Arthritis Pain Relief

Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that occurs when the cartilage insulating the joints breaks down. With less protection, the joint area becomes irritated and inflamed, leading to chronic pain, swelling and stiffness. There are also other types including psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis. Although there is no cure for arthritis and physical therapy might not be ideal for all patients, it is possible to alleviate the symptoms like inflammation from swollen and painful joints to improve your quality of life and lifestyle with arthritis medication like creams. Over-the-counter medications like arthritis pain relief cream can be used as a part of an overall medical treatment plan for arthritis relief, and CVS makes it easy to buy them. Shop arthritis cream for hands, arthritis cream for knees , and other arthritis pain relief products.

The best treatment for your arthritis depends on whether it's inflammatory or osteoarthritis. Inflammatory forms of arthritis involve swelling and usually respond better to anti-inflammatory medicines, such as Aleve Arthritis Caps or CVS Health Naproxen. These products help reduce the swelling, allowing your joints to move more freely and with less pain.

Osteoarthritis is typically the result of age-related wear and tear on your cartilage, and swelling isn't often involved. Ibuprofen, naproxen and other anti-inflammatory medicines may still be effective because they also relieve other forms of pain, but this form of arthritis can also respond well to Tylenol, hot or cold therapy, and capsaicin creams. 

Rheumatoid arthritis often needs aggressive treatment, and your rheumatologist is the best person to consult for advice. Over-the-counter arthritis pain relief medications can usually play a part in your treatment, however, and might be an effective supplement to the slow-acting drugs prescribed for the condition. 

CVS Health Pain Relieving Diclofenac Gel and other anti-inflammatory creams can help provide targeted pain reduction for specific joints, making the condition easier to manage until prescription medications take effect. Compression gloves and knee support sleeves can help provide additional relief.

Arthritis creams absorb into the area surrounding a joint when applied to your skin, and this can help reduce pain. One of the key benefits of using an arthritis cream for pain relief is that it localizes the effect to areas that need it most to provide concentrated pain relief with less risk of side effects. Some creams, such as CVS Health Extra Strength Cold and Hot, provide heat or cooling for gentle symptom reduction.

Some effective drug-free ways to manage arthritis pain include turmeric supplements and fish oil pills. Turmeric reduces inflammation and may help soothe pain similarly to ibuprofen but with fewer side effects. Fish oil alleviates swelling and may help your joints glide smoothly during exercise. Your doctor can determine if either of these products is right for you.
