Not sure: Every medication has risk of side effects, depending on your condition. If you have pain all over, it would be good to know what you are dealing with. In any case, you might consider trying a mind-body therapy, such as hypnotherapy, to decrease overall pain.

Try natural approach: If you’d like to try a natural approach, tackle inflammation with high doses of curcumin and fish oil, while rebuilding cartilage with glucosamine sulfate and msm. Office-based natural therapies also help acute and chronic conditions. Our patients benefit immensely from platelet-rich plasma, infrared light, microcurrent, prolotherapy, high-intensity laser, and acupuncture.
