Guest guest Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Over the last week, I have experienced severe pain in all my major joints. This started in the left ankle (last Friday night), and progressed to the left knee, and within 1 hour, was unable to move the leg. The next day, it moved to the right leg, and the wrists. Two days later it moved to the shoulders, neck and back area. The doctors have suggested it is a virus thing, or could be arthritis, but at my age, they said that I was too young to show symptoms of arthritis as severe as this. Additionally, back in December I developed a strep throat, and impetigo, which came back again in January. The doctors feel that the arthritis I am now experiencing is related to post strep arthritis. The pain is quite unbearable as all my major joints are affected. The doctors have put me on double doses of tylenol 3, which is no longer providing sufficient relief, and have now changed the medication to percocet, which is dulling the pain (almost bearable level). Is anyone aware of a herbal or non traditional remedy to deal with the condition and pain more effectively.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Give Doc a call Allan, he can help. Right now I would strongly suggest getting some epsom salts and pour them in a hot bath for you to soak in. Make the Panther Piss recipe in the files and take that everyday. Deep Tissue Repair Oil would be on the top of your list as well. What is your diet like?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 hehehe, thanks for your consideration Persian :-) I don't have a problem with mentioning my age though I am 46, and I have been showing pre-menopause symptoms for about a year now, for which I am taking the PP, and several other things. I have however run out of the Total Nutrition and need to order some more. I had no idea that such pains could be part of that?!! Thanks. love, Lisa - Persian lisabelcher Wednesday, March 19, 2003 8:06 AM Re: [herbal remedies] joint pain Hi LisaOn Wed, Mar 19, 2003 at 07:44:47AM -0000, Lisa Belcher wrote:> > Since a few weeks I am getting increasing pain in my right elbow and shoulder.

Also during my peri I had a reallysore shoulder that only hurt when I waved to someone or moved it! LOLPersian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Sounds like tendonitis Lisa. Try hot and cold therapy on the affected joints. Add some epsom salts to your bath. Try to rest the joints as much as possible. Drink plenty of clean water. Make or get some Deep Tissue Repair Oil and BF & C tincture. For cold packs I use frozen peas, blueberries or corn wrapped in a towel because they conform to the joint's shape very comfortably. For heat run hot as you can stand water in the shower on the sore joints. A heating pad is fine too. I know you don'd use a microwave, but dry rice in a muslin bag hold heat very well and also molds to shape of the body part to which it is applied. The ginger in the Total Tonic would help with the pain and inflammation if you have some around the house. I think Dr. Christopher's BF & C comes in a salve as well. *hugs* Janet - Lisa Belcher herbal_remedies Tuesday, March 18, 2003 11:44 PM [herbal remedies] joint pain Hi guys and gals, I need some help. Since a few weeks I am getting increasing pain in my right elbow and shoulder. I have not injured myself so I don't know what is causing the pain. The pain is not noticeable when elbow/shoulder are at rest, but with movement it is more painful the bigger/more forceful the movement is. It started first in my elbow about 3 weeks or so ago, and is also moving into my shoulder now, although elbow is the worst pain - elbow is also used more I guess. I have started taking Devils Claw last week, which helped me get rid of an inflamed shoulder before, and I know it took a while for it that time to actually totally get rid of the pain - at least 3 months. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening, and what else I can do to handle?
