What can you do about sore joints?

lt depends on what the cause of the soreness is. if you suffer from a non inflammatory form of arthritis, strengthening the muscles around the joints. perhaps loosing some weight if the joints are in the feet knees or hips would be helpful and as a last resort the use of simple analgesics (pain killers) For inflammatory arthritis the inflammation needs to be brought under control with anti-inflammatory or disease modifying drugs that inhibit the immune systems reaction that cause the inflammation in the first place. Whatever you do you need to know what sort of arthritis you are dealing with.
