Your Questions About Arthritis

Lizzie asks…
What pain killers are good for arthritis, but do not affect those with Kidney problems.?
My father has been taking Co-dydramol for years to help ease Arthritis. However, recently he was very ill with Chronic Acute Renal Failure, possibly due to overuse of these painkillers (Those which contain NSAIDS)I beleive ?
Obviously he still needs a pain relief, but what can he take that does not contain these NSAIDS that will not harm his Kidneys.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Sandy asks…
How can i help prevent my children from getting arthritis?
I've had what my doc calls severe arthritis since I was 15 I'm 22 now and yes it sucks having arthritis this young. But I have 2 boys and I don't want them to suffer from this especially so young. Are there ways I can help prevent it?

Artie answers:
I would talk to your own doctor if I were you, and also let me say as an older woman with arthritis, its something we tend to think '' oh well we are old now, its just one of those things', but truly I hate to hear of a young woman such as yourself having the pain of arthritis. I commend you on your concern for the boys, shows your a loving caring young mother. Talk to your doctor, even though I can suggest things that are good, I would rather you speak and ask the doctor is it ok to give you boys such and such.
Mine came on so bad a few months ago, basically all over my body, but worse was the feet, ankles, elbows, and the hands, which as you can imagine was totally debilitating fully, it was utter agony, even hurt when I was still in bed. My doctor suggested I took :-
Strong strength cod liver oil tablets once a day
and
a Syrup called Clucosamine.
He said persevere with doing this, and for 3 months, I was still in the same way, but suddenly it all started working, and now I am like a little kitten, a 60 year old playing around with her dog on the floor like a child would do. The Clucosamine syrup is pleasant to take, the cod liver oil table slips down easily, so it will not be a battle with your boys to take that, but first and foremost to get the right dosage you must talk to your doctor first. He will tell you other things too, but reckon he will highly recommend the Glucosamine. And hey take it for yourself too. What it does is replaces the fluid that cusions around the joints, and the beauty of it is, that its a natural remedy, so you are not drugging up the boys.
Good Luck to you all, and here's hoping you are feeling better yourself soon.
Best wishes
