Garlic, tumeric are supposed to help grandpa swore by white raisin soaked in gin. I've heard about the raisins and gin concoctions and people swear by it.

Before you take any medicine take D3, K2, and magnesium.
I took 5000 iu of D3, 200mcg of K2 and 600 mg of Magnesium Citrate daily.
I couldn't walk because of hip pain and after 2 weeks pain gone.

MSM, vet suggested it for my old dog. I started using it the glucosamine. It does not stop the arthritis but sure stops the aches it used to give me.

Just turned 70 this month - worked/ and played with my hands all my life. Had mild stiffness and pain last few years in my hands - but nothing bad. Did have a hip replacement 2 years ago so I was aware of joint problems. Had a flare up 8 weeks ago - hands swollen so much couldn't make a fist - wrist so weak couldn't take any pressure and my thumbs were complete useless. Went to the doctor and had multiple blood test done - ended up with going on Prednisone to control the swelling with good results - started at 40 mg a day tapered to 30 - then 20, then 10 and down to 5 mg. Got to last 4 days of 5 mg and the swelling started coming back so doctor wanted to do a straight 20 mg a day till I can get to the specialist. Haven't seen anyone on the forum here taking Prednisone? Is there anyone taking this? It's a nasty drug and only treats the effects and not the cause. I want to get off it as soon as possible before it does more harm than good. Specialist booked solid with appointments so I'm waiting. Anyone care to share their experience with prednisone?

Turmeric and Cinnamon are both anti-inflammatory. I add it to my Coffee daily .
Real-time pain reliever is a great topical pain reliever.
As a result of 25 years in a Body Shop and 20 years pulling levers on Caterpillars my hands and wrists paid the toll.

My blood work isn't the best. Doc wanted me to drop to one arthritis pill a day instead of 2.
Real thc gummies are amazing.

My hands are feeling great today. I worked bees yesterday. I posted this before, my grandfather would have me get bees in a jar and let them sting him in the hands/fingers. Worked for him.

What is your pill doing to your blood to alarm the Dr? What kind of drug are you taking? Never have tried the THC gummies. What do they relieve? Pain I would say is what the THC gummies help with. You can give it to young children and they hit their heads and laugh instead of cry. Yup, Turn them into DOPES at an early age. Doped up kids must be easier to baby sit.

My rheumatologist claims I have rheumatoid arthritis , prescribed Methotrexate which didn't help and gave me some bad side affects, I asked about Hydroxychloroquine but he claimed it wasn't strong enough, wanted to put me on one of the new infusion drugs, major side effect is cancer ! Haven't been back since.... Even if the hydroxy wasn't perfect it might have relieved some of the arthritis which would be better then cancer... I'd suggest that you might want to find another Dr., Try the hydroxychloroquine, it's cheap. That's probably why they don't want to let you try it, plus, if it works, they won't be seeing much of you in the future, which means less invoices to your insurance provider.
