FOR ARTHRITIS IN A 96 YRS OLD GAL–Is it okay to take 200mg of Celebrex in the evening with 500mg of Tylenol during the day? Is Aleve more effective? Any other helpful suggestions for extremely painful hand arthritis?

What is the best pain relief for arthritis in your facet joints. I have tried ibuprofen, tylenol,aleve,aspirin and Ultram. Not much help from any of them. Any suggestions other than narcotics ?

I’ve been taking ginkgo biloba for memory for about two weeks and I noticed something strange. I have rheaumatoid arthritis and my pain is almost gone. Even aleve didn’t help me before. Is there a connection here?

Aleve seems to be the only thing that relieves osteoarthritis pain from running. Glucosamine doesn’t work. But is it OK to take an Aleve every day or does it have harmful effects over time?

I have been in constant pain for 5 days – in my knees going down to my toes. I can barely and am worn out. I've tried aspirin, aspercreme and aleve – nothing works.

My husband shattered his ankle about 10 years ago and now has arthritis in it. It hurts him so much especially after walking on it for a long period of time. We've tried Aleve, Advil & Tylenol Arthritis but nothing seems to really help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I injured the knee in 8th grade (I'm 31 now). It keeps fluid on it and the arthritis that has set up in it is just gradually getting worse. It has taken to trying to pop out of place lately too. When it pops it is usually pretty loud and then I have to kind of stand there for a few seconds and move it gently to get it comfortable to walk on again. I use a cold rice pack and Tylenol Arthritis. That's all I have. Is there anything else I can do for it?
I can't take Ibuprofen, Aleve, Excedrin or really anything other than Tyenol (acetaminophen) Can't even use Aspercream.
Also, I have seen a doctor for it. He said the arthritis is bad for my age but didn't prescribe either drugs or therapy.

I'm 26 and I just found out that I have Osteoarthritis and Scoliosis in my lower back. What exactly does this mean for me? My doctor was kind of vague with me with this diagnosis. I have a LOT of lower back pain and it hurts all the time and I don't know what to do. My doctor recommended physical therapy, but my work's health insurance doesn't cover it. I have tried Aleve, but it doesn't phase it.
