I've taken that. Nothing.
Taken Hydromorphone (from my surgery) and that don't do anything either.
Had some Prednisone left over, and that does very little.

Small doses of concentrated cannabis oil (ie 0.1 - 0.3g) taken sublingually cures osteoarthritis without the psychedelic effect.
Smoked cannabis also relieves arthritis, but only while your high and with the associated risk of inhaling combusted particulate matter.
The 'pill for everything' mentality is IMO largely responsible for the opioid pain pill epidemic in Murica..

Any dose at all is an overdose. Sad, but true. Pain is information and the problem is that finding out the cause and working toward a solution is a lot more work than covering up the information.

Uh, sorry about the MS, hope it gets better.
Yes, maybe I should retest to see if I got Rheumatoid Arthritis.....
I'm going to get Acupuncture done, that was the ONLY thing that helped with Sciatica 8 years ago.
My testing showed it was nearly 200% of the high mark, but suspect I had the precursors for up to 3-4 years prior to the test. I was a wreck until receiving proper treatment.
I concur with the suggested for fish/cod liver oil (capsules), bromelin, and would add turmeric to that cocktail. I take that all mostly daily and am able to control all symptoms with minimal use of medications despite having a vicious, well-developed immune system...

No, it doesn't. Neither does alcohol. I love this new age troll [censored]. Anti-inflammatories are the only thing that really helps, such as DMARDS, not cannabis. I am not anti-pot and think it should be decriminalized and even prescribed. But your silly comments are pretty much an insult to people that have had potentially joint-mutilating diseases...

I'd love to see comparative statistics to back any of that up that we're any worse than anywhere else as far as prescription drug abuse.

I read a comparison chart between aspirin, ibuprofen and Alleve. Alleve is superior for arthritis discomfort

Do you have arthritis? Have you tried cannabis?

These links correlate with e experience of my grandmother whose OA is debilitating to e point of making her immobile. Whole, juiced plants in a 'smoothie' format allow her to walk without sticks, knit, tie shoelaces, cook, drive and live a normal life.
just an observation is all, not trying to start an argument..

The human body is meant to move and work and without that your immune system can't keep up.
I might be actually surviving a very deadly cancer and I attribute much of it to a very tough regiment of physical activity and a very strict diet along with good medical care.
The problem is that the healthcare system is far too easy on patients and puts too much reliance on a drugs only approach. Just last month I was asked to take a stress test on a stair climber. Their goal for me was 30 floors in 15 minutes but to continue until I felt I'd done enough. I did 436 floor in 3 hours with an indicated 1722 calories burned. I'm in a new program allowed by the FDA because the prognosis for my cancer was grim to say the least. So far everyone that has dropped out of the diet and exercise part of the program but continued with the drugs and other treatment have died. I've been told that this treatment plan will not receive wide acceptance because of the requirements for activity and diet. I believe that the human body can do wonderful things but not without the help of activity and good food and some carefully chosen supplements. And remember, supplements alone won't carry the day.
+1 I was starting to feel old beyond my years in my mid 30's due to not enough exercise. Also I found giving up wheat, which means giving up essentially all low nutrition processed food really helped too. I used to have an achy back and hips so that I woke up several times a night to switch sides and couldn't sleep on my back for more than an hour or two.
Now I feel much better with only a moderate increase in regular exercise and lost most of my joint pain too.
I'm pretty sure wheat was causing inflammation in many parts of my body, joints, and GI tract too. Maybe play with your diet and see if avoiding anything helps your symptoms?

Maybe it was just too many empty carbs. More whole grains, no sugar (including things like cake and pies..these are poison)

Hydrocodone 10/350. Also have to remember my limits when it comes to doing things. When it starts to hurt, I force myself to slow down. For me, that's the hardest part

I know how urgent it can feel to need to take the edge off pain, and morphine/opium etc certainly works as pain relief in the short term but it's essentially repackaging junkie for a different demographic. Try and find something less damaging dude

Trust me, it's taken very conservatively. I don't like it but at that point where nothing else works much.

Pain from old age / normal wear and tare on body ... isn't that normal ?
