My mother is having a lot of pain in her wrists
and hands. What are your treatments for relief. I
am going to try Blue Emu cream for her. Anybody
ever tried it or Blue Stuff. Thanks
 

My wife tried Blue Emu a few years ago, said it helped a little. She is now taking Flex-a-Min triple strength. Expensive but it is helping her. It cost about $40.00 for 180 pills at Wallgreens. Takes 2 pills a day.
 
This is a folk remedy that my dad used. I have not tried it myself, but he swore by it. Take a bottle of certo, the fruit pectin stuff used to thicked juice to make jelly. Pour it into a bottle of grape juice. Drink this mixture 4 onces morning and night. He said it made his joints loose again.
 
Get it diagnosed osteo vs rheumatoid. If RA there are meds that stop the progression. Existing damage cannot be repaired. My wife has RA and I would not wish it on my worse enemy. She went from having osteo in her knees to being extremely debilitated with RA in 6 to 9 months do not play with this. If it is osteo that is a slower progression and many of the treatments will help. It kills me to hear my wife cry in her sleep just moving and that is with two fentanyl patches and hydrocodone pain pills as needed.
 
PS Thank God for prescription insurance, the Embril injections she takes would be $2300.00 a month.
 
The Certo/pectin in grape juice has been around for a long time, and many people have said it helps, sometimes a little and sometimes a great deal, and if it's a placebo effect, who cares, as long as it helps.
For anyone taking a prescription medication, get the insert; this's not the "handout" that generally comes with the medication, which kinda hits the high spots on side effects and contraindications, but the pharmaceutical co's advice to the pharmacist--lots of mice-print stuff to wade through, much of it Greek without a medical background, but full of necessary info under headings like "warnings", "contraindications", "adverse reactions", sometimes even "side effects", etc.
While sometimes only 1-2% of the test group had an adverse reaction, you can't tell if you're in that 1-2% if you don't know the adverse reaction has been reported, but minimized/omitted from the "handout".
 
I know a lady who gets Remicade infusions and it helps her tremendously. Remicade is a Chemotherapy drug, but they discovered a side benefit in treating Rheumatoid arthritis. It too, is very expensive.
 
The wife wears a magnetic bracelet on her wristfor the arthritis, some wear them on their ankles. She says it helps. Her uncle wore a copper bracelet on his wrist and swore by it.
 
I have had osteo arthritis for many years due to taking (so its said by other doctors) lots of steroids for crones disease. I Now have 2 metal knees and 2 metal shoulders. For years I took the latest drugs (last one was nnalert) and now that I have a lot of RA I take only Ibruprofen. 1000 MG tablets and I do better that any other thing. Beats nnalert for me. My mother was in a heel chair with RA for years and some old guy showed up at the door (1942) with a large package of dried thistles . Told her to put some in the bath each time she bathed which she did out of deparation. Within 3 weeks she was out of the WC and walking again,. Never knew who the old guy was, where he came from and he would not accept a penny. BUT IT WORKED. NUff said Henry
