Arthritis!....Naffed off with it

[Pat]

Been suffering with it in my fingers and Knuckles for a while now, The pain is unbearable, More so at night when trying to sleep.. Im suffering at work , Cant hold spanners / welder etc for too long, ... Its Pissing annoying. Thought some of the more seasoned members had a remedy, Old wives tale Cures etc.. Doctor says wear and tear. (That helps)..... Any Idea's...

I go to a specialist and he put me on Something called Methotrexate and it has done the trick for me.He is the best in NZ.Take 2 pills once a week.Bang on.

Upbringing as a child has a lot to do with damage to joints,Kids think they are indestructible.I had to get my Knees replaced but that was because I was aa good Catholic boy and and kneeled a lot and when older was still on my knees asking girls for favours.AH,its a hard life.
