Shirley...you might want to check out EFT (emotional freedom technique). It's
been shown to be very effective for back pain...all pain, no matter what the
pain is from. EFT is not just for emotional health. It actually works on
physical ailments (including those from arthritis)very very well. It's
something you can learn to to yourself or work with a practitioner. All the
info on the website is completely free and very easy to learn.
Here is the link:http://www.emofree.com/
I use EFT daily for my family, pets and friends. It works!
My best, Lin

Thanks to all who have responded to us. He has used ibuprofen but it did
not help him. Other otc's also. Naproxen did help and he used it consistently
until Celebrex. He did the complete CMO thing with the product recommended on
this list or some other by someone. It has been a long time and I don't recall
the particulars. It was from an individual person, not a company. His problem
began 5 years after a back surgery. The MD said arthritis would set in after
about 5 years and it did. However, we had no idea it would be so crippling;
we just expected aches and pains, not constant agony. I will tell him about
the flax oil drops since we have and use Barlean's regularly. He will give it
a good try I'm sure. He has upped his cs intake to a pint or so a day and
doesn't have to be cajoled or reminded. I think he will be interested to find
out that one of the iodine docs-maybe Abraham, recommends 50 mgs. per day for 3
months for saturation, then down to 12.5 for maintainance. Since the iodine
has made a noticeable difference at a lower dose, it sounds reasonable to give
that a shot. And I am making a gallon of new cs just now--a quart or so a day
might be a good idea. What's a little blue between friends. :) But I make the
good stuff anyway. Thanks again to all. I have ordered the Can-C. It
should arrive soon and when we know something I will report. Best wishes, pj
