Joint Pain
Joint pain is a major concern for millions of people; it can affect one or more joints and can be caused by many types of injuries or conditions.
Common causes include but are not limited to:
- Unusual exertion or overuse, including strains and sprains
- Injury, including fracture
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon)
- Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid filled sacs that cushion and pad the bony prominences of the joints, allowing the muscles and tendons to move freely over the bone)
Non severe arthritic symptoms
The main symptoms of all forms of arthritis are stiffness, pain and restricted movement of the joints. Swelling, warmth and redness of the skin covering the joint may also occur. The pain of non-severe arthritic symptoms can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Pain relievers such as Anadin Ultra* (200mg Ibuprofen) or Anadin Ultra* Double Strength 400mg Capsules (400mg Ibuprofen) are effective for this type of pain and are available from your pharmacy.
Additional tips:
- Take a warm bath, which encourages relaxation
- Apply ice or a cold pack to the joints if they are swollen or painful
- Take gentle exercise to help avoid joint stiffness
Always read the label
