Migrating Joint Pain Remedies

By Margaret Savorente

People who have migrating joint pain, suffer in joints from head to toe all at once or joint by joint. Health care practitioners classify joint pain as sub-acute or acute. This pain is thought to be caused by accidents or injury or illnesses. Oftentimes when someone has rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease), they suffer from migrating joint pain all over the body. At first, the inflamed joints may only feel stiff from time to time. For example, pain is bad when the person gets out of bed in the morning. This can result in really bad discomfort especially for the joints of the wrists, knees, elbows, and ankles. When discussing systemic lupus erythematous, (an inflammatory infectious tissue disease that bears some similarities to rheumatoid arthritis) migrating joint pain happens all the time. An additional reason for migrating joint pain can be metabolic. Metabolic problems can lead to single joint and or multi-joint pain. And, viruses such as the common cold, influenza, chicken pox, German measles, and herpes simplex can leave many people with migrating joint pain. Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can result in many different forms of arthritis affecting any or all areas of the body. Joints are typically inflamed when the digestive system is not functioning as it should. Inflammation as a result of migratory arthritis can go on for days or even weeks and tends to get better with proper autoimmune function.

There are lots of other illnesses that can cause migrating joint pain, but the real concern is how can you make it better.

Migratory joint pain can be reduced with many kinds of natural medicines. Actea spicata is a plant that has shown good results with lowering migrating joint pain in the lower extremities and hands, and with swelling and lack of suppleness. Apis Mellifica, another healing plant can be taken throughout day to get rid of joint pain and inflammation. Arctium is also beneficial. This herb focuses on nerve pain too. This herb needs to be taken a few times day for best results.

Health care providers believe that Belladonna can be very effective in treating migrating joint pain, but ask your doctor first. This herb is helpful when joints are inflamed and painful. Berberis vulgaris is a holistic remedy that lowers joint pain in the knees. It is suggested to take this more than once a day for best results.

If your migrating joint pain gets worse with exercise and movement, you may want to try a supplement with Bryonia Alba a few times a day to reduce your discomfort. Dulcamarta reportedly hones in on acute pain when taken frequently. Chamomilla is recommended to help get rid of stiffness.

Migrating joint pain can compromise every part of every day life. When this pain strikes, moving around and performing normal activities can become impossible, leading to a cycle that creates even more pain.

As a result of the discomfort and stiffness you do not move as much. When you limit your movement the joint pain, stiffness, and swelling becomes worse. Exercise can help for the joint to stay supple, but when movement hurts many of us wont use it, and this is a big mistake. Talk to your doctor about exercises that can help with migrating joint pain.

There are many options when it comes to finding supplements to reduce migrating joint pain. A good quality joint medicine will have glucosamine to help the body in rebuilding cartilage tissue, and antioxidants that will lessen damage from radicals.

Don't forget to talk with your doctor first before you start a migrating joint pain treatment. - 29951
