Is There anything to stop or slow down the onset of arthritis?

I am 52 and one of my finger knuckles is begining to hurt. I also have a pain in the joint of my big toe. My gran used to take a mixture of orange and cider vinegar ( I think ).
Is there anything that will help?

Answers:
As far as I'm aware, eat and drink healthily, and keep fit and active. Visit your doctor if that's practical and your local health food store for any suggestions they have. I swim as regularly as possible as this is good exercise without you having to weight bear on sore limbs. My husband takes EPA Fish Oil which we get from our local Holland & Barratt. It has omega 3 and 6 in it and can help muscle and joint pains/problems.
i have arthritis (ankylosing spondylitis) and is was so bad at one point that i had to give up manual work.I read about this product www.zinaxin.co.uk and have been using it now for about 4 years or more. It is phenomenal, i have put lots of people onto it and cannot recommend it enough. It is simply a blend of 2 types of ginger that stop inflammation in the body. It takes 2-3 weeks to get in your system but it really works well. Good luck
I had this happen recently do no assume its Arthritis , It could be Gout in your foot ? I had to have a blood test , still waiting on the results , But a good thing to take for joint problems is Glucosmine with Chondrotine.

i must first know which type of arthritis u are having.
Could it be rheumatoid,gout or simply wear and tear type of arthritis..
is there swellings,or just pain,is there any nodules around the joint?any deformation of the fingers?when pain occurs often?
in general u can apply the steriods cream for temporary to reduce
inflammation and pain..the best way to stop it is to find the possible cause of the inflammation.
Lubrication is what you need. Try cod liver oil capsules from Holland and barratt, in time this create an oily film around joints, its wont cure arthritis but it will help to keep your joints supple.
Not sure if there is anything specific in New York (;-) but I would recommend a combination of MSM, Glocosamine and Chondroitin. I take the latter too in patch form and MSM in tablet. Need to do this for six months to really feel the effect.

Good luck!
