Arthritis Pain

When your bones become stiff or “locked” it can be a painful experience.  If this has happened or continuously happens to you and you are in pain, then you should contact Pegasus pain management, because you may have arthritis.

In its simplest form, arthritis can be described as joint pain or inflammation that occurs more frequently in those who are 65 years of age and older, and often worsens with age. However, people of all ages can have arthritis, with more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children under the age of 18 affected by this disease in United States alone. Arthritis affects all races and genders, although it is more common among women than men. There is no cure for arthritis, and it can last years or even a lifetime, but there are some treatments that can improve quality of life.

Best Treatments for Arthritis Pain

The first step to treating arthritis is to see a doctor, often your primary care physician, to receive a proper diagnosis. Additional visits with a specialist may be required to discuss treatments, which may include changing your diet (such as switching to a low-carb diet), reducing swelling and dull pain with an ice pack, or using a heating pad to drain an infection in the skin. There are also therapies, such as hydrotherapy or acupuncture therapy.

However, some have severe pain with arthritis that doesn’t improve with these treatments. After consulting with your doctor, you may be prescribed certain medications such as immunosuppressive drugs, narcotics or steroids, or you may require surgery such as joint replacement. Pegasus Pain Management offers a variety of arthritis pain treatments to deal with the pain you are experiencing.
