Chronic Joint Pain While Caring for Pets

Pointing the Finger at Pain

Of the 360 joints in the human body that may be susceptible to chronic pain, none may be less discussed than the finger joints. And that's perplexing, because while we can get along somewhat while suffering from shoulder or knee pain, finger pain prevents us from doing many of the vital small tasks that are required each day. With chronic finger pain, we may have difficulty tying our shoes, opening a jar, or even gripping the steering wheel of a car. Finger pain is often the result ...

A report from the New York University School of Medicine shows that extremely obese people who undergo surgery to restrict food intake are experiencing reduced knee pain. The study confirms what researchers and others have known for years, that is, excess weight can cause chronic joint pain, particularly in the knees and ankles.

Contrary to popular perception, many of the millions of Americans suffering from chronic joint pain are not elderly and merely victims of aging bones and cartilage. Some chronic joint pain casualties are caused by trauma such as an accident, or from repetitive motion, often originating in the workplace. Still, others develop joint pain through various diseases, some of which can be avoided, some of which cannot. One avoidable condition is Lyme disease which, according to the Centers...

In the early 1990's, physicians began increasing the number of prescriptions written for powerful opioids. They did this, among several key reasons, because they had been assured by pharma...
