There are many different ways arthritis can affect your body. Arthritis not only affects joints, but certain kinds can also affect skin, nails and key internal organs. Both rheumatoid and juvenile arthritis are autoimmune diseases where the body’s immune system starts attacking the very body it is suppose to be protecting.

You might be interested to learn that most forms of arthritis occur 2-3 times more often in women with osteoarthritis being the most common found in both genders. Damage may occur in a joint at any time in a person’s life, but as we age, the body’s ability to repair and maintain homeostasis in the joint declines and all the damage isn’t fully repaired.

Most doctors still prescribe NSAID’s ( non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ) even with the knowledge of the possible side affects such as gastro-intestinal hemorrhage and kidney and liver failure. One of these NSAID’s, Vioxx, was removed from the market because it was found to cause heart attacks. Warnings against the uninterrupted use of these drugs abound even in the literature produced by the drug companies. However, both doctors and patients seeking relief from pain largely ignore the prohibition against chronic use.

The purpose of this article is to let you know there are alternatives to the dangerous drugs that are usually prescribed for arthritis patients. Many are seeing results they never thought possible and you can too. You may have to open your mind a little, though. There is a saying, one can never learn that which they think they already know. If you will open your mind to the possibility of a pain-free life, it could be yours.

Conclusion: Arthritis is a disease that affects a large portion of the population at some point in their life. That doesn’t have to mean a life of pain. Millions are finding relief from natural alternatives and avoiding the terrible side affects of both prescription and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs. Only you can make the decision to try them.
