Migrating Joint Pain

By Margaret Savorente

Victims of migrating joint pain feel pain in multiple joints that either progress from joint to joint, or afflict multiple joints simultaneously at a time. Physicians define the types of pain as acute and sub acute and connect this condition to many kinds of illnesses or potential injury. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, those who suffer with this chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease.can feel migrating joint pain in many different areas of the body. In the beginning, the painful joints may only feel stiff intermittently. For example, pain will occur when the individual rises in the morning. This can progress to more constant pain, especially in the joints of the wrists, knees, elbows, and ankles. In regards to systemic lupus erythematous, which is an inflammatory infectious tissue disease that bears some similarities to rheumatoid arthritis, migrating joint pain is very common. Other causes of migrating joint pain can be metabolic. Metabolic disorders can cause monarticular (single-joint) and polyarticular (multi-joint) pain. In addition, viruses from the common cold and influenza to chicken pox, German measles, and herpes simplex can cause migrating joint pain. Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can lead to several different types of arthritis affecting any area of the body. Joints are typically sore when the digestive system is not working properly. Discomfort because of migratory arthritis can last for days or even weeks and tends to abate with the recession of overactive autoimmune activity.

There are quite a few other ailments that cause migrating joint pain but the real issue is what can you do about it?

Migratory joint pain can be treated using a number of different herbal remedies. Actea spicata is a natural herbal medicament that can reduce migrating joint pain in the feet and hands, and with any swelling and stiffness. Apis Mellifica, another potentially helpful remedy can be taken three times a day to help with joint pain and to reduce any inflammation. Arctium can also help. This herb supports aids in the reduction of nerve pain as well. This herb is taken every four hours to provide the best pain relief.

Health care providers believe that Belladonna can be very effective in treating migrating joint pain, but ask your doctor first. This herb is helpful when joints are inflamed and painful. Berberis vulgaris is a holistic remedy that lowers joint pain in the knees. It is suggested to take this more than once a day for best results.

If your migrating joint pain gets worse with exercise and movement, you may want to try a supplement with Bryonia Alba a few times a day to reduce your discomfort. Dulcamarta reportedly hones in on acute pain when taken frequently. Chamomilla is recommended to help get rid of stiffness.

Migrating joint pain can ruin your everyday life. When the pain starts, every day activities become difficult chores that create a cycle that can result in even more pain.

If you are suffering from a lot of pain, it is really hard to move around. As a result, your idleness makes the joint discomfort, swelling and stiffness much worse. Exercise may help to keep the joints supple, but when we are hurting, many of us refuse to exercise, and this is a big error. Consult your physician about exercises that focus on migrating joint pain.

There are many choices when it comes to supplements for healthy joints targeting migrating joint pain. A good quality joint remedy should have glucosamine to assist the body in rebuilding cartilage tissue, and antioxidants that will reduce free radical damage of tissue.

Don't forget to talk with your doctor first before you start a migrating joint pain treatment.
