Joint Pain

[loulou111]

I have bad joint pain in my shoulders knees elbows and hips. Any suggestions what to use for it?

The most likely cause of your pain (particularly if you've reached 'a certain age') is osteoarthritis but there are other possible causes, so it's important to consult a GP in order to eliminate them:

Assuming that it is osteoarthritis though, the links here might help:

(See 'Exercises' and 'Therapies', down the left, as well as the main block of links).

Yes, might I suggest ibuprofen 400mgms when necessary.

400! You're going soft, Sqad. :-)

[Sqad]

LOL......I know! I know! But in the UK you can't get the 600 mgm tablet.........but you are correct.......I am going soft in my old age.
