Mandem   13 #13 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I suffer terribly from cramp and take quinine regularly (one tablet every night) and I still have painful arthritis. I also drink lots of tonic water My hands hurt but I think that is the cold weather. So it could be the gin that helps the arthritis, might have to add a bit of gin to the tonic water. (just for medicinal purposes of course) Edited October 24, 2014 by Mandem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sheffvlad   10 #15 Posted October 24, 2014 I had a pain in my knee so decided to take some brandy to kill the pain. A bottle and a half later and I'd totally forgotten about it. I'd also forgotten where I lived, that I was married and to take the old man out when I wanted a pee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Workstylz   10 #16 Posted October 24, 2014 I suffer from Arthritis and Leg spasms and was prescribed quinnie tablets which did help. I had to stop taking them as I was also disagnosed with menieres disease and they were affecting my balance.  I have regular steriod injections in my knee and shoulder, but have found the cream Penetrex a great relief for the tenderness that occurs in the skin around my knees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tzijlstra   11 #17 Posted October 24, 2014  What am I watching???  Cannabis! Give it a go  I can't praise the medicinal benefits of cannabis enough. Back in the land of the free I used it to alleviate the pain that came with my initial knee-dislocation. Great for the knee, not so great for progress in my bachelor's degree.

(just for medicinal purposes of course) A fifty fifty mix seems to be the most effective hand pain treatment in my experience , it also seems to work a little better if one uses a larger glass.
