Topical arthritis painkillers
If your arthritis arthritis pain is mild and only affects one or two joints, you may find that a cream, gel or spray arthritis pain reliever or other topical analgesic can be useful. Topical arthritis painkillers are creams, salves or gels that are spread on the skin and absorbed through the skin or act on the surface nerves. The active ingredients of topical arthritis painkillers include: Capsaicin, Camphor, eucalyptus oil and methol, and slicylates.
Capsaicin is found naturally in hot peppers, capsaicin is found in drug stores under the brand names of Capzasin-P, Zostrix, and other drugs. Capsaicin works by blocking the transmission of a arthritis pain-relaying substance called substance P to the brain.
Camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol are found in a variety of agents such as Arthricare, Eucalyptamint and Icy Hot amongst others. These substances are able to relieve arthritis pain by tricking the body to feel the coolness or heat of these agents. {Expand on the method the these use to reduce pain}
Salicylates is a substance available in Aspercreme, BenGay, and Flexal. Aspirin is made from salicylates. Salicylates are used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Most salicylates are also used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis (rheumatism), such as swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. Salicylates work by decreasing arthritis pain and inflammation.
These are merely a few examples the many forms of topical pain relievers that an arthritis sufferer can use when seeking a natural based arthritis pain relief. The primary ingredents in these types of pain relief compounds have been found effective in short term pain relief for a wide range of conditions including arthritis.
Summary
Nothing can cure osteoarthritis, but nutritional supplements, the application of or cold to affected joints, exercise, and weight loss can improve the function and flexibility of your joints, and perhaps even slow the progress of the disease. Conventional over-the-counter arthritis pain relievers, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, can be very helpful in decreasing joint arthritis pain, but they do produce side effects and can cause problems in long-term users.
Unfortunately, there is no way to cure arthritis. However, you can delay the onset by maintaining a healthy weight. Exercise regularly and eat a healthy and avoid repetitious movements that cause you arthritis pain.
