Combat joint pain naturally
FOR those suffering from osteoporosis and knee pain on both knees, standing for more than 10 minutes is an outstanding task as the knees will get swollen, red and warmth to the touch. To relieve the pain, some would opt for medications that works for the first two years.
During that period, those who suffer from knee pain can go about their daily routine with a slight but still bearable pain. However, it takes up to 12 pills a day that includes calcium, magnesium pills, painkillers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Usually towards the end of the years, orthopaedics would recommend changing to a new medication, as some sufferers who have taken blood tests show inflammation on both kidney and liver due to the use of NSAIDs.
This may sound like going back to square one but with the new medication, pain would have been lessened to a bearable threshold, with occasionally painkillers added on to get by and taking in about eight pills per day.
However, the pain would be back with excruciating pain like poking needles on the knees even with slight walking. This is when one is diagnosed with
osteoarthritis, which is relieved with swimming, stationary bicycling, stretching exercises and physiotherapy.
Yet sufferers would find it a tedious task getting up and down the stairs and their knees would no longer bend. They could probably only bear short walks.
In the US, a new ingredient called undenatured type II collagen had undergone human clinical trials and are not available commercially and available through some orthopaedics on a trial basis.
