Anyone else get this much?

I have found that glucosamine helps but only after you've taken it for awhile. I also like epsalm salt baths with menthol to help relax my sore joints all over, including ribs.
I'm sorry you are hurting. |

Honestly, whenever I had this, I never used heat. It tends to make my inflammatory response worse and just ends up hurting worse than before hand. If I DO try heat, I normally try for moist heat (damp towel warmed up, KPad) rather than dry heat (heating pad).
I find that ice packs, or cold packs, help with pain from inflammation more than heat does. xo |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
