I was diganosed with OA 3yrs ago. I am going to a specialest and on all kinds of medication. I was just wondering if anyone out there had any home remidies they used to help deal with the pain. I am still working full time but barely. I am only 32yrs old and am not ready for retirement yet. can someone please help me.

There is an active Arthritis Board here and I hope you will place your post there and probably get answers from others dealing with serious arthritis ailments. I know there are some with OA there too. Good luck.

an I'm 71. Have had many forms for many years. I won't go the major drug route. I've gotten along with a lot of OA supps and the most help in the recent year is MSM powder and some people takes caps. But I'm taking pretty high doses.

My stuff has progressed and I'm thinking joint replacements. Not what I want to do, but may have to.

I take 2 to 4 aspirin per day for my pain with food in my stomach. Works so far.

I took a drug anti-inflammatory many years ago and ended up in the ER with a stomach ulcer. So caution with the meds; the side effects can be worse than the condition.

Stay away from as much sugar and carbs as you can. They make things worse.
