I'm having a miserable time of it. My arthritis is flaring up, and because
I have an ulcer, I can't take aspirin. If it isn't one joint that's giving
me trouble, it's another. I could do physical therapy for my knees, but
that aggravates my ankles. The best treatment that works is to rub
aspircreme on the joints that are giving me trouble and then wrap them in
ace bandages, but that's starting to get played out. I'd figured that
eventually it might give me a rash, and I was right. The rash is trying to
take hold on my ankles. So now I have to just hope that discontinuing the
cream and trying to walk slowly will be enough to control the pain and the
rash. I didn't do anything to deserve this torture. ;(

I'm restricted due to decreased kidney function. I've been taken off nsaids
and such entirely. I'm seeing a pain specialist and after a brief course of
steroids he has prescribed the extended release oxycontin twice daily with
onycodone in between when necessary. This takes care of the pain very well
so you might consider looking for a pain doctor. Most doctors are very wary
of prescribing narcotics long term or in heavy doses because of the nature
of today's litigation and irrational fears of addiction. This is much
misplaced IMHO and backed by studies which do recommend narcotics for long
term arthritic conditions. Lots of luck in your search for relief and no, we
didn't do anything to deserve this pain, just your government 'protecting'
you. Ha!

I take Nexium for ulcers and Ultram for arthritis pain. These are only two
of the RXs I take, but they work for the stomach and the OA pain.

hi as
got a couple questions for you
which 'type' of arthritis do you have?
are you seeing a rheumatologist?
you say you have an ulcer - caused by what? - ever tested for the
bacterium that is proved to cause most ulcers? if that is the cause they
'can' cure the durn thing! yes, i know some doctors still don't test for
it - but insist
you only mention aspirin - what other meds have been tried?
all in all - there just isn't enough info in your post to give
reasonable reply back
stick around - there are a lot of good folks, with terrific solid info
who might be able to steer you if you provide more info
be well

Well let's hope you don't need Viagria as well. Now that's a real
joint problem.
