Injuries can virtually guarantee that they\u2019ll occur more frequently.<\/p>\n<p>While you may require prescription medication to manage the pain and make flare ups easier to deal with, there are a number of viable over the counter medications that can work. A number of home remedies have a demonstrated track record of being effective, too.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of over the counter medications, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Motrin and Advil, both of which contain ibuprofen, aspirin, or Aleve, which contains naproxen, are good options. Taking Tylenol \u00a0(acetaminophen) is another good option for pain relief, but bear in mind that acetaminophen doesn\u2019t treat inflammation of an arthritis flare up; it just helps reduce the pain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where home remedies are concerned, a few of the more common options include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heat therapy to ease stiffness<\/li>\n<li>Massage therapy<\/li>\n<li>Breathing exercises which help to reduce stress<\/li>\n<li>Acupuncture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s also important, if you suffer from arthritis and are in the midst of a flare up, that you pace yourself and take frequent breaks as you\u2019re going about your day.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, none of the home remedies mentioned above will reduce your inflammation and swelling, but they can help make the flare-up easier to manage.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not taking prescription medications for your arthritis, it\u2019s important that you consult with your doctor before making use of over the counter medicines or home remedies. Of course, that\u2019s even more important if you are taking something prescribed by your doctor.\u00a0 Failure to do so could lead to complications that might make matters worse or give you a new problem you hadn\u2019t considered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-845 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/radianthealth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/injury-resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>Arthritis is no laughing matter and flare ups can happen at any time.\u00a0 The unpredictable nature of it makes it more insidious, and unfortunately, previous injuries make those flare ups &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3596"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3598,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3596\/revisions\/3598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
