Well Kind of odd but me being the druggie I am, I felt bad hearing about how bad my grandma is in pain from her arthritis, so I thought I'd invest into any possibility of finding some sort of herb or something she could possibly take that was legal,and then I Immediatly remembered kratom and showed my grandafather links on it as well as dosage and a site I found on where to buy it cheap
Did I just do the wrong thing? I don't know much about kratom but I've heard great thing's about it, my grandma is taking many things right now here's the list
a product called Green Food ,she is off meyhadone ,now taking Loritab 2 a day ,ultraset 3 a day ,fish oil 3,00 mg a day,glucosamin1,200mg pluss a few other things.
Any suggestions? Did I do the right thing with kratom? What else would you suggest?

Do a google search on "cat's claw" and "arthritis". If you know her specific type of arthritis throw that in there too. Cats claw is supposed to be very, very good for inflamation.
"Osteoarthritis
Although few scientific studies have investigated the safety and usefulness of this herb, it has been used traditionally to treat osteoarthritis (OA). One study indicates that it may help relieve pain from knee OA without side effects.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Cat's claw has been suggested as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on its anti-inflammatory properties. One small study showed a positive effect when cat's claw was taken by people who were also taking sulfasalazine or hydroxychloroquine to treat RA. Although cat's claw may help reduce inflammation, there is no evidence it stops the progression of the disease."
The fish oil sounds good- don't know much about kratom and arthritis.

This is advice from someone who has Rheumatoid Arthritis:
It's a great bet, but sets her up for god awful addiction.
Tramadol (Ultracet without APAP) is her best bet. The dosage the doctors prescribe is often not enough. It usually takes around 150mg of Tramadol to resolve pain issues for me.
As far as pot goes.... Eh. It kinda helps take your mind off the pain, but it doesn't get rid of it by any means. Pot works much better for issues like stomach pain and nausea than it does for arthritis.

All these herbs suck ASS in comparison to cissus quandrangularis!!!
I used it when I hurt my shoulder weight lifting and now I can bench 315lbs again. I went from not being able to press the bar, to slapping three 45lb plates on each end... that is a great feat. You can't have a tendon/ligament repair "placebo".
I have my grandma on the stuff and it works wonders. Screw all other herbs, they'll do nothing really. I've taken damn near every popular herb under the sun for joints and tendons, and I've also "mega dosed" them with very poor results. Cissus is where it's at. You can even buy it in bulk with isolated ketosterones.
