Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Afternoon all! Had a good downpour this morning but the sun is out now and it's 22C. The predicted thunderstorms didn't come last night and our rain forecast for four days is diminishing. Think Gordon may pass us by!

 

Hi all i have been to see the doc. bout my left leg cos the pain the last 2 days has been unbearable.He said i have arthritis & my hip might need doing sometime.I have been so upset over this but am trying hard to be rational,can't seem to settle to anything.

 

hI gOGS - SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LEG, WHAT A SHOCK FOR YOU. a FRIEND OF MINE HAS JUST HAD HER HIP DONE AND ALTHOUGH STILL RECOVERING the pain is better already so if you have to have it done, it will be worth it. Little comfort probably when youre feeling low about it I know :( But we are here for youxx

 

Poor you, Gogs! My cousin had his hip done a year ago and now regrets it. In saying that, we know someone else who has had both replaced and is fine! Hopefully, it doesn't come to that and that you can get some relief for the discomfort in the meantime.

Perhaps moving to a warm, sunny climate would help? Get better soon!

 

Gogs.Sorry to hear about your Arthritis.I have been suffering with it for quite a few years,so know how you must be feeling.

When I first developed it,someone recommended African Devils Claw which is a natural Anti Inflammatory.We got some from the local Health Food shop and I started on them straight away.
Within weeks I was pain free.I find the effects last for quite a few months before it flares up again,which is usually in the winter months.

When my friend couldn't get her wedding ring off because her finger joint had swollen up so much,she had a blood test done which confirmed the condition.Her Doctor just told her to take Ibuprofen tablets.

Hope this Information helps,and I hope you start feeling better soon

 

My friend here who is a Masseure and believes in natural medicine firmly believes and uses Devil's Claw ... even on her dogs!

Also agree on the "drug" front that Ibuprofen works. You can get Brufen 600 here from the chemist, no prescription!

 

wildflower put me onto Devil's Claw, and it did the trick for me!

 

LOL.I used Devil's claw on Tina,but it failed,she did a bit better on Green Lipped Mussle,but I think it was a bit too late for her,as the Arthritis had gone too far,but anything is worth a try

 

Hi every one.Had wind all yesterday and throughout the evening.Nice weather yesterday for drying the washing.
