Great Knee Pain Relief

Does anyone use and oils on their sore joints? I use one called Jungle Balm with some relief on an arthritic joint and my knee.
 

First of all you would do good to look into PRP injections for the knee. Here is Dr. Hansen's site and he is in Scottsdale AZ. There are providers all over the world and all of the U.S..

I'm having my first appt in Dec in the LA doctor who does these all day long. For over 20 yrs.


On the oils, my favorites are

Ultra Tiger Balm
Topricin Homeopathic
Aspercream with Lidocaine
Inflamyar Ointment
CBD Salves
And I'm sure there are others I've used over the last 23 yrs of this knee issue...and they are all temporary relief. Everything is temporary relief.

PRP Regenerates our joints.

And of course, it all depends on the severity of one's issues.

I never heard of Jungle Balm and I'll look at it, but I use so many as you can see above.

And wear knee support.
 

My husband and I both have severe back, hip and joint pain sometimes, depending upon the weather and what we're doing. The doctor prescribed Voltaren in pill form but neither of us could handle it. He then switched us both to Voltaren Gel 1%, topical, to rub on the skin. It was a godsend for both of us. It is prescription and you don't want to get it in your eyes, but I think you can now get it OTC. I think there is a generic brand of it but we only use Voltaren Gel. We get ours at a military base. It takes about 10 minutes to work but totally eliminates the pain. We always keep a tube on hand. Our friend who is an airline stew was having such pain one morning he didn't think he could work his shift, so we gave him our tube to try. He came back in about 20 minutes with our tube and the biggest smile we've ever seen on his face. He did a cartwheel to show us how well it worked then headed straight for his doctor's office. I don't know if it works the same on everyone but most people who have tried it say it is just a wonder drug. There is also a 2.32%. A Google search for Voltaren Gel will bring up a lot of information about it. It is an NSAID in topical form. Good luck to anyone with joint aches. https://www.painscience.com/articles/voltaren-gel.php
 
This is what ebay offers from other countries.

My neighbor had an extra tube of the stuff from the U.S. and gave it to me, she deals with RA, and gets it thru her disability so it's cheap for her, but it was so so for my pain issues. If I pushed a MD to get it for me it would be like $40 for the tube and I don't carry drug insurance...so for me I don't use it now. I may buy a tube from ebay next month and try it again.

For my pain issues everything is temporary relief....lots of OA, 80 yrs of wear and tear.

I should have mentioned FOR ME, I found just as much relief with Aspercream/4% Lidocaine as the Voltaren and Aspercream much less money and easy to get, otc in drug stores or online. No MD's scripts needed.

As far as rub on I use Salonpas for quick temporary relief. Thanks for the Voltaren tip. It is very available on ebay. I read recently matcha green tea is good for fighting inflamed joints so I started drinking it. Today I bought 600 mg Tumeric tablets, 1250 mg flaxseed gel caps and glucosomine/ chondroitin complex pills. I will try to work on this pain from the inside as well. I am also scheduled for x-rays on both knees in a day or two to see what is going on. Weight loss is also number one on my list.
 
It's true more weight on body, is more weight on knees. OA does not go away, it advances so we need to manage this nasty stuff. I'm headed to a Prolo MD in the middle of Dec. to see what he thinks of more Prolo in the knee that was infected by staph. Long ugly story.

I can't bring myself to a major knee replacement surgery...talk about more body trauma and rehab and and and....
