Osteoarthritis - what helps?

Hi @catmomma, I have osteoarthritis of my shoulder and I do take tylenol occasionally to manage the pain. I use an infrared heating pad which I purchased from Thermotex, a Canadian company with excellent customer service, in my experience. I also use a TENS Unit and a portable ultrasound device. For my knees, I've taken keratin supplements. I've heard a clinic advertising "wave therapy" on tv for "bone on bone" pain, but I'm not familiar with it.

Have you taken any physical therapy?

Hi,

I’ve tried just about everything. Tylenol sometimes helps. And yes, PT. I also like topicals like Tiger balm.
