What non prescription medication is use full for arthritis?

Answer 1

Aleve

Answer 2

There are over 100 different kinds of arthritis. Medications which relieve some forms have no effect on others.

For example, glucosamine chondroitin has been helpful to many for easing the pain of Osteo Arthritis, but will do no good for those with Rheumatoid or Psoriatic Arthritis.

The best relief I've found for my Rheumatoid is a healthy diet, consisting of raw foods, mostly fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. I also supplement with organic coconut oil and raw garlic by the tons!

Answer 3

Actually, you've come to the right person in asking this question, and the reason for that is because I too have arthritis, and my doctor has advised me to take specific things which can be purchased at your local health food store. They are as follows:- Glucosamine Sulphate + ChondroitinSulphate combined (500 mg - take 1 tablet 3 times per day)
- MSM(1000 mg - take 1 tablet 3 times per day)
- Celedren(250mg I think that is what the strength is - 1 capsule 3 times per day)
-Omega 3(1 capsule 3 times per day)
- There is a cream by the company Jamieson. It contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and Vitamin E. Rub it on your aching joint the 1st thing in the morning. For me that is all that is necessary. However if it still bothers you, then use it when necessary. One of the best benefits of this cream is, forget the fact that it works, but as well there is no obscene odor which would turn you off from using it.
Good luck to you.

Answer 4

I first got fairly serious symptoms of Arthritis at the ripe old age of 17! That was 41 years ago and I have had Arthritis since then. Fortunately, my hero growing was was Edgar Cayce. I have never trusted my health to drugs of any kind, as they cause much more serious side effects than they "cure", if they have ever cured anything. So, I have used Edgar Cayce's advice for as long as I have known about him; Cold pressed Peanut, preferably organic, slowly and thoughtfully massaged on the affected areas whenever symptoms flare up, and a few cherries, once or twice a day eaten with the same measure of thoughtfulness as in the rubbing on of the Peanut Oil. I favor dried and unsulfered, unsweetened tart Montmorency cherries. It seems to lack understanding as to why this particular combination works, but it does. I have been an active and working contractor forever, it seems, (more than 35 years now) and my Arthritis has never stopped me, and only rarely causes me any real distress unless I slip up and eat too many acid-producing foods.... Diet is also of MAJOR importance in controlling symptoms of Arthritis. Red Meats, Tomatoes, Eggplant, Wheat, Hot Peppers, etc. are definite No Nos. Give Edgar Cayce's extremely accurate advice a try, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Answer 5

A number of supplements can be beneficial for arthritis, both to relieve inflammation and pain and to help rebuild joint cartilage.

1.Cartilage-building compound glucosamine can be one of the most effective remedies for the long-term relief of osteoarthritis pain.

2.MSM, another substance that appears to slow cartilage degeneration, or with the trace mineral boron.

3.If the combination of glucosamine and MSM does not provide relief after six to eight weeks, try replacing MSM with one of the following supplements: niacinamide, a form of vitamin B that is a particularly effective reliever of knee pain, or a mixture containing chondroitin sulfate, another cartilage-building compound.

4.To relieve or reduce discomfort, try the herbs boswellia or white willow; both have anti-inflammatory effects.

5.Bromelain, the natural anti-inflammatory derived from pineapple, can be effective in controlling the pain of osteoarthritis, especially when it's combined with other supplements like glucosamine and MSM.

6.SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), a cartilage-building form of the amino acid methionine, has anti-inflammatory effects similar to ibuprofen's.

7.Try applying cayenne cream to painful joints. you must use an effective dose of capsaicin cream regularly (two or three times a day for over a week) to know if cayenne will help your arthritis.
