Joint Pain
Joint pain is an aching or pins and needles feeling in the joints. Many larger problems can come from simple joint pain, even cancer, although that’s extremely rare. Joint pain is nothing to be scared of unless it does end up being because of cancer, but then again that very rare. Joint pain is extremely common, usually all you need is rest.

Best Treatments for Joint Pain
At home, you can help your joint pain by avoiding any intense stress or pressure being put on your joint. You can try some small and simple exercises to strengthen your joint. You could also try an ice pack, to take down the swelling (if there is any swelling). If pain persists, you can get an over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as naproxen sodium (Aleve), Ibuprofen (Advil), or aspirin. If pain still persists or you believe your joint pain may be a sign of something worse, then you should contact Pegasus Pain Management to see what treatment is right for you.
