Hi
Just wanted to say, it is ok not to be ok. Some days I am in a lot of pain but I can’t have anything for my pain as I can not have anti- inflammatory tablets.
please stay safe everyone x

Pain control is not just about medications, have a look at https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/

Hi @Teresa15 lovely to meet you and yes it is ok not to be ok.
There is pain relief as well as anti-inflammatories. The simplest being paracetamol of course. I say never underestimate the power of a warm wheatbag (the kind you microwave) on sore joints.
I think the info Mike1 has linked for you gives much more than my simplistic post about different treatments that might help us.
Take care

Hi @Teresa15
Was scrolling through the "Say Hello" Form and came across your post.
The answer is "Yes" it is ok to not be ok.
How come you can't take anti-Inflammatory tablets. I was on them for about 6 years then after being poorly and in hospital I get told I'm not allowed to take them anymore and I had them taken of me. Nothing was put in its place. I was in total agony so I can understand what pain you are in. Do you see a pain management team?
There are painkillers that don't have anti-inflammatory in them. Have you been offered them?
If you want to talk more I am always here. We all have to stick together!
Stay safe
