I hope you find some comfort soon, I had a friend who developed rheumatoid and colder winters made it worse, the only thing that really gave some relief to her was warmer weather and soaking in pool or hot tub, I don't know what med she had but I hope your doctor can help you.

I feel your pain brother, literally. My left knee was absolutely killing me for a few weeks now, right out of the blue, no obvious injury, just lots of debilitating pain. It sucks getting old, lol. At least for me, it is not arthritis, thank goodness. Get better soon my friend. If it gets too bad, look into stem cell therapy. There are a lot of good doctors in our area who provide those treatments.

Hi Mark. Hate to hear about your arthritis. I don't have arthritis, but a bad knee. I've been limping for a few years now. Take care brother.

[@EatCarbs]

I limp every day so I sympathize. Having pains is a real freakin pain. Thanks for watching brother.. I appreciate it

[@MarkKratzMC]

Thanks for the update about Tommy. He’s been sick for some time. RIP. Sorry about your leg. Of course the doctor will tell you to lose weight. You might look into shoe inserts. I was having a problem with my lower back, and after a few days it went away. Sometimes just a slight change in mechanics can do a lot to reduce pain.

[@EatCarbs]

I was sad to hear about Tommy.. he was a great guy. I already changed my diet so we'll see how it goes. Thanks for watching brother.. sorry to hear about your back

[@mullisoutdoors]

Dang Mark, sorry to hear about your leg man. Arthritis is some bad stuff, and double bad for someone who like to get outdoors. I hope your Dr can get you something to help. Love your videos brother!!

[@rainbowhiker]

Yo! At 77 y.o. I'm have problems like yours, as well Mark. I finally came to the conclusion, years ago, I HAVE TO CONTROL MY EATING. Cut ✂️ out sugars, things that turn into sugars, and regularly do light exercise, like cycling in a non-hilly area. I suppose that's why my channel moved away from hiking. It got harder for me, plus, I have to help my wife, who has her own challenges. It keeps me going, buddy, lowering my weight and blood sugar. // My sympathies to you for the loss of your friend. These times make one reflect. Peace be with you, my friend.

[@EatCarbs]

Lately I have been watching what goes in. That donut was the only sweet thing I've eaten lately. I did have some pizza for dinner last night though. Trying to avoid sweets and stuff.. which honestly. I haven't been enjoying for some time now. Thanks for watching brother

[@TheQuietLife60KAT]

I’m so sorry to hear that brother, but I surely understand it. I have a lot of arthritis all through me, and currently a pinched nerve in my right hip/leg. My upper leg is actually numb, but thank God I can still walk. I try to stay away from all meds if possible, because I’m very med sensitive. I take Aleve 2 times a day, most days, and I’ve had to adjust my diet for cholesterol, blood sugar, and BP (I take no medicine for any of it). It is extremely hard trying to figure it all out. I have lost weight thankfully. But daily pain is not good, as it wears on you. It’s darn frustrating. Gentle stretches, getting up and moving around is good, sitting/standing in moderation. I will say the I’ve had to have steroid shots in my knees, and steroids for my hip/leg. It helped get me on my feet again. But, this isn’t about me, it’s about you. I’m just an almost 65 year old female sharing what works for me, and I pray you get some relief soon brother. We love you brother and please take good care 🙏🏼 P.S. I wouldn’t be wearing a bicycle top either 😂 God Bless you!

[@LaconianConcepts]

Sorry to hear about your pain man. I’ve had back pain that sent me to the hospital before and I was able to strengthen my core and get off the meds. But turmeric does help (do it when you go to bed). Also try to stay off the ibuprofen during the day if you can and instead take it right before going to bed… you might find you don’t need it the next morning! But yeah, for a man’s build I wouldn’t take less than 600mg because you wouldn’t get the full effect. Anyway hope you feel better bro!

[@EatCarbs]

When the pains started I took ibuprofen before bed and didn't need it the next morning. Then the pains for worse and I end up taking some several times a day. I am also in the middle of making some diet changes as well. Thanks for watching brother

Sorry for the loss of your friend , my friend. Also sorry to hear about the pain issues , I have some in my back but no doubt in my mind nothing compared to what you suffer now. I injured my back sometime ago and for a while I was in extensive pain so I know what you're going through to a point and I can't imagine it for long periods. That woman's top might be cute lol , bearskins is suppose to be a good product so I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully the doctors can get you something to help, have you tried CBD Oils I have a friend who had hip issues ended up with a replacement and he found CBD was the best for his pain. Hope you find some relief my friend, have a great weekend.

[@EatCarbs]

Back pain sucks. I've pulled things or slept wrong and it's a real bitch. I tried CBD oils and I got nothing out of it. I still have it so maybe I can try it again. Thanks for watching brother

[@tuckerandi]

@@EatCarbs actually I was thinking I had another buddy who tried CBD oils and didn't do much, prednisone seems to be the only thing that works for him but it's hard on the system, so he uses it sparingly.

Mark, have you been following the political scene? RFKjr has presented a major glitch in the American food system, 1000 ingredients that are put into our food which are banned in many other countries, as a start to look into. I love a random doughnut as much as you, the best was a home fried doughnut cooked in bear fat. What I grew up with compared to today is not what it used to be, McDonald's french fries have 19 ingredients compared to the past when they had three, potatoes, tallow and salt. I have people/friends all around me that are now diabetic with glucose patches, something that was almost unheard of. We are being poisoned. I'm on my own personal journey now, I've had chronic underlaying infection for half my life, likely related to poor teeth and root cannels and mercury fillings, both of which are now on the mend and am seeing major improvements in my arthritic ailments, I'm almost 60 I've been through some crazy diets from a year as a total raw vegan to a number of years on keto and and still seeking what fits me. We are all different what works for one may not be exactly what another needs. Seek out some out of the box solutions and keep at it. As mentioned in other comments Dr Berry is a good fellow to start with. There are others too.

[@EatCarbs]

I firmly believe that we ARE being poisoned by the food we're given. When they add things so the food stays fresher, for longer. That's not good. They also charge more for fruits and veggies than they do for candy and cookies. They want is sick so Big Pharm can cash in. Thanks for watching brother

I've got rheumatoid arthritis Mark. I thought I'd let you know what works for me. I have codeine phosphate from my doctor but these supplements really help me. Here's my list of daily supplements. They work well for me. Sorry to hear you are suffering. I know what it's like. It is sad to lose another brother. As we get older these are sadly more frequent. Condolences to the family. There is nothing like a nice 🍩 to help the coffee go down. If it's rheumatoid then a DMARD through the specialist is really good but it has side effects. If it's osteo then it is just pain management sadly. Amanda has Osteo and I'm the Rheumatoid. It isn't a nice disease. You just put them out when you can Mark. We will still be here.
