My Journey With Osteoarthritis
I have suffered with osteoarthritis for the pass ‘10’ years. The symptoms became progressively worse within the last ‘5’. I experienced more swelling in my joints, increased pain, and very limited movement. In fact just sitting and getting up from a chair was more difficult. I took Over-the-counter pain medication, anti-inflammatory drugs recommended by my orthopedic doctor. Based on the recommendation of my orthopedic doctor I took the injection treatment of SYNVISC for several years. This type of treatment worked fairly well; however one of the main side effects is pain, swelling and/or fluid buildup in or around the knee and consequently I had them all. Within the last ‘2’ years I decided not to take any more injections because the side effects seem to out weight the benefits.
During the middle November 2010 a former co-worker sent me an email about the use of Cinnamon and Honey for different aliments. Well arthritis was one of those aliments listed. I immediately went to Wal-Mart to purchase the honey since I already had a big container of cinnamon on hand. Within one week of taking the honey & cinnamon mixture I begin to notice a drastic reduction in the swelling in my knees. The second week I noticed that my movement was very much improved and I could actually move my legs without agonizing pain. I am continuing to take this mixture and each day I am seeing improvement. I am now able to resume a light exercise regiment and hope to some day get back to the gym.

My arthritis is by no means cured but I am mobile and that means a lot. This remedy may not work for everyone, but I have had much improvement in my condition. After sharing my story I received a lot of feedback from individuals that recommend the Organic Manuka honey which I begin taking and it seems to offer even greater benefits.
Another herb for anti-inflammatory worth trying is ginger, which comes in capsules or tea.
