I have suffered with joint pain for many many many years. This week my joints have been very sore. I have been using ibuprofen, and tylenol arthiritis. Nothing is working. Any ideas will help.

If you have been using ibuprofen and tylenol for a long time you may have built up a tolerance. Try switch to Aleve and see if that helps. My doctor also recommend an herb called fever few to reduce inflamation.

Trista, after i got out of hospital last year, i developed very bad joint pain, so bad in fact, that i couldnt walk or have a bath myself. i tried everything for pain relief, but then my doctor gave me Chloroquine. the pain went after afew days and i have never had it since. im not sure why i was given this, because it is used to treat maleria, but it worked for me.

I was using ibuprofen for years, which helped but not enough.
I fractured my wrist last year and since, the arthritis has settled there too - that doctor suggested <u>Mobic </u>instead of the ibu's. I can tell you that I don't have the pain in my fingers anymore. I started on one a day, but increased it to twice a day - which has worked better. Also,the pain and stiffness in my neck, back and shoulders is much more in control too.

...just another option to consider...

What is MOBIC? Prescription? Aspirin based?

sorry about that...

Mobic (generic meloxicam) is a prescription anti inflamatory. It is in the NSAID class of drugs. This drug blocks the enzymes that make prostaglandins (the chemicals that contribute to inflammation), and reduces these levels. It's used to treat BOTH types of arthritis. It was approved for use in April 2000. (info via Medicinenet.com)

I was taking 200-600 mgs of ibu's once to twice a day.
Now I'm on 7.5 mgs of mobic, twice a day, and it's working better.

It may not be for everyone, but it's worked well in controlling my arthritis <img src="">
