What Is The Treatment For Arthritic Pains?

Hi about two years ago my body and joints were aching all over a friend of mine recomended taking serepeptase tablets. After a few days I felt a definate improvement and after a few months I felt I was cured so I stoped taking the serepeptase tablets but within a few weeks my pains returned, so I started taking the tablets again and apart from a few weeks of trying to do without them I have been taking them for over two years now. My problem is I have had to increase my dosage to keep my aches and pains at bay (I am now taking up to 10 plus tablet a day) I have seen my doctor and he says about my knees that it is probably my cartlidge and it will eventually settle down, about my back try walking and doing more exercise other pains are probably arthritis and all he prescribes are pain killers, which don t help. any suggestions please?

Hello,

It is disastrous to take analgesic in such dosage for such long time. It may damage your kidney. You may consult to your doctor and get yourself investigated including X-ray and blood investigation like CBC, blood sugar, thyroid functions, serum uric acid etc.There are various reasons for such pains like:
- Fibromyalgia
- Gout
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Liver and kidney problems
- Anemia
- Variant of arthritis

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
