Thank you! I do have an infrared heating pad.I have one, didn't help my arthritis one bit. I highly recommend a far infrared heating pad if you haven't tried one, I've had much better luck with that.
Oh - I've tried every kind of gels and creams and arthritis relief OTC meds.Have you tried Voltaren gel? Salonpas with Lidocaine (pick the right one)? Shock absorbing long distance runner sneakers - the New Balance Fuel Cell have been life changing for me? Changing oil to olive oil and dropping wheat, I don't really think it is the oils or the what themselves but the chemicals added and the GMO seem to make swelling worse.
Can you stay off of the injury a few days when it gets bad? Have crutches or anything?
Thanks! Your answer was very helpful!I haven't used any handheld devices. I was in a spa once and they had a room for the red light therapy. Basically we just lay under the lights for 10-20 minutes at the most. I thought it was going to be some placebo type thing, so I wasn't expecting anything. But after 10 minutes I did feel more energized and a sense of energy flow in my whole body.
Yes, I am aware of what Infrared Light is - there are panels and also handheld devices.Infrared light is a type of heat lamp. I have seen some commercials for an LED type red light that claims it helps your hair to grow, but not sure if there is any reputable science behind that.
