I have Psoriatic Arthritis, I've tried them, didn't do much. The 12-16 ibuprofen I used to eat a day helped the most, but super bad for your body..I've recently tried to limit my gluten intake which for me was not easy and I'm not 100% gluten free maybe about 75%..Try going gluten free for a few days and see if that helps..My DR put me on Cosentyx, gave me a month of injections to do, but my health insurance doesn't want to pay to continue it (it's almost 7k a shot and I give myself 2 a week) but that was fucking amazing, first time I've been pain free in a decade.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I tried them when I had my neck/shoulder/arm issues a couple years ago, but they didn't do much for me (for the pain anyway). I ended up being put on Gabapentin (sp?) which did wonders for me. I know that's not exactly a fair comparison to arthritis, but the pain I was in absolutely sucked .. and the attempt at gummies or the CBD oil didn't do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I tried them also, did absolutely nothing except cost me lots of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted December 2, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted December 2, 2023 I was buying a thc and cbd infused balm for my hands, the pain made it hard to get to sleep but didn't bother me so much during the day. It worked ok but the shit was $70 for a small container. Been using voltaren or its generic equivalent for a while now and that seems to work well.

hayward Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Been using oxaprozin (daypro). as needed. Usually 600 mg every 3rd day. What a difference. It'll likely kill me prematurely someday, but fuck it, I ain't living in pain. Arthritis sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayward Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 4 minutes ago, The One said: Nothing yet but if this keeps up I am going to get it checked out I had a rheumatologist tell me to find another occupation, without prescribing anything to help me. Got a kick-ass family doctor here in town that really cares, and he gave me this daypro to "take as needed only". Fuck'n A what a difference. That rheumatologist bitch can go pound sand.

I did, and I've done permanent damage that can only be fixed by surgeries on multiple joints..But what I have is a bit different than normal arthritis. My immune system attacks my joints and causes it.. Do you have any skin issues like eczema? I was diagnosed wrong with eczema years ago when it was actually psoriatic arthritis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 You don’t hear much about all the reports of the miraculous healing powers of THC anymore. Since they legalized here the medicine argument has kind of disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
