Answer 2

Athritis is an autoimmune disorder for which there is no cure, however I have read that the symptoms can be greatly relieved through diet and supplements. One of the suspect foods is grains, so I'd suggest that you have your mother reduce or eliminate her consumption of bread, pasta, wheat, rice, corn, oatmeal and other cereal grains. One of the very best supplements for her condition is fish oil - look for a pharmaceutical grade quality oil that will provide between 600 and 800mg of EPA and 400 to 600mg DHA or higher per day. Keep in mind that the effects will not become apparent overnight - it may take up to a month before she starts to feel a difference. As an added bonus the Omega 3 EFAs in fish oil are known to improve mood and cognitive abilities. Conventional medicine does not hold the answer to this affliction and at best it can only alleviate the symptoms.

Answer 3

Check with your main doctor and ask for a reference of a good rheumatologist.

I recommend you get your mother a professional massage. They could do a great deal to help loosen the muscles at the hips and relaxing the pain. Physical therapy can do a great deal to help pain.

Answer 4

What kind of water is she drinking? It needs to be filtered of everything and then the minerals should be put back into it. Also she could try using magnets. They have a very profound effect on all types of Arthritis. I get my water filter from Nikken and they also make the best magnets out there.
