Osteoarthritis medications pain
Common Questions and Answers about Osteoarthritis medications pain
osteoarthritis
morning stiffness, discomfort and pain in the joints. You did not mention your age but this is a common complaint after 40. That is something you can discuss with you doctor after his vacation. In the meantime, try adding an NSAID such as Motrin (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxen) to your regiment as long as you are not allergic and have no contraindications. I hope this will help and do discuss this with your doctor; but as I said before, I don't think those three meds are to blame.
I also took Darvocet and there is nothing else for my pain except the real strong stuff and I am trying to hold off as long as I can before I would take those, I have osteoarthritis in my joints, I need a hip replacement and I have osteoarthritis in my back also, I dont know what to take for pain.
Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and this is my first question. I have been taking Celebrex (200 mg a day) for about five years for bone on bone knee osteoarthritis. It has worked well for controlling my pain (not perfect but pretty good). I also get some lower back pain (combination of osteoarthritis and nerve stuff) that only happens when I over-do (like trying to garden, etc.). I typically need a day or two of Vicodin for that as the Celebrex does not seem to work for that.

You could take some over the counter pain releif medications and apply some pain releif gels or creams to see if it helps with your symptoms.

m not sure Cymbalta or Lyrica would help with osteoarthritis pain - it seems to work more on nerve type pain, however, it would be worth asking your doctor about.
Have you ever asked your doctor about an anti-inflammatory such as Celebrex? You may find that type of medication would work better for the arthritis and it is non-narcotic.
I, too, have severe arthritis, so I can relate to the pain you're experiencing. I hope you and your doctor can find something soon that helps.
Hi Poppy,
Welcome to MedHelp's Pain Management Forum. I am sorry to hear the pain you are experiencing during the night. How long has this been going on?
Did you have an injury? Have you consulted your PCP? There are multiple conditions that can cause the pain you describe. Can you provide more details?
Sometimes if we are overly active in the day we can experience leg pain. Have you increased your activity lately? Do you have any swelling in the extremity? Is it warm to touch?
I have pain in the right knee for two years now. X-rays show lack of fluid in the knee. Thus giving lot of pain. I have tried all sorts of therapies, but to no effect. I am now thinking of either get a shot or replace the knees. The left knee is also on the brink. I have to use pain killers. Please advise about taking a shot if I should take a shot of Synvisc-One.

Anti-inflammatory medications may help relieve pain and swelling. You could take some over the counter pain releif medications and apply some pain releif gels or creams to see if it helps with your symptoms.

) Soon after all shoulders, elbows, knees, fingers, and toes, swelled and in pain. Blood tests with doctor, revealed nothing, except high level (inflamitory qoutient?). Fingers and toes still in severe pain. Taking a course of Prdnisone, w/ Percocet. Does anyone have an idea of what this might be? Also came up negative on R.A. & Lupis tests. Thanks for any input.
‘Line of weight bearing falling anterior to the sacral promontory’ would indicate an abnormal spinal curvature which could be the cause or the result of osteoarthritis. Some degree of osteoarthritis is expected with age which can worsen post-menopause, being overweight, improper posture, lack of physical exercise/ muscle strength, chronic trauma, diabetes etc., which causes degeneration of the joint and associated inflammation that causes pain. The acute injury is unlikely to be related to it.
Although fibromyalgia usually presents with chronic widespread pain, pain may also be localized in areas such as the shoulders, neck, low back, hips, or other areas.
The cause of fibromyalgia is often hereditary or due to a physical or emotional trauma or due to lingering infection in the body such as due to mono. The treatment is a mix and match of analgesics, anti depressants, anti seizure medications, physical therapy and counseling.
Sometimes NSAIDs help, but sometimes I have to take a mild narcotic.
Also, I would recommend seeing a pain management doctor. My father has osteoarthritis and he gets relief from Aleve and applied heat.
I hope you find something that helps you.
) and physical therapy- The pills take the edge off the pain and the therapy will (hopefully) help strenghten the muscles around my joints. Good luck!
I have osteoarthritis in my neck moderate and mild in lower back. Can and adjusment help? will they even do an adjustment me? i seem to be losing sensativity in my legs but dont know if iy du to oa in back nad neck.any help would be great. thank you.
I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?
The treatment of osteoarthritis includes exercise, medications and measures to protect the joints. This includes a teamwork of rheumatologist, physical therapist and orthopedic surgeon. Please consult an orthopaedic surgeon and rheumatologist for treatment and continue the physiotherapy at the same time for the relief of the symptoms. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
