Individuals who have migrating joint pain, suffer in joints all over their bodies 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 illness), they suffer from migrating joint pain all over the body. At first, the compromised joints may only feel stiff on and off. For example, pain is bad when the person gets out of bed in the morning. This can result in really bad pain 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 treated using several different herbal remedies. Actea spicata is a natural herbal medicament that can reduce migrating joint pain in the feet and hands, and with any swelling and stiffness. Apis Mellifica, another potentially helpful remedy can be taken three times a day to reduce joint pain and to reduce any inflammation. Arctium can also help. This herb supports aids in the reduction of nerve pain as well. This herb is taken four times a day to provide the best pain relief.
Migrating joint pain can also be treated with Belladonna, but you should check with your doctor first when using this herb. This should be used only when the painful joints are also swollen and red. Berberis vulgaris is a homeopathic medicine that will work with joint pain, and this herb works really well with knee joint pain. It is suggested to take this herb every four hours to get rid of pain and keep it gone.
For migrating joint pain that gets worse when you move, Bryonia Alba taken three times every day can really improve your joint condition and eliminate pain. It is suggested that dulcamarta should be taken on the hour for joint discomfort that is severe to relieve discomfort. It has been found that Chamomilla is effective with acute pain, making it possible for you to move again.
Migrating joint pain can disrupt your everyday life. If the pain strikes daily activities are impossible and this can make a cycle that will leave you with even more pain.
Because of the pain and stiffness you do not move as much. When you restrict 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 do not use it, and this is a big mistake. Talk to your health care provider about exercises that can help with migrating joint pain.
There are many choices when it comes to supplements for healthy joints targeting migrating joint pain. A good quality joint remedy should have glucosamine to assist the body in rebuilding cartilage tissue, and antioxidants that will reduce free radical damage of tissue.
Always consult your health care provider first when you commence any health program, especially with migrating joint pain.
