My physiotherapist has advised me to try alternative therapy as he has done all he can for me. I take Devils Claw and have a copper bracelet. It is eary days so don't expect an improvement at the moment but my green arm is giving rise to a slight concern regarding the bracelet. Hubby suggested painting the inside with clear nail varnish but I think that might counteract any benefit (if there is any) that I might get. I have my arthritis at the moment in my knee and it really does make me feel really miserable. Climbing stairs is agony and I can no longer kneel down so hoping these tablets will help. I am doing my exercises. Jay.
