Everyone has occasional and temporary aches and discomfort. However, when discomfort in a joint starts to occur frequently or constantly, it’s time to take action. Regular, repeated, or ‘chronic’ joint discomfort can be a sign there’s permanent damage or some type of condition that requires attention. When there’s something wrong with regular joint function, it’s important to:
- Get the problem diagnosed
- Follow the recommendations of a medical professional
- Understand the facts about joint discomfort
- Consider lifestyle changes
- Maintain a positive outlook
- Pay close attention to diet
- Consider a dietary supplement
If you’re suffering from joint discomfort then you fully understand the frustrations. You may find it difficult to work effectively—or work at all. This can jeopardize your career and income. And joint discomfort can affect everyone from construction workers and medical professionals to administrative assistants and airline pilots.
Outside the work environment, you may find it difficult to enjoy regular activities like golf or dancing. Joint discomfort can affect every activity—even kicking a soccer ball with the children or grandchildren.
Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of people who suffer from joint discomfort can overcome the issues and successfully return to work and recreation—provided they are proactive and take positive and proven steps to regain and even improve flexibility and mobility.
Dealing with Joint Discomfort May Require Making Minor or Major Changes to Daily Life
Make a point to learn as much as possible about:
- Lifestyle changes including diet and exercise
- Quitting smoking
- Surgery
- Physical therapy
- Medication (prescription and over the counter)
- Alternative medicine
- Dietary supplements
- Counseling
- Family involvement
And consider how each of the above may be impacting your joints!
