What Causes Severe Osteoarthritis Joint Pain Despite Being On Medication?
I ve been on Prevacid since March. It has been the only one that has helped of the 4 I ve taken. This has been quit a relief. About 2 months ago I noticed that the osteo arthritis joint pain has increased. I assumed that this was part of increased aging(I m 74). But this pain has really been limiting my life. Other than reflux and oa I have no health problems. Have had a scope on both knees and right shoulder. Now both shoulders are very painful, also the knees and R hip.
