About Karen Brawner Expertise I can answer questions regarding osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. I can also answer questions regarding other autoimmune diseases of which rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease.
Experience I have a family history of rheumatoid arthritis and I myself suffer from osteoarthritis. I also suffer from systemic sclerosis and CREST syndrome which are also autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease.)
Question YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER MY QUESTION. I HAVE HAD BREAST CANCER, PSORIASIS AND PSORATIC ARTHRITIS ALONG WITH SEVERAL FORMS OF ARTHRITIS. I HAVE VERY SEVERE PAIN IN MY LEFT CHEST, ARM,AND NECK PLUS NUMBNESS FROM MY SURGERY 10 YEARS AGO. WHAT IS A GOOD PAIN METHOD, IF ANY, TO TRY AND FOLLOW. I HAVE BEEN TO DOCTOR AFTER DOCTOR AND AM TOLD TO TAKE MOTRIN OR TYLENOL. NOTHING HELPS. IS THERE A HERBAL PRODUCT THAT WILL HELP. I AM DESPERATE. I ALSO HAVE SWEATING ALL THE TIME WHICH I GOT AFTER THE SURGERY. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP ME, I THANK YOU FOR BEING A LISTENING EAR. GOD BLESS. BARBARA ADAMS
Answer Dar Barbara, First of all do not assume that the pain you are having in your left chest, arm and neck are from any of the arthritis problems you have or from the breast cancer... Be sure you are in good cardiac health, since symptoms of heart problems are the same as you mentioned here....
Mortin is an antiinflammatory which often helps with arthritis, but there are other medications that are not pain medications that you should talk to your doctor about....
Mortin, tylenol, asprin etc are only effective for MINOR pain and it may be time to ask your doctor for something like Darvocet N100 or another prescriptions pain medicine....
I am NOT into herbal treatments, so I can't help you there...
