Individuals who have migrating joint pain, suffer in joints all over their bodies all at once or joint by joint. Health care providers 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 tries to get up 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 illnesses 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 many other medical conditions that result in joint pain, but it is more important to learn what to do about it.

Migratory joint pain responds well with many different homeopathic herbal medicines. Actea spicata is an herb that has shown promising results with mitigating migrating joint pain in the lower extremities and hands, and with swelling and stiffness. Apis Mellifica, another healing herb, can be taken several times a day to lower joint pain and to eliminate inflammation. Arctium is also helpful. This herb targets nerve pain too. This herb needs to be taken throughout the day for best results.

Migrating joint pain can also be treated with Belladonna, but you should check with your doctor first because of the special properties of this herb. This should be taken only when the painful joints are also swollen and inflamed. Berberis vulgaris is a homeopathic remedy that will work with joint pain, and this herb works really well with knee joint pain. It is suggested to take this herb 4 times a day to get rid of pain once and for all.

When your migrating joint pain increases with activity, you may want to try a remedy with Bryonia Alba a few times a day to limit your discomfort. Reports show that Dulcamarta also works well when taken frequently for acute pain. Chamomilla is recommended to help you move more fluidly again.

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 discomfort.

When you are in a lot of pain, you can’t move as freely. In turn, when you don’t move, the joint discomfort, swelling and stiffness gets even worse. Exercise could help to keep the joints flexible, but when we are in pain, many of us won’t exercise at all, and this is a big mistake. Be sure to talk to your physician about exercises that target migrating joint pain.

There are other supplements which promote healthy joints while reducing migrating joint pain. A top joint supplement will contain glucosamine to help the body in its efforts to rebuild cartilage tissue, and antioxidants that will help the body fight against free radical damage to the body’s tissues.

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