I was told that drinking caffeinated drinks,such as diet cola , could contribute to the pain of arthritis in a persons joints. Is there any truth to that statement?

I’m having a hard time with my ankles more than my knees. They don’t bother me unless I’m on my feet too long, then I can hardly stand; and the pain is pretty bad. What are you doing for yourself? I was taking Celebrex, but stopped because it got too expensive; now I’m taking Aleve but I think my body has become immune too it. I can’t afford to go to a doctor and I have no health insurance. Any suggestions?

Seeking info about the drug Voltaren (NSAID)?

Taking 100 mg of Voltaren for a swollen ankle. How does voltaren differ from ibuprofen? Is it stronger?
I just wondered because taking other anti-infamatory drugs like motrin or advil did not do anything for the swelling and pain in my ankle. but only 2 doses of Voltaren, and I my ankle feels great.

I am 61 and have started feeling pain in my shoulders, knees, and hips associated with arthritis. Does liquid glucosamine-chondroitin-MSM act faster than the pill form of the named ingredients?

I’m 46 years old, I’m a very sport man, suddenly I had a pain in my right knee 4 months ago. After I made X-ray, doctors said that it is knee osteoarthiritis.
I’d like to come back to my sport as quick as possible.

Since I was able to sit when hired for this job and now, after a bank merger, new rules apply, I am being treated by a doctor and cannot stand for 8 hours. Does the Americans with Disabilities Act apply here?

I went to see my Dr today for a sinus infection and she prescribed Toradol witch is an NSAID for the headaches and Amoxicillin for the infection.. Well a little after i took both together my lower back started hurting. I payed no mind to it since i already have a back injury but it kept getting a little worse and its a little higher than my pain usually is.. I have had a UTI once before and it feelss like that type of pain..I already take Lorcets for my injury and Adderall for my ADD.. My question is can the Toradol or Amox be causing my kidney pain?? If so what should I do? And what could it be??Could I have already been getting another UTI and the antibiotics I took hit it and that is causing the pain?? Please help..
