It doesn't always work unfortunately. All I can suggest is pain killers but I know they just don't really work.

Turmeric definitely makes a difference to my shoulder

couple, us we him her.

Have a close look at your diet certain things are a known trigger.

Drinking plenty of water and cut down on booze.

Stress is a big factor.

Sadly arthritis is not something that just goes away.

You may need to have the knee aspirated if there's too much fluid.

Certain supplements have been known to help but always check with your GP first or consult a medical professional.

Hyaluronic acid injections apparently work well as long as you have somewhere to inject it into which I assume you have if your having cortisone injections. Not available on the NHS though.

I'd lose weight, if my occasional pain became more frequent or severe. It's not an option or appropriate for everyone but I carry a little that I don't have to and it puts extra strain lower down in my body.

Heat could also be a good reliever. I've heard of some people having great heat pads etc that may help.

Have you tried CBD oil? I know it does work for some people although it's expensive. I know as well that you'll try just about anything when you're in that much pain

If you don't like the oil, the patches are a good alternative. They've helped with my chronic pain.

Cortizone did not work for me nor did CBD oil,

Use MSM 1000mg and Turmeric 1500mg on a daily basis, if I am having a hectic day will add a low dose Ibuprofen and use a Gel called Flexiseq.

Everything starts to wear off by late afternoon and climbing the stairs to go to bed is a nightmare

Being of an advanced age does not help either.

I've just been diagnosed with it in my hands it can be very painful and distressing when I'm always dropping things. My Dr as prescribed me zapain 100mg/30mg. They seem to do the trick when it flares up.

"Have you tried swimming?"

Swimming helps my knee arthritis a lot. Twice a week seems to work, for now!
