The most painful type of arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a more painful and more disabling type of arthritis when compared to osteoarthritis as a result of it's inflammatory nature and potential for systemic effects.
Gout is also an extremely painful type of arthritis that is caused by a buildup, overflow and or the inability to process uric acid.
End stage arthritis is the severe stage of arthritis in which your joint cartilage is severely worn and leads to bone on bone contact which causes intense pain, stiffness and significantly reduce mobility.
End stage arthritis is also referred to as advanced or severe osteoarthritis, which occurs when the protective cartilage between your bones in a joint have been almost completely worn away.
The safest anti-inflammatory drug for arthritis is Tylenol also known as acetaminophen or topical NSAIDS such as diclofenac gel.
Naproxen can also be good and safe for arthritis as naproxen tends to have a lower risk of cardiovascular events when compared to other NSAIDS.
The fastest way to relieve arthritis pain is to apply some heat or cold therapy such as with a heating pad or ice pack.
Taking some over the counter pain relievers and doing some gentle and low impact exercises can also help relieve arthritis pain.
Applying some heat such as by using a heating pad or taking a warm shower or warm bath can also help to relax your muscles and improve blood flow to the joints that are affected by arthritis and can ease pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Applying cold packs or ice to the inflamed joints can also reduce swelling and numb pain, especially during flareups or after exercise.
Alternating between hot and cold can also work to help relieve pain from arthritis.
Advil, Motrin and Tylenol as well as topical NSAIDS and topical pain relievers can also help relieve arthritis pain.
Taking Turmeric is also good for preventing and treating arthritis pain as well.
The amount of turmeric you should take daily for arthritis pain is 500 mg.
It is better to take turmeric in the morning with breakfast or shortly after eating breakfast as the food helps the body absorb the turmeric.
The best time to take turmeric for arthritis is shortly before you eat a meal or shortly after you eat a meal or have a large snack as food helps the body absorb turmeric.
You should also divide your daily dose of turmeric into 2 doses and take the turmeric doses 8 to 12 hours apart which will help to increase absorption and keep the turmeric levels steady in the body.
Turmeric does really help with arthritis and inflammation although taking turmeric and glucosamine together can provide better results and reduce inflammation.
Once you start taking turmeric for joint pain it takes around 8 weeks to 12 weeks for the turmeric to work for joint pain and to see the best results.
The turmeric can start working some by a few weeks but full effects and full joint pain relief can take up to 8 to 12 weeks.
For best results you should take turmeric and glucosamine as combining glucosamine and turmeric can provide a synergistic effect and enhance their individual properties and even improve overall management of pain.
Glucosamine which is a substance that is naturally found in our joints but rarely in our diets, is often taken in combination with chondroitin in dietary supplements.
However research has shown that it can be more beneficial when it's combined with turmeric instead.
