Can Sun Bed Help In Relieving Spinal Arthritis Pain?
Diagnosed with arthiritis in my lower spine two weeks ago . I am in constant pain but find relief in a very hot bath or a hot water bottle, would a few minutes on a sun bed help. Would the heat from the bed penetrate into my spine to relieve it longer, and since the cold weather we have experienced the last few days have felt pain in my lower legs and arms. The only other relief I get is from painkillers, solpadol. sincerly Maggi Walne

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and I would like to say that if this is Arthritis changes then this is not such disease that can be treated with sun bed because with the helps of analgesic medicine one would get even best result than the sun bed, so in my opinion this would of course would give best placebo effect, take care and have nice day.
