Arthritis

[carmen66]

Hi my dad is in his 70's & has just been diagnosed with arthritis in his spine and pelvis.The doctors can't do much apart from prescribe pain killers which don't touch it he's in a lot of pain when he walks.
I'm just looking for advice on what he can do to help the pain I was also thinking about getting him some fish oils Any advice greatly appreciated

A walking stick?

Thankyou for your replies the walking stick might support him but it's the pain that's getting him down.. I don't think the Dr referred him for physio I will look into it... I'm just wondering if a supplement would help i.e fish oils? It must be agony :(

Please be careful with a walking stick.
I bought a few,"trendy," ones as I didn't like my NHS crutches.
I ended up with really bad back pain & back on the crutches; they give a much better posture.
Hope you get something sorted for him, constant pain is miserable.
