Osteoarthritis - many joints | From Climber [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-06-07 |
| 5 replies | 2568 views |
I posted another thread a while ago 'flitting arthritis' when my symptoms were vague. My GP has now diagnosed osteoarthritis. It has recently got a lot worse. My knees are pretty well constantly swollen and burning (though not especially painful yet) and recently my ankles and elbows have also become swollen and stiff. My back can become quite achy. I am beginning to feel symptoms in my wrists and sometimes in finger joints.
Blood tests show no inflammatory symptoms.
I am taking all the usual supplements - glucosamine, chondroitin, fish oil in the recommended doses though without any evident effect. I am not overweight.
I am getting concerned about where this is all going. I did not think that osteoarthritis could extend to so many joints.
Any advice greatfully received. |

If you have recently had antibiotics for a genital problem try Medorrhinum 1m.
Otherwise try Rhus Tox 30 twice a day for 5 days.
Also look at Ruta -- see if it covers the case. | | |

I shall copy my advice on this thread which has worked in many cases
You will require 2 remedies for helping with your problem.
Rhus Tox 1M and
Hypericum 200c
Both remedies should be used in the liquid dose which is made up as follows:
Get 2 500ml bottles of spring water
Pour out 50ml or 1 inch to leave space for air at the top
Put in 3 globules of each remedy into 2 separate bottles and wait a few minutes for the globules to dissolve.
Hit the bottle hard on your palm or a cushion and watch for the water to fizzle like when you open a bottle of soda. This is called succussion and should be done 6-8 times before each dose.
Sip a teaspoonful of each remedy twice daily for the first week and reduce to once daily thereafter.
Keep an hour between each remedy.
Report response in a week. | | |

Walkin and Joe
many thanks for the advice.
Is it OK to continue with other medication - glucosamine, fish oil, vitamin supplements whilsts taking the homeopathic remedies? | | |
| Re: Osteoarthritis - many joints | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-06-08 |
Glucosamine and fish oil capsules are OK but I would prefer that you do not take the vitamin supplements with the 2 remedies which you will soon see will obviate their use. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.
