This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
This is a very complex issue and simple theories won't necessarily work.
The patient should take the indicated remedy and see whether he gets any relief.

Dear Dr. Kadwa,
Many thanks for your counsel for me to take 'indicated remedy'. Only I don't know what is indicated. Any suggestion, sir, will be most appreciated.
Am male, 67, 5'9', >76kg; oa 5 yrs progressively deteriorating, now terrible. OK at rest; walk 10 paces and God help pain in both knees, also 1' below knees (esp left) front, upper feet; hip joint much pain but more left. All pains on movement, walk, climb stairs only - fine lying down! Hardly any sleep.
been taking tiny quantities (in mg's) for sleep, relaxation, stupor; have started arnica 30c for general health one week; started glucosamine-chondroitn 1500-1200mg/day one week. been using NSAID artifen 50mg, disprin on days I must go out about but now with with diminishing relief.
getting in worse shape day-by-day; son still at university. Must make a living. very worried. Much worse due to excessive exertion during very beloved only daughter's marriage a month back and in the wake of severe distress at her departure.
Pl reply help in God's name; keep me in your prayers - and earn the prayers of those suffering who find relief with your help.
kind regards

As I stated in my post below it is essential that you do not mix remedies as the results will be counterproductive.
I do not agree that Osteo Arthritis is a complicated problem to resolve as reference to the therapy I have prescribed to many patients on this forum and the others that I visit will prove otherwise.

Dear Dr. De Livera,
I must acknowledge that after taking 4 wd of arg.met 6c and 3 hypericum 200c with a few wd of arnica 30c thrown in, my pain is much better. 'first time in years i have been without NSAIDs for as long as 60 hours, though i am carrying them in my pocket.
My osteoarthritic pain is considerably reduced; its acuteness is gone.
that said i ought to share with you that i have no strength in my knee and hip joints. i must walk with camel like gate take a step and throw weight on it, straighten up and go for the next step, lurch forward and on and on. some pain in left hip joint. But overall, there is much relief.
Thanks very much Dr. De Livera. God bless you. I WILL GET BACK HERE WITH MORE UPDATES. HOPEFULLY, I.E....IF STILL ALIVE AND ACTIVE!!!

Dr. De Livera,
I must add that i have some tight swelling in upper feet, esp right foot, something i do not remember ever happened to me. Also i have been a little careless with arnica 30c: is she taking her revenge?
should i continue with wd of arg met 6c alternated with hypericum perforatum 200c, as well as arnica 30c?

It is just 2 days since you started on my therapy on and I am indeed very glad to note that you have experienced some positive response to my 'Joepathy' already after all the agony you suffered for the last 5 years. If you had contacted the ABC a year ago and I had taken your case you would not be in your present predicament today.
I note that you have been totally dependent on NSAID drugs during all these years and that you were experiencing diminishing relief from them. The only solution for you would have been to increase your dosage and the price that you would have had to pay for this temporary relief would have been great.
You must obviously be aware that all NSAID drugs have severe after effects and the standard form is to increase the dosage till the patient presents other more serious and usually fatal problems which are too painful to even consider.
You will have to let nature takes its course assisted by my Joepathy and let us hope that you will be able to walk freely again in a few weeks.
You may have to take the remedies prescribed perhaps for life, but you can rest assured that they will not cause the side effects that the NSAID's would surely have cost you.
I can prescribe a remedy for the swelling in your feet but I prefer not to do so as I fear that it can antidote the action of the present therapy you are using today.
You must continue with my therapy as prescribed without any interruption as you have already experienced the difference when you stopped Arnica.
Always remember that the remedies I have prescribed for you all in the Wet dose are absolutely safe to be used on a long term daily basis.

Dear Dr. De Livera,
With due respect and for the sake of honest record, i must retract on some of my observations. My pains have all returned 5 hours after i posted the above reply. Although i have still not fished in my pocket for the NSAIDs, this is sheer obstinacy and at the peril of intense pain. Please, Sir, do not take offence: i am putting down my experience as honestly as possible - for your as well as for anyone else on the Forum who might be suffering in a similar way's information.
In any event, i am continuing with wd of arg.met 6c, of hypericum 200c and arnica 30c. Maybe continued use will produce firmer results. But for now, i think i must take in an aspirin pill. i must aim at reducing the use of NSAIDs and other analgesics like alkalloids in the latex of papaver somniferum..a sure feel-good of God!

Isu,
It would not have been a surprise if the relief from pain continued but your case is chronic and over 5 years old in the agony that you suffered.
Continue with the remedies I have prescribed and also change the dosage of Arg Met from the Wet dose which may be too dilute to the standard pellets which you can get from the same vendor. This change can hopefully make the difference and you will take 4 pellets sublingually.
Continue with the Hypericum 200 in the Wet dose and you can take it every 3-4 hours as it deadens the pain according to patients who use it in about 10 minutes after the first dose.
If you can get Diclofenac Sodium tablets like Voltaren in your country you can take one 50mg tablet to ease the pain. Please note that you will only take it after a meal and not over 2 tablets daily.
Rest is essential for your knees of which the bone of your Femur is grating on the bone of your Tibia as your cartilage seems to have worn out. The Arg Met helps to rebuild the cartilage but in chronic cases where the cartilage is non existent I regret to inform you that it cannot help as there is no cartilage left to rebuild.
If you can get Opium you can use it too but I feel that the Diclofenac Sodium may be more powerful as it has an analgesic effect coupled to an anti inflammatory effect which can reduce your pain significantly.
