Arthritis is one of the most common of all physical complaints, affecting more than 21 percent of American adults—and for a significant number of them, it causes such pain and functional impairment that it limits their daily activities.
If you suffer with arthritis, your doctor has probably offered you little beyond pain-relieving medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and aspirin. These drugs send more than 100,000 people to the hospital every year, primarily for gastrointestinal bleeding. COX-2 inhibitors are even worse. One drug in this class, Vioxx, was pulled off the market after it was linked to 160,000 heart attacks and strokes and 55,000 deaths. Another, Celebrex, is still being prescribed, but it’s also associated with serious cardiovascular side effects.
To add insult to injury, NSAIDs block the body’s mechanism for healing the joints and regenerating cartilage. In other words, while you might get some short-term relief from NSAIDs, these drugs tend to make your arthritis worse in the long run. And if you rely on acetaminophen (Tylenol), you could end up with serious liver or kidney damage.
