my mom has had rheumatoid arthritis for about 9 years now, and she had a knee replacement about 6 years ago… lately her arthritis has been causing her a lot of pain that she loses sleep over… medications that her doc gives her do not help. Are there any natural remedies or vitamins she can take to help ease the pain?

I’m 26 years old and haven’t lifted heavy for 3 years. I started lifting when I was 14 and at 20 began to do more cardio and lighter weights (reps of 12 to 14). between 20 and 23 I shuffled around from light to heavy with cardio. 23 to 26 I did more cardio and liftid light. Now it’s been 2 months since I started lifting heavy (8 to 10 reps) split routine and my joints have been aching. Sometimes it’s my elbows then my knees. Sometimes my lower and mid back start hurting and feel heavy at times. I feel like I’m too young to experience this but I have been lifting weights for a while and also worked alot of physically demanding jobs. I do sleep my 8 hours a night, take my supplements, and eat properly. Am I doing something wrong?

My mom suffers from severe arthritis from her hands all the way to her elbows, she can’t sleep comfortably. Is there a way to relieve these symptoms so that she can get a good nights sleep??
Maybe a heated sleeve??

I took my cat to the Vet today. I thought he was poisoned but his blood test results were normal. The Vet said my cat has arthritis in the hips. My cat can’t even stand on his hind legs. It seems like out of the BLUE our cat can’t function. I’ve never had that happen to me with any of my cats. He has been sleeping and laying around all day and all yesterday. The vet gave him a steriod shot that might help his muscles and help him get back on his feet. I just don’t want our cat to suffer. Right now he seems okay relaxing, chilling out but he can’t even walk by himself. His hind legs seem useless. Is this the end? Do you think we need to put our 8 yr old cat to sleep? Does anyone know? I need some advice. It’s really sad right now to think of loosing our beloved cat!
Okay this is what I don’t understand: if our vet says our cat has arthritis, why can’t he use his back hind legs? Seriously, I mean really. I am so confused right now. I guess I’m in denial right now. If our cat can’t function, how is he going to go the bathroom? I can feed him and give him liquids but at some point you would think he needs to release himself(bathroom break) . Do we need to buy diapers? If it gets to that point is it time to put our cat to sleep. I think it’s wrong to make a cat suffer. Right this moment he’s not suffering but I don’t even want him to feel any pain. I’m so torn. My children and I have been crying on and off all day. I’m just trying to get some answers so I can make the right decision. I need to make the best decision for our cat! He’s our MAN. He’s truly the best cat. As I look into his eyes it’s like he’s telling me "Time is running out". Is it time to let him go into the light? It’s just so hard and so sad! Thanks for all your advice. It’s helpful.

The father has actually made threats and is always calling social workers. And nothing is found wrong. My son has told me that his father takes baths with him and he is seven. My 5 yr old daughter has told me that the father let her sleep in a shed with her uncle. How do i get this taken care of?

I am 21 years old and am always so tired. I sleep in on my 2 days off for 11 hours and get 8 hours of sleep 5 nights a week. I have been having really bad pain in my legs when there is a change in weather, usually when it is humid, cold, and rainy outside. I am so sick of feeling this way and never use to be like this. What’s wrong with me? Thanks for listening.

My mom is 53 and has swelling on the medial side of her knee, right below the knee cap. It has caused her pain since October, sometimes so bad that she can’t sleep at night. The doctor couldn’t even tell her what’s wrong. Any bright ideas?
no she does not have vericose veins.

After both times of visiting a friend in a newly constructed home I got these symptoms. They were so bad I considered the ER. After benedryl and sleep I was fine. It has only happened these two times. Is it an allergic reaction?

I am taking Bupropion Sr 150 mg twice a day. I was wondering when and if the side effects go away. I have insomnia, anxiety, carb cravings and now joint pain. The itching went away! I am thinking that after 3 weeks I should gradually be feeling better. I have to take Ambien CR to sleep even a little. Pretty down in the dumps yet too! Oh, I wanted this to work so bad!

I hear arthritis is one of the main reasons dogs are put to sleep, what can i do to stop my dog from getting it?

Not ligament pain… I mean your actual hip joints. Mine hurt SO bad sometimes. Especially when I sleep on one side for too long. Any suggestions how to ease that pain?

I have a 9 year old Rottweiler (named Belle) who is having some trouble with arthritis. She is becoming more stiff as the nights get colder, I’m doing what I can for her. I let her sleep on my bed, and on the couch when she’s in the living room. I am also giving her Bayer Asprin (I asked my vet about the appropriate dose), but she is still limping a bit through out the day. Is there anything else I can do the ease her arhritis pain without having to put her on a perscription medication?

I adopted a 13 year old dog from the pound (they were about to put her to sleep) and she has mild arthritis. I give her soft pillows to lie on and let her be on the couch but she still seems to move stiffly and lies around a lot. Is there any special food I can give her or anything? I have never had an old dog before.

I had a serious wreck 10yrs ago and fractured my hip in several places and had to have major surgery. The doctor told me that I would be more suceptable to arthritis. I am now 32 and have been having for the last few yrs or so pain in my arms and legs but only at night when I am trying to sleep. Could this be the onset of arthritis? What are the signs? Thanks!
