In reply to the discussion: Medical Dilemma: My cardiologist says NSAIDS are killing me. But I have severe arthritis. [View all]Niagara
(7,595 posts)As a person with inflammatory issues (not arthritis) I suggest the following:
1. Stay active, take a walk, do some easy peasy exercises like stretches and leg lifts.
2. Try to eliminate the 3 C's. Certain people's bodies have an inflammatory reaction to cheese, chocolate and coffee, even though these items are not considered an inflammatory.
3. If you eliminate the 3 C's and it doesn't help, go back to the 3C's and try to eliminate gluten. Gluten is a terrible inflammatory for
many people and they have no idea.
4. Add turmeric to your dishes. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties.
5. Ask your doctor about herbal supplements that you can take. The reason I say to ask your doctor is herbal supplements are not FDA regulated.
I hope this helps
