A question about Arthritis ?
My mom has been complaining of having bouts of arthritis, and she has been taking 1000mg of Glucosamine daily but she still feels that it is not enough.She keeps complaining about the pain in the entire body.
She walks daily for 5-10 minutes ( slow walks).
Her back aches and she has to take Panadol once or twicea and apply Ammeltz Yoko Yoko (a Menthol and a Eucalyptus balm) on her knees everyday to alleviate the pain, even if its temporary relief.
Incidently, 4 years ago she was knocked down by a motorcycle and ever since, she has always got pain in the shin bone. But the doctor’s X/ray reveal there is no fracture whatsoever.
Her side of the family ( mother, grandmother) all suffer from arthritis at old age.
She has diabetes and High blood pressure as well.
What are some of the things or remedies that can cure the Arthritis condition and make the pain go away ?

In addition to glucosamine she can try smething called condrotin (an example only) to see if that helps some of the pain.
However, I would recommend that she consult with an arthritis specialist called a rheumatologist to see what they say.
