valval

hi all u new users who have ostioarthritus i started with bad flare ups last nov. put off going doc as thought she would think it all in my head :oops: had to go in jan she said take ibuprophen (had blood tests three weeks in a row) as u can guess this did not help much she also gave meglucosamine/chond, still on this. in may changed me to naproxen as blood still showing inflimation (fingers feet and back still giving a lot of pain at time) guess what the tabs work 4 me nearly pain free can get shoes on so stick with it when u get right medication 4 u life is so much better
