The Treatments: NSAIDs, Cox-II Inhibitors, Surgery, & glucosamine
Doctors
will often prescribe NSAIDs and COX-II inhibitors for joint
pain and arthritis sufferers. If you are taking these products,
you are putting yourself at a high risk for developing
serious side effects from heart disease to ulcers. These
products simply are not healthy for you.
In even
more serious cases, the doctor will often prescribe steroids.
However, steroids such as cortisone and opiates are not
only dangerous, they can be life threatening. These are
not a viable alternative either, and once again, all they
do is relieve the pain, but do nothing to tend to the disease.
In the
most severe cases of osteoarthritis, a doctor almost certainly
will be telling you that you will require steroid treatments.
Unfortunately, in the more severe cases they will often
be quick to say that terrible "S" word "surgery."
When
you are talking about joint surgery (typically--hip and
knee replacements) there are usually two end results. First
of all, no matter what you are told you will experience
limited mobility for the rest of your life after even the
most successful operations. Secondly, these "replacement" surgeries
do have a failure rate. Generally, they will last about
8-10 years at most and the surgery will have to be repeated.
However,
there is hope. The latest arthritis research has shown
that there are some very effective alternatives that have
no side effects, are completely safe, ease the pain and
tend to the disease. This supplement is glucosamine.
Recently,
glucosamine has been making a lot of headlines. glucosamine
is an over-the-counter dietary supplement that has been
shown to be effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis
and joint pain. glucosamine stimulates the production of
glycosaminoglycans (GAG's), the important proteins found
in cartilage plus proteoglycans, the water holding molecules
that make up the cartilage.
In the
next tip, I will discuss what to look for in a glucosamine
product.
