@Sedtzl I use heat, ice, meds, massage, a Theracane, and hot baths in Epsom Salts. I also go to pain management for trigger point injections, epidurals, and Botox.

Hello, how's everybody doing today?

I have rheumatoid arthritis, I'm 62 married man, I take 50 g of Embrel every week, and methotrexate once a week, sometimes the methotrexate makes me very sick and nauseous and sleepy.

These drugs do help with the pain but there are times when the pain is still quite unbearable especially when it lasts for hours days or even weeks without any let up.

I have found that taking hot showers, very hot showers almost to where you can't handle the heat anymore perhaps even wrap a hot towel around where ever your off-road his problems are affecting you, after I come out of the shower the pain has subsided to where I can manage for a little while, the downside is it will only last for 10 to 20 minutes more or less, but sometimes that's all I need to get a little sanity back. where ever your off-road his problems are affecting you, after I come out of the shower the pain has subsided to where I can manage for a little while, the downside is it will only last for 10 to 20 minutes more or less, but sometimes that's all I need to get a little sanity back

Suffering from chronic pain too. I am being treated by both a doctor and a chiropractor. The doctor has prescribed me with pain relief medicationfrom Canadian Pharmacy Online but that, along with the understanding that it will take between 2 - 6 weeks to improve, is about it.
