You might try CBD oil. One of the ladies at work is trying it for her neuropathy and other nerve pain. I asked her today if it was helping and she said yes and no. It hasn't helped the neuropathy yet but it is helping her other never pain.

Ice, baby, ice! Ice reduces inflammation and pain.

To heal, I rely on RICE: Rest, ice, compression and elevation. At first, I take Ibuprofen for two days.

Be very careful with your knees and consult a doctor perhaps but yoga and an ice cold blast in the shower for as long as I can stand it help me a lot in addition to herb. my injuries aren’t quite as accute as yours, no surgeries but I’ve got a dashboard knee from a wreck and some pulled back muscles, mild scoliosis and sciatica. generally most of it boils down to poorly aligned, tense hips causing problems above and below so that’s what I’ve been working on. Any way you can find to alternate heat and cold on your back will probably help, although I presume if you’ve had surgeries it’s a slipped, fused, or herniated disc problem and not musculature? I would say look up some relaxing yin yoga for elongating the spine might be nice. It uses very little effort and mostly puts you in a position where gravity will do the work.

Turmeric root juiced with carrots and apples
Turmeric in curry
Turmeric supplements
Turmeric Tea

I also eat cherries and pineapple...a lot!
And I throw chia seeds and hemp seeds into my smoothies everyday.

You might want to try CBD oil. I sell it at work and I have had really positive feedback from my customers on its efficacy. So sorry you have to go through that pain.

I drink this tea hot in the winter every day....and during the summer, I brew it with a cinnamon tea and then make the combination into Iced tea....

Something else I forgot to mention......Turmeric aka Curcumin. It has great anti inflammatory properties and again I have had really positive feedback. I also use it myself.

Move it and keep your momentum with no pills. Suck it up and see the light. The Dr's have you on the Pill for Improvement Dosage. NG. Exercise is Medicine. Once you get started your will not look back.

Inflammation is the problem, good ideas from everyone but I would suggest in testing your ph balance, litmus strips. I use sodium bicarbonate in a glass of water.

Tylenol. Mostly.
I had some oxys after my procedure(s), but that was just for a few days.
I can't even get any weed. Don't know anyone here to ask.

All I get to do is suck it up, and tough it out.
Such is life.

I use my Young Living essential oils.
I have a blend of Frankincense, Rosemary,
Copaiba and a couple others. I needed relief after a brain injury to my skull. I prefer natural alternatives.
I don't want anything toxic in my body.
Oils work for me.

I just live with it. Tylenol on rare occasions. Sorry.

I o not like pain killers and seldom take them. I just try to outlast the pain until its cause can be dealt with or outlasted.

White willow bark is good for pain. Try doing some research on herbs used for pain.

I’m an open heart RN, pain meds are not an option. I’ve had several back surgeries and so many injections that I’ve lost count. I stay active and keep my core strong. Yoga, swimming, cycling and weight training are really important to keeping functional and maintaining flexibility.

I have arthritis in my ribs. It's really tough pain. And I don't have a moment's problem when I take oral liquid hyaluronic acid. It's called Play Again Now. Go the website - they just lowered their price. www.playagainnow.com

Also suggesting CBD, and physical therapy. Increasing muscle strength stabilises and eases the strain on joints.

Depending on your type of arthritis--things like Enbrel work--you should talk to your rhuematologist. I have been on all the biologics--and Xeljanz would be my last hope. Currently on Taltz.
But check on Xeljanz because it treats different types of arthritis.

Take Boswellia, take a good Omega 3 essential Fatty acid product. A safe one to recommend is by BioticsResearch optimal omega 3s, take Standard Process OstrophinPMG and Calcifood Wafers for bone support. You also need to avoid all grains, especially wheat, rye and barley.

Take CBD . I take and recommend Designs for Health Cannabomega

I tore up my left knee when I was young, while training a horse. I limped along for 30 years, till it was so bad that I was in misery. After all that time, I damaged my right knee so bad from depending on it. Since I am a midwife, I needed my knees. I had a total knee on my left knee, 8 years ago, then 2 years later had total knee on right knee. I also have arthritis in my right hip and fingers. I had carpal tunnel on both hands. I also have arthritis in my right shoulder. So, now, my knees are great, butI don't want to have more artificial parts, at least not now, so, I take fish oil, turmeric,and eat muffins, brownies, or zucchini bread, with weed in it. I also walk, and work around the farm. I am doing ok with this regimen. I'm still a little aches, especially in this hot, humid weather, but if I run out of turmeric, I really feel it. I'm not as spry as I was when I was young, but, I can still ride my horse. He has learned to stand and wait while I haul my fat ass on, and off, and my daughter gets a lot of laughs, but, as long as I can still do it, it makes my joints feel better and it's fun. I would never get weed from a dealer, but, if you have a prescription, you can get some that isn't dangerous, or, depending on where you live, grow your own. If you get edibles with CBD, you won't get high like if you smoke it. My son in law treated their dog with CBD, when he was on chemo for cancer, and did very well with it. Maybe Tai Chi also. A gentle excersize.

I have chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in my hands and feet from chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma (in remission since August 2017). It causes both numbness and pain, and limits my functioning. Right now I'm on two pain meds which help manage some of the pain (non-narcotic -- I will not take opioids, besides their addictive characteristics, they don't really help), and I'm in OT/PT to learn ways to exercise and function, because chances are this won't go away, or go away entirely or quickly, and I need to learn how to live with this. I've tried other meds, natural remedies, acupuncture, and cannabis, none of them worked. At this point it's been more about learning to manage it and live my life than trying to make it go away. I also take anti-depressants and do mindfulness practices, which help a lot with the psychological aspects.

THC can be magic for pain. Also yelling explatives really loud. CBD oil is being investigated for bone healing properties. Juries are still out on much of this, but early results look interesting.
