I know there is a few of us that have athritis. Since loosing weight the worst thing that sets mine of is the damp. Today its got worse throughout the day and now im having a job to walk. Its painful and stiff(knee)

I use the electric blanket in bed. But what is the best way to keep damp out of your joints.

Maybe just maybe i might get one sensible answer lol

Try getting a dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air in your bedroom then you are more likely to wake up not aching.

was told by a physio that 1500 mg's of glucosamine is about right per day, combined with cod liver oil.

was told it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to have an affect

I suffer from the same problem, not only in my knees, but also in my fingers too.

However, my GP prescribed me Arthrotec, a mix of Diclofenac & Misoprosol, at 2 tablets a day, but I found one a day is quite sufficient. It helps too.

A protective aid for my hands, especially in the colder days is wearing thin windproof cycling gloves; they are thin enough for wearing outdoors, but they do the trick.

For my knees, I also find that vibrating heat massager units available when used prior to going to bed each night, work wonders for me.

have very slight arthritis in my knee and was informed by my physio that building muscle is the only way to alleviate the pain as you need to support the bones with the muscle.

I walk everywhere now and have not had pain from it in over 7 years now. Then again he did say it was only slight.

I was told the same thing by my specialist. I was given some exercises to do which would strengthen the muscles in my legs, as I have arthritis in the knees, and they did help. However I've also found fish oils and olive oil, in cooking, has also helped.

When all else has failed I usually manage my knees by keeping them warm, whenever possible, and alternating between Ibuprofen, co-codamol, and solpadol. Never totally gets rid of the pain but it helps a bundle.

hi diamondsmiles, i dont know if this would help with athritis, its a capsule the doc gave me a couple of years ago, but its for circulation problems and might help as it keeps valves open that your blood has to pass through, it may help you by keeping the blood flowing to and around the joints with athritis,,,,,, its called nifedipine i got it in 10mg capsules, to fix me out i had to take 6 a day, the winter cold nor the cold water tap give me grief now,,,
