Arthritis

[Anemone 0]

can anyone recommend an oil or medicine i can buy online or something for healing my fingers? they get stiff every morning for a week now, it's painful i cannot move them, i have to massage my fingers for them to be able to move. stiffness occurs during the morning when i wake up, or when they are just on the rest.. anyone experience this?

thank you

Glucosamine can be good for joints as can cod liver oil tablets. They can't heal arthritis but they can make moving the affected area a little less painful and might help with the swelling a little.

Cod liver oil would be a good thing to start taking daily, apparently it has been proven that it decreases the effects of arthritis quite dramatically... Might be worth a shot?

Or if you can find somewhere that sells Emu oil. My friend swears by it

A friend said she tried Tiger Balm and that seemed to help her. Not sure what it is or how to find it. I get really stiff in my knees so need to find something to loosen them up, its always tough to get going at the gym.

Celebrex is good, but you'll need a prescription for it. I'd also recommend against it if you have an allergy towards sulfa drugs. Having said that, all medications can have side-effects (some good and some bad, depending on your point-of-view), so I would discuss this with your physician and see what works best for you.
