So many people suffer from joint pain which make their life miserable and stops them doing so many things that the rest of us take for granted! I am shocked by the number of people obviously suffering from joint pain whenever I go into my local town.
It looks like mysterious disease has come from space and afflicted millions!
This is such a common problem it puzzles me that more people have not found some kind of effective treatment. Pain killers give some relief that's for sure but you cannot keep taking them.
There are many natural treatments for joint pain so let's look at a few and see if these are any help.
The first joint pain remedy that comes to mind is glucosamine. This does sound like a drug but it is a natural part of the cartilage in the joint. We make our own glucosamine normally but as we get older somehow we get less effective at making enough. So using a glucosamine supplement is an obvious step, especially as it has a good history for effectiveness and few side effects.
The second remedy for joint pain is chondroitin. This is another safe and effective natural treatment and works well with glucosamine so they are often used together.
Anything else?
Yes we need all the usual anti-inflammatory vitamins and especially vitamin C and vitamin E to help us deal with the inflammation in the joint that is causing the pain.
Gentle exercise helps too. Get professional advice on this that suits your situation but mostly it is true that careful exercise helps healing.
Using these natural remedies may well be enough to stop the pain and help the joint recover and heal. It takes time though. It may take a couple of months for a seriously inflamed joint to heal so just popping a pill and getting annoyed at the lack of results after a week is not helpful!
And good professional advice is always recommended. You may get some very helpful advice that can help you get back to being active again and enjoying your freedom of movement. Joint pain is not forever there are safe and effective remedies.
