Unfortunately, need or seek for arthritis back pain relief is now counting in millions just in USA we are talking about 20 million plus people affected with numerous different types of arthritis itself. Like for every medical conditions or disease we can distinguish three most common types of arthritis that is affecting most of people:

Rheumatoid arthritis;
It is recognized like autoimmune disease with consequence of chronic inflammation of the joints but it can also cause inflammation of the joint tissue and other organs in the body. This type of arthritis is a chronic or in other words it can last for years, however it can pass long time without having any symptoms but unfortunately this type of arthritis it presents typically a progressive illness with potential of causing functional disability and joint destruction;

Osteoarthritis;

It’s caused by collapse and loss of cartilage in joints and it is also called degenerative arthritis. This type of arthritis is most common and occurs as we age, males even before age 45 till females after age 55;

And Gout arthritis;

If uric acid overload in the body happens then it will occur condition called gout disease. It stands for one of the most painful types of arthritis. If it is diagnosed a chronic gout arthritis then it can lead to uric acid hard lumps around/in joints and bring to their destruction but also can lead to kidney stones and decrease function of kidney itself. The disease is very unpleasant and it manifests itself with painful arthritic attacks.

Common methods of getting relief:

Common practice is use of NSAIDs (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) like Vioxx – withdrawn from the U.S. market in 2004. – due to safety concerns of an increased risk of cardiovascular events -including heart attack and stroke;

then Bextra – withdrawn from the U.S. market in 2005 – due to safety concerns of an increased risk of cardiovascular events (including heart attack and stroke) and rare but serious skin reactions;

and Celebrex (at my knowledge still in use in U.S market).

Side Effects

All this medications mentioned above can cause undesirable side effects especially if used for a long period of time like heart attacks and stroke – already mentioned above as main reason of Vioxx and Bextra withdraws.

When is prescribed any of NSAIDs drugs for arthritis back pain relief for a lot of people will feel like a miracle but on a long run it will cause harmful side effects. Before taking any of these drugs you should be aware of risk of side effects they can cause.

For this kind of pain it can be used medications of group narcotic pain relievers such is Codeine or Vicodin. Unfortunately also this kind of medicine is not safe proof and those medicines have potential of people becoming addicted and also body with time will gain tolerance or body insensibility on drug dose which for consequence it will force patient to increase his dosage in order to get his pain relief.

Much better choice is to use medicines made on natural bases such is:

Glucosamine:

Glucosamine itself is body compound made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. This substance is used to produce glycosaminoglycan( a molecule used for cartilage repair and other body tissues). With aging process natural glucosamine production in body is slowing down. Glucosamine is often used for curing Osteoarthritis (type of arthritis);

Chondroitin:

Substance currently manufactured from natural sources like shark and beef cartilage or by synthetic means. Commonly used for curing Osteoarthritis;

Turmeric:

It presents one of nature’s most powerful healers. It can be used for a lot others disease but what we are interesting is that it can be used as a natural treatment for rheumatoid arthritis;

Arthrit-Eze:

Its intergradient consisting of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM and it can be used for restoring cartilage, reducing joint inflammation, swelling and stiffness.

You can also check out SAMe and MSM natural cures. Fish oil also present natural pain relief for rheumatoid arthritis.

Normally like every medicine therefore also medicine on natural basis mentioned above has some side effects and you should be well informed of it before taking these drugs.
