I have arthritis of the neck, i do neck exercises every morning and i see an Osteopath once a month.I have contacted my surgery to see if the Nhs can do anything but they more or less said carry on doing what you are doing. Has any body got any more ideas about any kind of relief?

Hi, all I can say is the meds help for a while, it's all about knowing what your pain tolerance is. And no t taking meds all the time. Stretches physiotherapy etc always made mine worse 1 hour session would put me on my back for 2 days. Every week for 6 months they never listen when you tell them.

Hi @Smudger

Thanks for sharing. I will tag a few other members to see if they have any ideas for you.

@WeeEileen @sfinxminx @Karenst @EdwardEP @55westo @Pete1966 @Picpic @Debbiej7 @LucyvB @cazmarelda10 @Debi.K @karendibley @John101 @Gemini51 @AmiraJustine @Shazbat27 @Ali2376 @Tuzwales60 @Steve27 @Khursh @Karen71 @kellee55 @lotsapain80

What do you do to manage your osteoarthritis? Do you stretch? Do you take any medication or use any natural remedies? If so, which ones?

Take care,

Lizzi

I have a painful neck due to osteoarthritis. I was told by the consultant, ‘if we operate on you, you will probably be in a wheelchair’ needless to say they can do nothing. I take painkillers and have a regular deep tissue massage around the area as the muscles become very painful. I use heat on it, which helps a lot. Sorry I can’t give you any more advice. Hope you can find some relief.

I have osteoarthritis also in the neck which is painful. My doctor sent me for x-rays, then physio but the pain still persists. My GP put it down to wear and tear, and being 65 now I am not surprised.

I take paracetamol which gives occasional relief, but it's also in my family's genes.

@lesmal USA seems to be years ahead of UK for stuff like this.

Hi. New to the group,I have ostiiarthritis plus sciatica and tendonitis. For this happy arrangement I'm on morphine patches ,have been for around 20 years. Last night which makes the 3rd Time ever I was cold turkey as the heat just peels away the patches by making me sweat more moist than anything . But I have an arrangement that I have 4extra 5mg patches for as and when I need them cos if you run out before the alloted date boy ,are you in trouble. And going cold turkey at the thanks to the NHS is just great. The hell can i do to stop them coming off my arm , and they are taped on. But that's my night last night ,shaking twitching sweating as the house is like an oven an to top it all, I've been in a flare up for the last week. So if any one out there goes through the same ,ehatr do you do if you have no patch?????
