Erosive osteoarthritis pain but can't take NSAIDS

I too have severe osteoarthritis in my right knee-grade 4. I’m on a low dose blood thinner as well so I too can only take Tylenol. I find taking at night only mainly to relax and sleep works best. Also sleeping with a pillow between my legs helps as well. I also have been taking a supplement of Magnesium Glycinate with a multivitamin. I did get some relief from a Cortisone shot as well. My knee pain has gone from an 8 or 9 to a 3 or 4 most days. I don’t know exactly why but I’m grateful. I have a knee replacement in my future but I’m holding off as long as possible. Good luck-hope you find some relief soon.

Why hold off? The younger we are the more health , strength and energy we have to give to the healing process. I had knee surgery a little over 2 years ago and it’s the best move I ever made. My doctor used robotic surgery and I highly recommend that. Plus, get one of those continuously circulating ice water machines.
Hello, I see that several months have passed since your last post on this site, but have you found the solution to reducing your joint pain other than Tylenol?
I have aching knees and one hip replacement from 2018 that now is bothering me often, plus the other hip that is bone on bone (occasional aching but not chronic). I have a huge amount of temporary pain when I get up off the couch, lasting a minute or so. What would you vouch for that is working the best for you at this point in time? Has gabapentin been effective for you? I'm 77 years old. Thanks!
