Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction.
I have been taking NSAID's for pain but can't take them anymore. They have been twisting my guts up and I just spent 2 days in shear pain. I don't want to take anymore NSAID's as it just kills my lower abdomen. I don't always have the option of using heat packs especially at work so any helpful tips on what I can do or alternative treatments would be a blessing right now.
I take Tramadol. Non narcotic. It is stronger than NSAIDs.
Maybe discuss with doctor what other options are available to you.
If you are trying to deal with things on your own and want to try alternatives.
Turmeric is an anti inflammatory. I take it three times a day. Available in capsules or you can get it in bulk and can add teaspoon to water and chug it back.
Boswellia serrata is a herb and an anti inflammatory. Available in capsules.
I have been taking Prickly Pear for a couple of weeks now and think it is helping because I skipped a Tramadol a couple of times. You can get prickly pear in capsule form. Read up on prickly pear. Many reviews saying how it helps with pain. I buy the Solaray brand. And have been taking three capsules a day. There are some expensive versions out there so shop around. Solaray is affordable.
All the things I have mentioned I take and do not have any side effects. No stomach problems or anything. In fact turmeric aids digestive help.
I hope this helps.
I hope you get to feeling better soon.
