I am in my 30s and am suddenly noticing that my knee is making popping sounds. I have not been the most physically active person, so I was not sure what these new sounds meant. I talked to a friend who recommended that I try Celadrin for at least a month and see if I noticed a difference. Well, let me tell you, I have noticed a difference. I do not hear as much of the snap, crackle, and pop when I go up and down the stairs. Just wanted to let other people know what a great product this is. I do feel better and have not noticed any side effects. I have even gotten my grandmother started on it and hope it relieves some of her joint pain.

After 60 years of being a busy lady I have had to slow down a bit. I have found a lot of relief from some supplements I have been taking, and have even been attending a Yoga class with my sister. We just had a wild hair one day when we saw that out senior citizens center was going to get a group started. It was a little awkward at first, but has become very rewarding and lots easier after a month of going pretty often. I am sure the Celadrin supplements have been helping, too. Even my sister has noticed a big difference in how I am feeling and decided to add Celadrin to her routine, also. I am moving (and sleeping) better all the time, so I am going to keep up with these new habits.

I was watching TV the other day when I saw some kid doing the robot dance. Seeing that took me back to my own childhood… and then it made me realize that that is how I must look every day. I have real issues with stiff and painful joints, and it's not pretty! For two weeks now I have been taking a new thing called Celadrin, and I am noticing that I have less pain. So far I have noticed that I can bend my knees a lot farther than I have been able to in quite some time, and can get up and down my stairs with a LOT less pain. Hopefully, I am looking a little less like a robot and a little more like my younger, more flexible self!

Diseases and injuries can strike the elbow. Elbow joint pain can affect you whether there is movement or not. The first thing is to evaluate why it is hurting. Usually one knows why their elbow joint hurts; whether the pain is caused by a disease or injury. Many times, the arm is placed in a sling to immobilize it, since resting the elbow from movement can keep it from hurting. Sometimes, pain in the elbow can result from problems in the shoulder or wrist. That’s why it’s a good idea to be evaluated and find out specifically what the problem is. After evaluation, you will know the cause of the elbow joint pain and can then follow up with some good research on your part to find the best treatment. Tuesday, 25 November 2008
Many people have found that joint pain can be relieved through heat—using heating pads that one can put on sore and aching muscles or joints to relieve pain. The comfort of the heating pad makes the joints feel better, as can the relaxed state that the heat can put you in. Heating pads are an inexpensive way to treat joint pain. They can be used anywhere on your body. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions, and make sure that you always put something between you and the heating pad—they can cause burns. There is also heat that you can receive from the pain patches that can be found over the counter at drug stores. They are very simple to use. You can put these patches anywhere you feel stiff and achy. People often choose these pain patches because you can be mobile and active while still getting the benefits of heat therapy.

In most cases bursitis is treated with nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory medication, rest, and sometimes therapy to minimize the pain and reduce the inflammation. Surgery is rarely done, but in some cases this may be the only option to relieve chronic joint pain if all other conservative treatment measures have been exhausted. Surgical removal of the knee bursae is called a bursectomy. When the walls of the bursa sac have thickened from chronic inflammation, a bursectomy may be recommended. Removing the entire bursa is usually an easy procedure and does not normally cause any long-lasting affects. If your physician has recommended surgery, it’s not the end of the world. After a short recovery, you should be back to normal and enjoying life again.

The most common practice for treating conditions such as an injured joint is a combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, or NSAIDs. These medicines, such as Motrin, Aleve, or ibuprofen, are recommended to reduce swelling and inflammation, but are NSAIDs safe for chronic joint pain?
If you are allergic to NSAIDs or have any of the side effects, perhaps you should consider alternative treatment such as supplements. There are many great products on the market that offer the same benefits of NSAIDs without the side affects.
