Try bee stings?
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18807725/
"Conclusion: Combined application of bee-venom therapy and medication is superior to simple use of medication in relieving RA, and when bee-sting therapy used, the commonly-taken doses of western medicines may be reduced, and the relapse rate gets lower."
Here are just a few, as always do your own research. Many have been studied and you can find the actual study abstracts online or find summaries of the studies. Do lots and lots of research then do some more.
turmeric with pepper & ginger
chondroitin
cherry juice/pills for gout flare ups (get a quality one they work)
MSM
cats claw
castor oil and or frankincense with a carrier oil- topically
comfrey- topically
apple cider vinegar ingested and topically (do not drink straight, add a shot or 2 in a glass of water add honey/sugar if you are not used to flavor. Drinking straight is not good for your teeth or throat) After awhile you will actually like this as a drink, try adding your capsaicin to it if you like)
coconut oil ingested & topically and mixed with other ingredients
capsaicin both ingested and they make topical or make your own
acupuncture
yoga
walking/moving
changes in diet- removing things that cause you inflammation

I think if you want to stay off of pharma drugs as long as possible you may have to find what works for you. Then it seems that one thing may quit working (just like pharma drugs) and you have to find something else. That isn't always the case, I knew someone that once they tried the cherry juice for their gout (after their doctor/drugs was of no help) they swore by it and said they would never be without it again. It was quite effective for them. Usually people resort to alternatives after big pharma/medical fail to help them or they just don't want to be on expensive meds for the rest of their life.
The placebo effect can be quite helpful. If you truly believe this drug or that will help you, your brain & body are quite capable of making chemicals that can ease pain. There are some good books on the placebo effect and don't forget the noceba effect as well.
All the best to you on your journey, hope it is pain free.
Thanks. Looking at ALL suggestions. Helpful. Will try them all. Much appreciated.
Waton, my dad had the hip surgery too in his 90’s local anesthesia only. Wow, it really stopped the pain and it went great. What a relief and improved his quality of life.
Uric acid support/cleanse (herbal combinations) seems to relieve pain for several hours, in my experience.
Have you tried moringa leaf powder? See the YouTube videos by Big Family Homestead for more information. The guy in the video claims to have cured rheumatoid arthritis and saved thousands of dollars by using moringa.
One of my granduncles has severe arthritis. He is on Tramadol. Requires a health contract and periodic review. It works indifferently at best, he says. But beyond this is an extreme narcotic and no life to speak of. So he forges on. At 80 he isn't concerned with addiction, he says.
I hope I'm more healthy at that age, assuming I live that long.
Anti inflammatory diet. When I go off and eat things I shouldn't, the pain immediately returns. I don't need medication if I eat right. Saves money and my liver.
how about shingels pain.?
