Hi I am fairly new to this site I have OA in my right foot have regular injections which help greatly. Have tried flexiseq gel also which I feel helps 

Hi I have OA in my shoulder , i have lidocaine patches and butrans 5 %

i have heard good reviews taking painkillers via mouth dont agree with me

Hi im fairly new to this site,i have osteo and rheumatoid arthritus,hiatus hernia and have broken my neck twice and back once.I take tramadol and gabapentine.arcoxia and methotrexate as well as omeprazole for duodenal ulcer and to protect my stomache from all the other crap i have to take. This wet weather plays hell with my condition,had right hip replacement,waiting for left.Heat is best treatment i have found.electric blanket for my back, hips ,knees and ankles.Hot water for wrists or spend an hour in a hot bath as hot as body can take.   And forcing myself to move 1st thing in morning,but with all this i still hill climb on a motorcycle.

I have Oestoarthritis and take cocodeamol and gabapentin take lansopazole for my stomach ... Find the only time I'm pain free is when I take the strongest dose but then it knocks me out so not able to drive or go about daily chores

I only use pregabalin for my pain as i have fibromyalgia as well as osteo in my knees, manage pain quite well unless im doing something hard, as i`m landscaping my front garden then i suffer for a few days.

I also take paracetamol as anything else hurts my stomach.

Soldier on and think positive. 

Has anybody else tried using the magnet products .? will I be wasting my money again ? 

Hi every one.

I take Glucosamine Sulphate, MSM, Omega 3 and Cod Liver oil amongst many other supplements, but still suffer from a lot of pain with OA. I eve use Glucosamine sulphate cream o both my knees and fingers of one hand. When I was o Celebrex, my OA was well under control. Then my GP suggested that I came off them as the Media Reported that several patients taking Celebrex were having heart attack. So I took myself off them. I can not take any Codeine based drugs nor Naproxen or Ibuprofen. I used to be on Viox which was good but again it had the same reputation as Celebrex and was taken off the market. Is there ay one of you out there been on Celebrex for a long time? I would like to know. I also have Hypertension and Heart murmur, hence the reason I came off Celebrex but my Arthritis is worsening by the day and am wondering if I should risk and go back o Celebrex. Can any one shed any light on this? I will be very grateful. Thank you.

Hello all,

I did post some time ago about the use of Flexiseq.   This gel has totally changed my life !  just wondering if anybody else has used it or indeed tried it.    I have recommended to 6 people and it has worked on everybody.   Perhaps it might be worth a try. Good luck.

I have tried Flexiseq previously & sadly it didn't work for me. Anybody got any ideas on combating fatigue And hints on pacing?? I struggle a lot with the latter

I was taking Meloxicam with Omeprazole but the doctor has since stopped the Meloxicam as this affects the stomach, which is has, but am now taking Paracetamol/Codene Phosphate when needed. A bit depressed at the minute as I am try be positive with constant back and foot pain due to fusion in both these areas. My reason for the pain killers, as and when, it bothers me as I don't know if these cause stomach problems

Any comments and help would be much appreciated.
