Can arthritis pain ever come under control?
my mother has arthritis and we have tried couple of things to cure her from the arthritis pain but nothing helps in the long run. Can anyone list down good sites or any other information that can help her cure the arthritis pain for life?

You don’t mention which kind of arthritis she has (there are about 100 kinds of arthritis!) but for the purposes of answering your question I’ll assume that she has osteoarthritis (OA), one of the most common types. You also don’t say which joint(s) are affected. There is no cure for OA.

Conservative measures include exercise and/or physical therapy, non-steroidal drugs (NSAIDS), cortisone injections, use of a walking aid such as a cane for hip and knee OA. Hyaluronic treatments can work for some with knee OA. The final treatment for those with advanced OA in the hip, knee, or shoulder involves surgery in the form of replacement of the joint. This is as close to a "cure" as medical science has achieved.
I had severe OA in my hips. I tried some of the conservative measures for several years and I was able to put off the surgery for a year or so but eventually I had both hips replaced. I now can walk with no limp, no pain, need no cane, and take no meds. I have my life back and I am, for all practical purposes, "cured" of OA in the hip joint. I also have OA in my thumb joint and a knee but so far they don’t bother me too much and I can still do normal activities with no pain.
To learn more about all types of arthritis, have a look at some of these websites:

November 22nd, 2009 at 9:27 pmwell it depend the type of arthritis she has. If it is rheumatoid then the intercellular material between the bones is gone and she is suffering the damage to the bone ends.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:27 pmWithout any doubt the best substance for long time relief and assistance is Glucosamine sulphate with chondroitin.
This is made from shell fish so she must be sure that she has no allergy reaction to eating that fish food.
It’s been out now for at leat 10 years for my certain knowledge and has no known side effects. However at 1000mg dosage a day its going to take 6 weeks for it to take effect, and a great time longer to re grow the material between the bones.
its been proved scientifically that arthritis pain can be bought under control for life. Bio Resonance therapy can put your joint-pain condition off safely.

Yes Arthritis pain can be brought into a more acceptable level, however, it is a struggle to find the right combination of drugs to help. I get chronically severe pain daily and very bad lower back aches and feeling like my muscles are constantly burning especially around my knees and ankles. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I take Disease Modifying Drugs like Sulfasalazine 500mg 4 times daily, Prednisolone Steroids 10mg once daily, Omeprazole 20mg daily to fight acid reflux from Steroid use, I take multiple vitamin supplements and I take 8 Co-Dydramol pills per day for pain which are (10mg Dihydrocodeine/ 500mg Paracetamol (Tylenol)), I have a 20mcg/per hour Buprenorphine patch, yet im still in agony and find it difficult to walk and get up off chairs without my crutch there to help me. Every step is agony for me and im only 24 in a few weeks.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:27 pmIn some cases it can be but this depends upon the type of arthritis, the severity, overall physical condition of your Mom, etc.
Some things that help are exercise, enough sleep each night, a healthy diet and maybe join an arthritis support group in the area.
Has she seen a doctor and tried medications or have you just tried supplements? Nothing beats seeing a physician for professional help!
