I don't remember who it was that mentioned they took Relafen and Mobic. Relafen can cause strokes and heart attacks, and Meloxicam, which is the generic for Mobic can do the same. Just thought you all would like to know.

My doctor said I have ostioarthritis in my hips and they use to hurt all the time especially at night. My doctor perscribed Cymbalta I have taken it since 2005 it blocks pain in your brain. I sleep great and no pain! I don't usually recommend pills but it works!!!

They tend to teat the whole body
The delivered my 3 kids, and it was nice, when I was pregnant, to go for adjustments when I was pregnant. I've never gone specifically for arthritis pain, but I bet they would add the adjustments along with any meds

If taking off the bra works, good, I will try anything before I put any more pills in my system. Yesterday I had a real bad pain in shoulder and I wanted to plant my garden (it`s Hugh only got 1/3 in working from 8:A.M. till 1:P.M.) so I asked my DH if he would put a pain patch on my shoulder before I started. No Pain all day. Took only 2 hrs. off for an apointment, then tilled more garden space till 6:P.M. This morning it rained a little so I get a day off.

I am going to a cervical chiropractor and he has done wonders for my neck and shoulders. You hardly feel his adjustments and I am now living about 85% pain free as far as my neck and shoulders. I was at the point of surgery, but my Orthopedic Dr. did not want to do it because I had a heart attack on the table when I had the lower back surgery. He said he would, but he wanted me to wait as long as I could. I rarely hurt in my neck anymore. Hope this helps. PM me if you want more info.

I've had arthritis for over 35 years. I am allergic to most pain meds. Years ago I learned biofeedback to control the pain and I just keep moving. I have one of those foam pillows that is higher on one side that supports my neck at night. My mom had trouble with her neck and I got her one of those pillows and it has stopped her pain.
I, too, have more trouble in cold humidity.
