arthritis.

Peace and prosperity, Rik

Answer 3

I have a buddy that combines a million T. of vinegar 1T. honey and beverages it daily. She swears through it. Another factor I can let you know that I use is a topical muscle rub cream. If you are living close a Dollar General retailer they promote it for $a million.00 in line with a million.25 oz.. I purchase it like four tubes at a time. It works truly good. Smells like Ben Gay, the ancient stuff. My fingers are crippled from arthritis. I understand what I am speakme approximately. If you do not are living practically one perhaps you'll be able to order it on-line. I wish this is helping you, and I am certain it's going to. Good success honey and I wish you're feeling greater very quickly.

Answer 4

As a physician with a naturopathic bent, I absolutely recommend omega 3 essential fatty acids (which is what is in fish oil) I have patients use the plant source as the fish source is known to be contaminated with mercury. You can get them at any Wal-Mart or Sams club. Just be sure its a plant source.
Modern diets are absolutely deficient in omega 3 EFA s, which makes the ratio of omega 3 EFA s to Omega 6 EFAs way out of proportion. This causes the body to produce more inflammatory mediators than it should and promotes auto-immune disease like JRA. See the below articles as just two of hundreds of studies supporting this idea. Of course one needs to try to reduce or preferably eliminate processed grains and refined sugars in the diet and move to whole grain products. Vegetables and fruits or a good antioxidant supplement IF you are not getting those in your diet.

The other uses of homeopathic and herbals are in modulating the immune system. Echinacea, Mushrooms such as reishi, Shiitake, and herbs such as red clover and golden seal help support immune function and bring balance, meaning increasing a deficient one or reining in one that is overactive.

One source I use is a company called symmetry, they have a product called immunity,, its inexpensive and has a blend of many of the herbs mentioned above their site is:

These are but a few concepts of using diet to modualte disease, but above all no matter what source of supplements you chose... EDUCATE YOURSELF!!

Answer 7

i personally have had JRA and a complication of it known as MAS...it depends on what you are looking for: a creme or a pill. but i found (once i was off presciption) that a high dose of ibuprofen helped me a lot. i never used the cremes. i have been cleared, but i hope that you can stick through it....all we can do is hope. HANG IN THERE!

Answer 8

my sister swears by fish oil tablets, found in vitamin sections of most stores. my uncle swears by rubbing wd40 (mechanic spray lubricant) onto the sore joint. personally, i'd try the fish oil. wd40 smells terrible.
