Anything for soothing rheumatoid arthritis? |
I'm 13 and was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I have it in my wrists, knees, feet, ankles, and hands. My ankles are hurting REALLY bad right now (I can barley walk) is there anything I can do to help it stop hurting? :( THanks It sucks, period. There really isn't anything you can do other than take a nice hot bath. I take my prescribed anti inflammatory meds and a truck load of pain meds and it still hammers through. You might want to talk to your doc about " tramadol ". It is fairly new in Canada, but it is a new pain med that changes the way your brain sees the pain. It is one of those that you just take it daily to maintain a level. There is absolutely no buzz with this, sometimes that is too bad lol, but it does help. the bottom line is your stuck with this thing and you have to find ways to deal with it, it isn't going anywhere. Ask the doc about it. There really isn't much you can do for the pain besides taking illegal drugs or the ones prescribed to you. I'd advise to try smoking some really really dank weed, like a body high drug and it will ease your mind off of the pain. Just don't rely on it, cause the world has that illegal, even though alchohol is much worse, it pays tax so americans love it I was actually doing some checking on this for myself, earlier today. I wanted to link this for you: http://www.alive.com/3549a5a2.php?subjec... I know it goes without saying, but, make sure you get with your parent(s)/doctor(s) before taking anything OTC. I was diagnosed with this in my 20s, good luck to you. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You might ask your doc about taking glucosomine pills and MSM. They are in the drug store with the vitamins. Heat helps. They make these slippers and also gloves that have heat, you stick them in the microwave. Its helped me a lot. If you were a little bit older and lived in California you could use medical marijuana ... Man I live in a great state.... minus the YES ON 8 Crap ..... |
