Arthritis (sp)

[Stinger124]

I have a question for anyone who might be able to help..

My mom is 64 yrs old and has arthritis, It really hurts her bad in the mornings, she was even sitting on the porch the other morning crying becuse it hurts so bad.
She is currently taking Flexamin for it and it does help. When she has it.
The question I have is... Is there anything that is an over the counter item that anyone has had success with ?

Thanks for your help.

Is your mother willing to take injections? Enbrel and Humira are two injectibles that are used to ease pain in dealing with rheumotoid arthritis.

Do a google search on them and check it out.

Thanks for the info.. Will look into it. Probably a dumb question, but does she need to ask the Dr, for the stuff ?
