A member asked:
My father is suffering from osteoarthritis level 3 for 2years. what analgesic and joint supplement would be the best for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoarthritis: Medications like ibuprofen /naoroxen should be helpful for pain control unless not tolerated well in the past.There is no strong evidence that supplements of any sort work on arthritis symptoms. That’s true even for glucosamine and chondroitin. Those are 2 supplements people seem to think help with arthritis. If you decide to try any supplements or herbs, check with your doctor or nurse before taking them.
