Many people turn to an over the counter pain reliever to find joint pain relief.
While these might be effective for short-term relief of joint pain and stiffness,
such drugs can cause side effects that range from inconvenient to deadly:
  • Heart attack Stroke
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart failure from body swelling
  • Kidney problems including kidney failure
  • Bleeding and ulcers in the stomach and intestine
  • Low red blood cells (anemia)
  • Life-threatening skin or allergic reactions
  • Liver problems including liver failure
  • Asthma attacks in people who have asthma



Joint inflammation could be the culprit; joint inflammation affects about 1 in 5 U.S. adults and may be caused
by inflammation of the tissue lining the joints. Some signs of inflammation include:
  • Redness
  • Heat
  • Pain
  • Swelling
The physical and emotional toll of joint pain Other causes of joint pain – injury, diseases, prolonged abnormal
posture, sprains, strains and repetitive motion – can result in these same symptoms. And these symptoms of
inflammation can make everyday tasks difficult, if not impossible. Perhaps you have difficulty opening jars
or doing other common tasks you never used to think twice about. You may find sitting down or standing
up strenuous – even painful. Joint pain can affect your enjoyment of everyday life, and even affect your job.

Chronic joint pain can result in disability and limit what you can do at work. It can have an overall negative
impact on your ability to live a productive, fulfilling life. This in turn can cause depression, anxiety and feelings
of helplessness.

The dangers of drugs In a 2006 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 30% of adults
reported experiencing joint pain during the preceding 30 days: knee joint pain (18%), shoulder
joint pain (9%), finger joint pain (7%) and hip joint pain (7%).

Many people turn to an over the counter pain reliever to find joint pain relief. Oftentimes, this is a non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which works by blocking substances called prostaglandins that contribute
to inflammation and pain. While NSAIDs might be effective for short-term relief of joint pain and stiffness,
such drugs can cause side effects that range from inconvenient to deadly:
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart failure from body swelling
  • Kidney problems including kidney failure
  • Bleeding and ulcers in the stomach and intestine
  • Low red blood cells (anemia)
  • Life-threatening skin or allergic reactions
  • Liver problems including liver failure
  • Asthma attacks in people who have asthma
Other side effects
  • Stomach pain
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Gas
  • Heartburn
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
