Pernaton’s Green Lipped Mussels Extract
Thanks Pernaton Cream for letting me test your free gel!

For 2 months now, I got free big samples of Pernaton Gel: a cream useful when you have arthritis. Pernaton-Gel contains green lipped mussels extract. Green lipped mussels, a product from mother nature itself, came in my attention since green lipped mussels contain high doses of Glucosamine.

1 person out of 2 successfully uses glucosamine:

• to lubricate joints
• as a helpful osteoarthritis treatment

One Pernaton Green Lipped Mussel Gel was send to Malaysia, but since the Malaysian mail is slow and I was heading for Europe, I got a second gel in Europe. Just as well!

How is my arthritis finger?

2 months using Pernaton Green Lipped Mussel Gel, how is my arthritis finger?

• very seldom occurrence of the needle sharp pain that came on and of hasn’t come for a long time now!
• a constant pain at the background as if my finger is burning inside remains, yet get’s softened each time I apply the Pernaton Green Lipped Mussel Gel: it gives a cooling effect to my finger
• less strength in the top of my finger, which makes me drop utensils regularly: very unpractical when cooking in a kitchen

Main things is that I have the impression my finger’s arthritis is at least in a status quo.

I should now say for that:

let’s cross fingers …,
but really I would have loved to have a straight finger now…

That would be the million dollar cure…

For my arthritis treatment, I was expecting by mail a glucosamine gel. Yet the mailman in Malaysia must have arthritis as well, as I never got the "green lipped mussels" glucosamine cream. Luckily it will be re-send to me in Europe, this is what I call service!

Flexium Gel

Meanwhile almost running out of Reparil Gel and being sure my stay in Europe wouldn’t be damped by arthritis pain, I went to see my old doctor. He says: Reparil Gel? You better take Flexium Gel.

So I do

Although as far as I know, this Flexium gel is used for people with back pain or any other acute pain : muscle pain that is (not mussel pain )…

Glucosamine

Never mind, I am crossing fingers (that is keeping my crossed arthritis fingers straight…). Hopefully the requested Green Lipped Mussel Gel containing glucosamine will arrive soonest.

No green lipped mussels in Europe, yet in Holland they sell the famous Zeeuws-Vlaanderen Dutch black mussels, no idea if they are used in arthritis treatments.)

Arthritis Picture

Add my above arthritis picture to the X-ray of the previous posted arthritis picture to get a more clear idea of my osteo-arthritis. The "little bump" you see is some extra bone-growth on the right side of my finger.

But my not so straight arthritis finger is pointing to the gel I am using now in the first of hopefully not too many arthritis treatments: Reparil gel.

Horse Chestnut Supplement

Do you recognize the fresh fruit in the left picture? Right, it is chestnut. Do not get mixed up now: this is not the regular chestnut you can easily find people roasting next to the road in Malaysia (especially in Kuala Lumpur China town you will find one). Like pointed out in my Quick Dinner Recipes cooking site in my Horse Chestnut post:

Horse Chestnuts are not suitable for eating nor cooking.

Yet horse chestnut can be consumed in:

• horse chestnut supplement
• horse chestnut extract

And horse chestnut is also available in horse chestnut cream. Or as an ingredient in my Reparil Gel, yet in stead of writing the English name "Horse Chestnut", a Latin name "Aescin" is used.

Aescin

The horse chestnut seeds are the source of a saponin known as aescin.

Aescin:

• promotes circulation through the veins.
• fosters normal tone in the walls of the veins, thereby promoting return of blood to the heart.

In Europe chest nut supplements are popular for:

• the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and,
• the treatment of varicose veins.

Aescin also possesses anti-inflammatory properties… Only now my osteo-arthritis gets interested, yet it is not even clear if I really have an inflammation, so, as long as I don’t have the green lipped mussels gel shipped over, me stick with the horse chestnut cream and letting my finger rest as much as possible (which now means typing with 6 fingers…)

Arthritis picture of my left index finger

My arthritis symptoms started with a minor joint pain at the top joint of my left index finger (the finger I use for cutting garlic). As you can see on the arthritis picture above on the red arrows, the joint was swollen as well.

The X-ray clearly shows that the top bones are rubbing on each other. Obviously that is what is causing my constant yet minor joint pain. So it was not an inflammation as I wanted myself to believe in. Who want to acknowledge he has arthritis symptoms at 43? Not me! (He is a "grumpy stubborn blablabla" my wife would say…).

First thing my doctor gave me was some arthritis pain medication, which made me sleep like an angel…Yet when the pain medication was finished, the symptoms of arthritis were still there. I would have been too much an optimist to believe that the little bony growth causing my swollen joint would become smaller. It took me some time to get real actually: no swollen joint because of inflammation, yet because of osteoarthritis. Which maybe is good news after all, otherwise it could have been symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis…

Anyone having the same or similar arthritis symptoms
like me,
please leave a comment
what you tried for arthritis treatments.

I was recently diagnosed with arthritis symptoms in my left index finger. It turned out to be osteoarthritis. Now I surely don’t want to start arthritis pain medication as long as I can stand the pain and I can find a cure for my arthritis.

Arthritis Treatments

Arthritis treatments: which one really works? And is it really a good idea to straighten my finger in an operation? Not really the ideal cure when you are talking about your index finger and your profession is chef.

So I am on a quest to find arthritis treatments that work. How? By collecting free arthritis medication samples and testing them out on myself. I will write down the results of these arthritis treatments, so you can see which arthritis treatments do work. Yet always be reminded: a cure for me doesn’t mean a cure for everybody.
