I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my back - mostly on the right side and shoulder. I wake up every morning with severe pain. I have been using Tylenol for arthritis and Theracurmin, also Lakota for the pain only with temporary relief. I can t sleep on my back as my back gets very painful when I do and is now to the point I can t lay on my back. I also have arthritis in both knees. The chiropractor gave me exercises with the rubber rope to do every second day. What can I do to get relief on a longer term basis? Most of the time my knees don t bother me - I walk daily.
