with long term results?

😣 I went to the doctor the other day with severe pain, and hardly able to walk due to an old injury, with hopes that they would say something along the lines of draining fluid from the area, and/or a brace, and/or some physical therapy etc.
Instead, (after an MRI) I was given the choices of cortisone shots (who knows how often or for how long) or surgery ( and due to weight requirements, and more so my own lack of aftercare/recovery support surgery is not an option for me at this time). I ended up taking a cortisone shot; which, while it has provided a lot of relief, I don't know how long it will last and certainly don't want to be taking them long term. Also, I've NEVER had an allergic reaction to anything in my life, but I did to this and that concerns me if having to take this continues long term.
I've used roll on glucosamine gel, and it's slightly helpful, but didn't last more than 2 hours ) and I certainly don't have time to stop and reapply every 2 hours).

Try drinking pomegranate juice every day for a month and see if that helps. It has tremendous anti-inflammatory properties.

Unfortunately the pain won't disappear but you can make it more manageable. Some people have found tens machines to be useful. Personally for bone/muscle pain I have found resistance bands and basic stretches beneficial.

Alternatively I know some people distract themselves from pain by using things like a rubber band on the wrist, or breathing techniques. It's important to find what works for you.

A good thing a lot of people with arthritis find helps is water aerobics or even just swimming.

Acupuncture is also beneficial for some people.

The worst thing you can do is nothing keep moving about as much as you can and maybe make small changes. Such as parking further from the store entrance each time you visit. Ibuprofen and paracetamol can be helpful in managing the pain.

All these things will help, take your choice: teas esp green & white, cod liver oil capsules, and believe it or not, lol, castor oil put on large bandages over the joints, penetrates and remedies. Check out Barbara O'Neill's research on this and many vids like this:

My husband keeps arthritis pain away with turmeric.

Moringa can also get rid of arthritis pain.

Turmeric with a little black pepper increases the effectiveness 20x.
He has always honored my prayer "pain be gone in Jesus name".
A knee brace helps me a lot to keep the worn out knee in line while I bike (stationary) and such, I was toughing it out and developed a spur, you don't want that.
I took the cortisone and waited for the insurance to approve this stuff made from the combs of roosters. This works really well.

These are pretty reasonably priced and they tend to stay up, which is a big blessing for me. The stitching is kind of cheesy, so I reinforces the stitching with E-1000 or GOOP brand, perchloroethylene flexible adhesive, and maybe some stitching.-
(having trouble getting you a picture of the braces on E-bay)
