Hello @Jenny72051 welcome to the online community

You have arthritis in your shoulders and arms and are looking for alternative treatments since you cannot take anti inflammatory meds. Like many of us you hope to find some form of pain relief that suits you and there will be some of our members who manage their pain using alternative treatments and whom I hope will share their tips and advice with you.

Alongside medication for pain relief we are all being encouraged to follow some form of exercise to keep our muscles and joints flexible and mobile , so with that in mind I attach some links for your interest.
