Re: Arthritis - Help please
Thanks Og for the hugs but I just wondered if there was someone out there who had managed their pain and could give advice.Re: Arthritis - Help please
I know what you're going through CC, . . my wife went through the same, . . she was overweight too but they eventually replaced her knee, . . it depends what age you are as surgeons don't like replacing knees before you're over 60, . . something to do with tissues etc, . . the OP is well worth while and if you think you're being fobbed off because of your weight get another opinion, . . . my wife's never looked back since her OP 4 years ago.Re: Arthritis - Help please
oooh ouch, you have my sympathy Cookiecate.Re: Arthritis - Help please
You can buy Co-codomol 8/500mg for mild pain over the Chemist counter but you will need a doctor's prescription for Co-codomol 30/500mg tablets for severe pain. I find the 30/500mg dosage very effective when I have bouts of severe back pain.Re: Arthritis - Help please
Hugs from me too CC.Re: Arthritis - Help please
I knew that if I turned to you lovely lot that I would get some ideas on how to manage this pain.Re: Arthritis - Help please

CC, so sorry you're having so much pain, (((hugs))). My arthritis is under control with OTC supplements so can't offer any advice about pain killers. Although I have found that Celadin cream when rubbed in vigorously when I have a rare flareup does help with the pain .....
