Severe Shoulder Arthritis?
-
I was recently diagnosed with severe shoulder arthritis; bone on bone, caused by dislocation (9 years ago) and shoulder surgery (3 years ago). I'm only 20 years old. My doctor said that I'm 20 but have the shoulder of an 80 year old. He said that really the only treatment that I qualified for was coutison injections. I had two in the past with no change, made the pain worse. He said I was too young for shoulder replacement. But the pain is keeping me awake at night and I'm not able to do too much without the pain putting an end to what I'm doing. Does anybody have ideas or advice for treatment or pain relief?

Answer:
The extracts of vitamin B and E have turned out to be great pain reliever and helps in reducing the pain caused by arthritis. Oil massage can be a very useful tool too in order to get rid of arthritis. As it can be done at home, it is very cost effective too. One should ensure that he gets a proper lubricant for curing arthritis problems. A mixture containing garlic and grape and cater seeds is ideal for massaging.

Ask your doctor about physical therapy. It will be painful, but it does help. Take it from an old guy. :)
