• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Thanks for this information. It's good stuff to know!

Plenty more where this came from. The doctor did an hour long health webinar with much more information about this and what you can do about it. If you're interested in seeing this let me know.

On the spiritual side, arthritis is often associated with bitterness and unforgiveness. I would attempt to bring all matters to God and have him show you who you need to forgive and to help you do so. There may be individuals in your distant past that you have unforgiveness for that you've forgotten... Even yourself.

On the physical side, I would google Dr. Mark Sircus, and expert in magnesium. Severe magnesium deficiencies cause calcium to leach from bones and float around in blood, depositing calcium in the joints and organs of the body. Magnesium oil can be applied topically and ingested.

If your arthritis is caused by uric acid buildup, you could look into anti-inflammatory herbs, like ginger, turmeric, clove, etc. Baking soda with water may also help. There are other natural options, but this will suffice for this post.

Hope you find relief.

Thank you for your thoughtful and thought provoking post. I don't believe that arthritis has any kind of a spiritual problem attached to it, sorry.:)

If your arthritis is caused by uric acid buildup
Build up of uric acid leads to gout. Gout occurs when your kidneys aren't functioning well. I don't think, RuthD, that you are suffering from gout. Unless you've got chronic kidney failure, or, some other kidney-related issues?

But, if you want to, you could take a blood test to find out your uric acid levels.

Exercise can help relieve arthritic pain, but, running/jogging is not recommended. Swimming is good for people with joint-related pain. It keeps you moving without putting too much stress on the joints.

Light exercise, like, walking and cycling is also good. But, with your hip pain, cycling might aggravate it...

Additionally, you might want to try fish oil (to lubricate your joints), but, do consult your doctor before taking this supplement... it has blood-thinning properties.

Diclofenac is pretty good in relieving pain. I took it when I had a heel fracture. The only concern is dependency...

I'm wondering if you've been prescribed Danzen? It's an anti-inflammatory drug.

if it are me i would find someone who could heal me of arthritis. i would contact someone like curry blake who has an almost 100% healing rate then i would see about him healing me. why you would want to find alternatives when you can be healed of it is beyond me. well whatever you decide God bless you.

God does heal, but, He gives us wisdom to take care of our health. We want a quick fix, but, if we don't know how or refuse (I'm not implying that RuthD falls into this category) to take care of ourselves, there's no point in asking for a miracle healing.

according to a science survey

13% of all diseases are due environmental or diet
87% of all diseases are caused by mental depression.

mental depression is defined as any negative and toxic thoughts against you.

this is factual evidence that shows where these diseases come from. now that we know where it comes from, why not take authority over your mountain and tell it what you want it to do.

the ball is in our court. let us live in divine healing instead of the lifestyle you are living now.

God bless

I have arthritis all over but it's not incapacitating yet. Mostly my knees and my hips bother me. I take diclofenec. What do you do for yours?
first thing to do is to find out what kind of arthritis you have--there are several different kinds.
secondly check with a rheumatologist to see what treatments are available.

Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc. I just have it in my wrists and right now it is light. I also pour boiling water in a mug with a whole egg in it, wait for three minutes, and eat the whole thing. The boiling water sterilizes the outside and the inner membrane of the shell gives you a certain nourishing chemical that you can also buy in over-priced supplements. It's good for my type of arthritis.

I take Vitamin D and get some sun, too. Vitamin D helps to modulate the immune system and if you have a problem with your autoimmune system that will help if you are low. The RDA is too low, though happily it has risen lately--at least in the scientific literature. 5000 I.U. a day for cave dwellers seems appropriate...:-D

There has been a lot lately about probiotics that seem to indicate that some types of bacteria help modulate the immune system. This is more iffy, but I've been eating things like homemade yogurt for years, so perhaps I get some of the good guys along with that.

Keep stress down. I know that sounds stressful in itself, :), but take large daily dosages of Phil 4:6-9 and abide in Christ.
