What to do if i am getting pretty bad joint pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on: Location/past history. If you have pain in a single weight bearing joint (knee/hip/ankle) or in a joint which has a history of a prior injury then it's most likely Osteoarthritis. If there is pain in many of the small joints in your hands and feet then it could be a type of inflammatory arthritis. You could consider a 2 week trial with an OTC NSAID BUT if no significant improvements: see MD!!
