I haven't been doing regular exercise lately, dang it all. I do get out to walk a bit, just not as much as would make much of a difference. Sometimes I just give in to the pain. And I think about steroids.
The last time I saw a doctor about this, with the pain in my left arm, he suggested taking tylenol four times a day, one capsule at a time. I have been doing that and sometimes I've taken two at a time twice a day. I do think it helps a bit, sometimes more than others. I consider this routine temporary. I am not interested in being on painkillers all my life.

Hi Judith:
First, great arthritis blog! Sorry to read about the pain in your hand. Be careful about taking Tylenol. Too much (or even a little, over an extended period of time) can cause liver damage (I speak from experience).

i am careful indeed about tylenol. I am taking four a day right now, max. Sometimes none. I am breaking away from it now that my left arm is not as painful...Yes, left arm. Another site.
Judith make sure you dont stay on it to much or else you will need to keep uping the dosage
No, I don't have any need to increase the dosage, nor would I. It makes little enough effect, just offers enough to take the edge off.
its good you are trying not to take it unless you need it
Pain pills without prescription are widely used in all countries, especially in the U.S. where the economy people look for your home, as the situation facing this country still is not the best, with more reason, if the medicines they need are controlled as vicodin, hydrocodone, tramadol, lortab, Percocet, etc. Therefore, in findrxonline suggest that these medications for chronic pain are very effective, but they also are very controlled should be priority for people in need, remember that health care is very important for people.
Sorry to read about the progressive pain. It sure is frustrating not to be able to do what we've been able to. Tried a natural pain reliever, if you are interested, for my hands. Works well for me. Much better than constant doses of ibuprofen. I use the pain formula from Revive Health (www.revivehealth.net). I hope you find a great solution for you.
