Arthritis Joint Pain - Protecting Your Joints

By: Tara Smith

Arthritis, one of the most common disorders that can affect anyone is actually a complex disorder comprising several conditions, all of which sharing one common symptom: arthritis joint pain. There are over a hundred different types of arthritis joint pain but the most common are osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and gout.

Arthritis patients suffer from joint pain throughout their life, with the pain aggravating to be unbearable agony at times. Till recently doctors were of the opinion that most forms of arthritis are irreversible because it is impossible to grow back a cartilage. However, you can take a few steps in order to minimize the pain that is usually associated with this debilitating disease.

Age also causes toxic waste circulation in the blood. Moreover, dead cells and liquid accumulates in the various joints and causes inflammation and pain. If inflammation continues it causes damage to your joints. Sometimes, the cartilage coating on the bone ends wears down and the joints rub, bone to bone causing extreme pain.

In such cases, fatty acids provide lubrication for the joints, and help reducing the process of wear and tear, and reduce the inflammation and pain considerably. You can benefit from certain oils to reduce joint stiffness and pain.These are Borage Oil, Primrose Oil and NKO Oil.

By using fatty acids which provide lubrication for the joints, the joints will not wear down as much as a result less inflammation and less pain. Some recommend oils are Borage Oil, Primrose Oil and NKO Oil. You will benefit from these oils by feeling less joint stiffness and pain in the morning.

Save your weaker joints and use the strongest joint instead. For instance, you can carry things with your palm open. That way, you can distribute the weight equally over your forearm. Also, instead of lifting things off the counter or workbench, you can just slide them along the surface.

Avoid stressing your thumb and fingers by making a tight fist or holding items for too long. You can do this by holding a book, mug, or other things in the palm of your hand, instead of holding them with your fingers. If you've been reading a book for some time, use a book holder instead of continually supporting the book with your fingers.

Exercise those joints. If you suffer from arthritis, you may have to forsake freedom of motion to a large extent. The longer you suffer, the shorter range of movement you will have at your disposal. All you can and should do is to move your joints through their full pain-free range of motion. Do this at least once a day and observe the results.

Learn to understand arthritis joint pain. Of course, if you have arthritis, it is most likely that you will experience arthritis joint pain. However, try to distinguish between arthritis joint pain and the pain that comes from overusing a joint. When you are able to do this, you can determine what specific activity caused you joint pain and avoid doing it in the future.
