Anybody here have to deal with arthritis? What helped? Insurance isn't helpful and neither is popping twelve ibuprofens a day...


I have. Seems like some people have had good experience with tirz but all sorts of results are all over different threads... Would just like everybody's experience to be in one place and it seemed like this was the right subforum...PopTart said:Did you try thetool? There’s 3 pages of posts about arthritis.
It would help to know the specific type of arthritis - osteo, erosive osteo, rheumatoid, etc as they all have different inflammatory markers and may be less responsive to a peptide.


I know this thread is old, but wondering if you found anything that works well in your research?Anon7482 said:Anybody here have to deal with arthritis? What helped? Insurance isn't helpful and neither is popping twelve ibuprofens a day...

Same for me, tried Synvisc, lasted about 4 months, switched to Euflexxa, that lasted about a year. Next step is Durolane but insurance can't seem to make up their mind on coverage grrr. My brother on the other hand has had very good luck with Synvisc, going on 4+ years with only 3 injections, he's running around the basketball court like the energizer bunny.pepshi said:I'm also curious... I have osteoarthritis in my knees. I've taken Synvisc which is a liquid membrane but it only lasted maybe a month... it was supposed to last 6 months.

Glad it worked for your brother... at this point I would go for surgery if they could repair it somehow but that's not an option yetCheesyPotato said:Same for me, tried Synvisc, lasted about 4 months, switched to Euflexxa, that lasted about a year.

Yeah .. it just highlights the fact that all species are valuable and we shouldn't let them die out.
