[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 200523"] I do not personally have RA, but my mother did. I remember her limping. I remember her hands all swollen up. She would get cortisone shots in her joints. She liked the whirlpool and swimming (floating around) in a warm pool. When I was 14 she was in a wheel chair. She had her hips replaced. Within one week we walked around the block. She was taking asprin, like 16 a day at one point. Then she developed bleeding ulcers. Then she took motrin / upset stomach. She took ascriptin (sp?) do they still sell that? Eventually she had a prescription for tylenol #4. In her younger years the cortisone shots seemed to really help her. When I say younger years - I mean when i was a teen ager. She was 40 when she had me. Wasn't until late 60's or early 70's when she had more difficulty. Hot packs (the ones you put in the microwave), whirlpool, heating pad. She liked all of that. I hope you feel better. [/QUOTE]
