Joint Pain

Best pain reliever for arthritis of the spine?

My husband has arthritis of the spine. With the cold weather, the pain intensifies. It is in the mid back, with pain radiating into the chest. He doesn't like to take prescription medications, so I was hoping someone could recommend either a natural supplement, or some type of pain relieving gel that he could try. He has had chest x-rays, EKG's and blood work, but all of these tests were normal. The only thing that shows up on x-rays is bone spurs of the spine.

1. Aleve is supposed to help back pain/
2. ouch i know that smarts.. i use ibeprophen 600 millagrams 2 times a day and it helps o;k;but with bone spurs he maybe should have something stronger good-luck
3. :You don't say his age or other health issues, so it's hard to give any advise. I would like to direct you to a website for a fruit juice that has shown effectiveness in relieving pain and inflamation. Go to www.mymangosteen.com/SChapman. Take the tour and look at the product. My phone number and email address are there if you want to talk...............
