My friend posted this. This is a must read if you suffer from osteoarthritis. Most of my family and friends know what a time I have with my feet! Every step is painful. I talked my radiation oncologist .I had treatments of low dose radiation. There are many studies validating this and my insurance (BCBS) approved it. I have had 5/6 treatments. Life changing! Surprisingly I started having relief after 3 treatments. I’m not totally pain free but it went from about a 9 (every afternoon after work) to a 2-3!!! Ya’ll!!!! I never dreamed it would work this fast! It should give me relief for a couple of years and can be repeated. I don’t know that we have a plan in place to start treating arthritis, bursitis and tendinitis (my elbows are next) but I will certainly post a follow up! I’m truly amazed at how well it has worked and I have one more to go! It is a total of 6 treatments over about 2 weeks. Please research it to see if it can help you! If you have tried this please share.

I have osteoarthritis in many different areas of my body so I know too well thr pain it can cause. I'm glad it worked for your friend but I am VERY leary sbout trying it on myself. Radiation treatment for arthritis pain? I think I'll be sticking with the tried and true methods. Radiation is too radical for me.
what is the tried & true that works?
I have a friend that’s an oncologist in Florida. He’s just written a book on this. Dr Brian Lawenda. He does low dose radiation all time now for numerous things.
How does it help?
