Question:
Answers:
It depends on the type of arthritis, Osteo-arthritis from wear and tear can be treated with aspirin up to 4 grams in divided doses. The problem is the great chance of bleeding peptic ulcers. Tylenol is ok but doesn't have the antiinflammatory component.Some choose Aleve but it can cause bleeding also. Rheumatoid arthritis tends to be more complex. Opiates are sometimes given. A physician's advise is imparative for all types of arthritis,

Morphine? my dad uses this fishoil stuff and a load of stuff the docter gave him. sorry, i'm not all that helpful eh?
Glucosamine
Aleve
Aleeve Plain old aspirin works about as well as anything. Sometimes heat helps - different people find different things work, but you can try dry heat, as in a heating pad, or moist heat, as plopping your hands in a basin full of warm water.
There are some antipholgisten salves and ointments that some people use, and that might help you as well. Talk to your local pharmacist to see what he suggests, then go to your local health food store and see what they suggest. If this sounds like trial and error, it is, because people react very differently -- and because there are so many different kinds of arthritis.
Good luck with it!
