Hi @Billy15,
Thank you for starting this important discussion. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re experiencing pain due to osteoarthritis, it can be so challenging to deal with. There are many different approaches that might help, depending on the type of pain you’re experiencing, like OTC medications, prescription treatments, or even physical therapy and heat therapy. Have you reached out to your GP about this yet?
It seems our members might have missed this discussion so far. I’d love to hear more from the community about their experiences.
For everyone reading: What pain relief methods have worked well for you when dealing with osteoarthritis? Do you have tips on managing pain day-to-day, or suggestions for specific treatments that have been helpful?

@Somya.P I have osteoporosis I take ibronic acid one a month it used to be 1 a week but they changed it to 1 a month, paracetamol, 4times a day and calcium tablet, every morning to help as I have a lot of pain in my arms knees and legs and hips as I was diagnosed with this when I was young as my bones were very brittle when I fall over my bones split and splinter instead of breaking I use a rolator, or a mobility scooter, or a walking stick if it is not far.or using when my husband takes me to the Dr's

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?????

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.
