Arthritis
-
Wow, wow, wow. I never knew that so many out there have some form of this ailment. Hugs to all. This ageing thing feels really strange to me. I mean, we take for granted our health, the status quo until bam! Reality check! The grey starts sprouting, skin texture starts changing, body starts protesting when there never was a question... Again, ageing stinks.

Wow, that sounds painful. I'm not there yet *touch wood*.Originally posted by whitsundays:Hi Jetta, FireIce
I understand how you feel as I was dignosed with gout some time ago. I remembered that it was bloody painful. When the blanket slides against your big toe, you feel a massive shot of the pain. It was very very painful and I was surviving on painkillers. -
FI you might want to try this Indonesian Jamu thingy I used when I hurt my knee in an auto accident but it's very messy and painfulOriginally posted by FireIce:accumulated from extreme sports i used to do.......
din take care properly last time
now going thru the pain and suffering
sometimes it can be so bad i can't even stand of walk.....
at its worst on rainy nights.....
Grind up some Old ginger, apply it on the joint area and wrap it up with cling wrap.
Going to painful too coz the more 'wind' there is, the hotter the ginger becomes
but it works very well for me and my knee no longer hurts when it rains.
Leave it there for half hour and remove it. Do not wash the ginger off but wipe the area dry with a dry towel -
that's because ginger relieves arthritis
you can take ginger extract medication like Zinaxin for relief... -
mine only hurts when i start to walk a lot
glucosamine can only help so much -
from the stuff i read, glucosamine isn't a proven thing.. could be a placebo effect for all we know..
i should take some of that ginger extract to reduce the inflammation of the injury i have.. maybe i'll go to the pharmacist tomorrow to have a looksee
oh... i think ginger extract is a proven thing..Originally posted by laurence82:mine only hurts when i start to walk a lot

Glusco works lah. But must take long term.
Stop for 3 months only, and my aching and stiff knee is back.
Ginger is often used for sprains and even slimming too.
Try slicing the ginger or grating it, soat the grated ginger in chinese rice wine or their so called 'tei ta jiu' (chinese medicinal wine for external use).
Use the grated ginger, wrap around the swolloen/sprain area with a bandage for a few hours. (Like what the above ladies has suggested.)
Or alternatively, soaked your feet in hot water with sliced gingered.
For slimming, can try ginger powder in your bathtub of hot water, soaked in it and hour, then wrapped yourself in your blanket to sleep.
Dont rinse off.
Next morning, you can find your blanket all oily and yellowish cos the ginger opened up your pores and sweat out the dirty stuffs in your body. -
Think real ginger is better.Originally posted by the Bear:i should take some of that ginger extract to reduce the inflammation of the injury i have.. maybe i'll go to the pharmacist tomorrow to have a looksee

Just buy, slice, put in saucepan of water, cook cool & drink it.
You guys tried the Ice lime juice with ginger yet?
Found it at Prata Cafe at Evans Road Singapore.
Got a real kick to it. I think they use normal lime juice, but throw in a spoonful of real ginger juice & then the crush ice. Darn cooling on a hot nite. And that powerful kick at the throat after that drink. -
Wow sounds very powderful leh!!!!
But its going to be super warm right to wrap urself in gingerrrr?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Glusco works lah. But must take long term.

It is super warm but it works like a charm on my knee injuries after the auto-accident and getting soaked in the rain for 2 hoursOriginally posted by ShrodingersCat:Wow sounds very powderful leh!!!!

Drinking lots of fresh ginger tea works too
