Pain and inflammation
Watch this postHi to all,
Pain and inflammation are worse in Winter at the moment because of all the Cold Weather Arthritis and Joint Pain Really Hurts
Paracetamols don't work well enough and I cannot have anti-inflammatories as I have a heart problem so I cannot Win.
Is anyone else like this? Dolphin5005.

Gave up putting gels on didn’t work. Even tried flexiseq.
Hope we both feel better soon.
Like you, I have found that paracetamol aren't much good and I cannot take anti-inflammatories either. However, I have found that Voltarol 2.32% gel is very effective when the arthritis is my knee flares up. Most pharmacies only stock the lower strength gel so I buy mine on Amazon. Good luck!

I've being treated for RA but I'm on medication for it so I'm lucky that the cold weather doesn't affect it too much.
Can you use Ibuprofen based creams on the joints? I've used them in the past and they can be quite useful.
Hope you find something that can ease your discomfort.
