Does ivermectin help arthritis?

My joints have been really painful due to arthritis for many years now. I recently read online that Ivermectin might help with arthritis pain, is there any truth to this?

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug, so it has nothing to do with joint health or arthritis. For managing arthritis pain, a clean anti-inflammatory diet, mobility drills, and strength training under a good coach will actually help you build joint stability.

Don't waste your hard-earned money on unproven medicines like Ivermectin for joint pain. It is much better to spend Rs 1200 on an RA factor and Uric Acid blood test so you can get a proper, cost-effective prescription from an orthopedic doctor.

Ivermectin joint pain ke liye? Haan na, modern internet par log kuch bhi bolte hain aaj kal. It is actually for worm infections, joint swelling ke liye iska koi use nahi hai. Doctor ko dikhakar proper pain relief cream ya tablet lena hi sahi hai.

My knees used to ache terribly during winters and I tried all kinds of things. Trust me, massaging with warm sesame oil and ginger extract helps far better than taking strong oral medications like Ivermectin which are not even meant for arthritis.

Taking Ivermectin for arthritis is like putting engine oil in your tea—it's just the wrong formula! Stick to calcium, pain relief gels, and warm water fermentation instead of experimental worm medicines.

I know how exhausting and painful living with chronic arthritis is, and how desperate we get to try any medicine that claims to give relief. But please don't take Ivermectin; it won't help your joints and might cause unwanted side effects. Sending you lots of strength.
