Osteoarthritis https://www.carenity.co.uk/forum/muscles-skeleton-joints/living-with-diseases-affecting-muscles-joints/osteoarthritus-1028Hi. I have osteoarthritis in knee hip lower back .... basically wherever there's a joint I have it.
I've used " devils claw " a health/herbal gel from the health shop. It helped to relieve my pain. Basically I applied it every couple of hours. My uncle (85yrs young) recommended it to me.
Maybe worth a go?

Hi bopper
I'm concerned about your usage of tramadol and anti depressants. Ssri's are very dangerous when mixed with tramadol. Can I ask which anti depressants you are in?

Hi,I have osteoarthritis of the neck,pain never stops,when you turn your neck it's agony,because of a heart condition can't have many painkillers,only allowed paracetamol these are not much good for pain relief.
I use naproxen i find this works quitewell with tramodol . I dont have any issues with tramodol personally its a brilliant painkiller and works for me i take 6 a day long term
I have osteoarthritis in my hips and knees and spondylitis of spine, struggle to walk use a stick, pain killers don't work very much, also have a lot of muscle pains and problems is this all connected?
