Pain & Inflammation

Most everyday pain is either inflammatory (swelling and stiffness) or muscular (strain and overuse), and the two respond to different things. Getting that right is the difference between relief in a day and a niggle that drags on for weeks.

What to know before you choose
  • Anti-inflammatories work best taken with food, and taken regularly for a few days rather than only at the worst moment.
  • Topical gels put the medicine where the pain is, with far less reaching the rest of the body — a good first choice for a single sore joint.
  • Pain that wakes you at night, or lasts more than two weeks, is worth a conversation rather than another box.
