First of all I empathize with the chronic pain from osteoarthritis. I feel your pain, literally, people without arthritis don’t understand. Even the young 30-40 something year old Drs that treat us. They have not arrived. I have OA in my feet ,hips, severe in low back, and severe in hands. I also have hypo thyroid and a slow gut. I thank God for my slow gut because it has kept me from using antidepressants, pain pills and large doses of gabapentin. I take fish oil, osteo biflex, boswalia, hyaluronnic acid, and alternate Sam E with Tumeric. I could take them both but tumeric causes stomach irritation. I also take Magnesium before bed which helps me sleep and I do probiotic and enzymes for my gut. I take in the morning about one hour after breakfast Only 100mg of gabapentin and 100 mg of Celebrex. Heat pads are my best friend and sometimes ice wraps. I also take 10,000 u D3/ with K2. Lack of D3 causes inflammation. Get your levels checked and go sit in the sun if you can. I eat a clean diet and stay active. I have to put the mind over the matter and keep moving. Since your not working a job you can take rest periods and use ice or heat to the areas of pain as needed. I would recommend seeing a functional med Dr. they will give you ways to treat you naturally and maybe get you off most are at least decrease your dosages. Of course my pain management Dr wanted me to take an enormous amount of gabapentin too but I was so stoned and I couldn’t feel myself urinate and not to mention the increase in already bad constipation which I’m on Linzess for. All said there are alternatives to antidepressants and pain meds. All those ruin your body. I also have developed a high pain tolerance and have accepted my lot in life. I would do the stem cell therapy but unless you are wealthy it’s unaffordable and I’m not. I am also going to start making my on L Reuteri Yogurt. I here it’s good for your gut and inflammation. I currently eat Stonyfield probiotic Yogurt. All said I know how chronic pain can get the best of you. I pray God heals you. Count your blessings. You mentioned your family. You are a blessed man! Today my oldest grand daughter drew me a picture of a beautiful flower and sent it to me via text. She lives 750 miles away. We see each other via FaceTime about twice a month but can only visit maybe 3-4 times per year. The 9 hour car drive is hard on arthritic lower back. Pray always and Don’t give up!
