Looken for others who have gout from mild to severe, also arthritis in knees. Seeing what meds u take or treatments u do to deal with the medical issues. I see alot of people talking about different kinds of arthritis in knees, not sure what kinds i got, doc just said i have it. I have also been experiencing pain and swelling at times in my elbows, and few times, in wrist. Wondering if that from arthiritis.Well if any one has and adivise or help let me know thanks.
Sorry, I don't get to the arthritis board much. I have had arthritis throughout my body since age 20, and I'm 51 now. There are more than 60 'kins' of osteoarthritis, and then there's rheumatoid arthritis. (If you had the rheumatoid kind, thed've have told you.)
Are you pre- or post-op from WLS? What form of WLS did.will you be having? That's a very important question, because after the RNY you can no longer take NSAIDs, and that's one reason I chose the DS instead.
I take two Aleve twice a day, every day. I *need* to maintain a level of anti-inflammatory in my body at all times. I also use Lidocaine patches, for excess pain in specific areas---mostly my knees and hips.
Heat, especially a heating pad or soaking in ho****er, gives me a lot of relief, too.
