How to Deal With Body Joint Pain | Brian Yusem

Body Pain in the joints and muscles is common as we grow Age. The ligaments and tendons do not support our knees, elbows and ankles as they once did when we were in our teens and twenties. Body pain can be caused by overuse or age related disease and can become chronic joint pain if not attended to. Body Joint pain afflicts millions of people across the country and can be cause mobility issues at home and work.


If you suffer from normal aches and pains in your muscles and joints there are a few simple and common sense things you can do to help relieve the pain.

A heating pad or ice bag can be applied to your joints to help reduce inflammation and/or swelling.
Elevate and rest your affected limb as much as possible. Try not to aggravate the issue by continue to push the envelope and doing too much when you feel pain. Your body is telling you the affected area needs to heal from the stress.

Over the counter pain relievers will help reduce inflammation and reduce the pain.
Long term joint maintenance should be considered if you are prone to strains in your muscles and joints during exercise or other physical activity.

Low impact exercise like cycling or yoga can go a long way to strengthen your muscles and joints
Eating healthy and maintaining proper weight is always a good idea. The heavier you are the more likely you will suffer from arthritis type of conditions like gout.

Stay away from running or sports activities when your joints begin to ache. Try walking, until you are ready for more strenuous activities.

In summary, body joint pain is a normal condition of growing older, however, your approach to diets and exercise can reduce the onset of age related diseases that can cause chronic joint pain.
