Dealing with arthritis

Hello everyone. I decided to write here because arthritis has been part of my life for many years, and it’s a daily challenge I’m still learning to manage. It started with stiffness and pain in my joints, especially in the mornings, and over time it became harder to ignore. Simple things like walking, working with my hands, or even resting properly began to hurt. I’ve tried different approaches, exercises, and lifestyle changes, but flare-ups still come and go, affecting both my body and mood.

A while ago, I came across a gel called Artodip, which I later ordered from this site: progearph.org/deu/joints/artodip-gel. I didn’t expect miracles, but after using it consistently, I noticed some relief—less stiffness, easier movement, and much more comfort during the day. I understand it’s not a cure and doesn’t replace proper treatment, but for me it became a helpful addition to my routine.

I’d like to ask others who live with arthritis: what helps you most in the long run? Has anyone tried Artodip gel, and what was your experience? Are there habits, exercises, or daily routines that truly make a difference? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Pain Pump

Has anyone had experience with a pain pump. I am scheduled to get one implanted but a little nervous about it as many meds just do not help me. #AnkylosingSpondylitis #Arthritis #RheumatoidArthritis

After effects of injury

I have posted about this before but this is with new insights. Because of heavy lifting when moving the woodpile, I restarted an old groin injury. This much isn't new but what follows is. It also kick started arthritis in my hands which went into spasm several times in the evening. Also getting up in the morning my spine seemed to flex and catch nerves there. Plus an old nerve injury in my left leg flared up again as did ancient bone injuries in my feet, making it painful and difficult to move for a few minutes every now and then. Also my hips itch like mad and (unexpectedly) I keep having problems with static discharge (shocks in my spine and sparks nipping across from my fingers to the metal radiators). Who knew one act would have this many repercussions?

Can you help me? I have a question about Arthritis.

I’m looking for some help and advice:
I believe that I have Arthritis in my knee and I was hoping that anyone might be able to offer tips and advice on how to manage this.
I have found that my knee is very painful when it gets cold and the cold weather is making me knee very painful even when I’m not doing anything. Does someone have any advice or recommendations that could help with my knee pain?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Mocanaqua00. I'm worried about the peripheral neuropathy getting worse so tht I will be in a wheel chair. I have a walker and a scooter which I use to get around. I take physical therapy at home as much as is offered by Medicaire and United Health Care. I was very active until the pandemic and I am now 91 years old wih arthritis. I live alone but have help for housework and shopping. I have started with tremors lately and feel afraid to go out because of the fear of falling. My balance is not good.
