6B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 Three Ways To Relieve Arthritis Pain by Dr. Bob Arnot (NAPSI)—Over the course of my career as a physician, chief medical correspondent and war correspondent, I’ve been exposed to a wide variety of pain management drugs and approaches. One thing I’ve seen is that the United States is much more reli- ant on taking pills for pain than the rest of the world, where topical analgesics, physical therapy and other approaches are more wide- ly used. A problem with pills is that many of them come with side effects that can be severe, especially if the medications are used in greater quantities or for lon- ger than they’re supposed to be. That’s one reason for back, muscle and joint pains, I believe it’s best to start with topicals. What’s more, the Centers for Dis- ease Control, the American College of Rheumatology and other medical experts agree it’s a safer approach. Fortunately, if you are an arthritis sufferer and want effective relief, there are two topicals that are FDA approved the same way Ibuprofen, Naproxen So- dium and other prescrip- tion pain medicines have been through the demand- ing new drug application process. While both help relieve arthritis pain, it is important to know the dif- ferences between Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large and Voltaren Arthritis Pain gel. Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large was the 1st topical approved by the FDA and provides relief for up to 12 hours. It begins to work in one hour and can provide clinically mean- ingful pain relief in the fi rst day. Since it is a patch, the medicine is pre-measured and easy to apply. Not only does this patch help relieve arthritis pain, but it also works for back, muscle and joint pain as well. On the other hand, Vol- taren Arthritis Pain gel is not labeled for immediate relief and may take up to 7 days to help achieve relief. To apply this gel, you must fi rst measure out an amount based on a dosing card. Voltaren is effective for up to 6 hours and should only be used for arthritis pain. In addition to topical re- lief, joint and muscle pain can be treated with physi- cal therapy. It can keep stiff joints from getting stiff- er, reduce strain on joints during daily activities and help you get back to normal life without pain or diffi - culty. Also helpful are hot and cold compresses. Heat is good for joint stiffness and cold compresses can ease joint pain. Just remember, don’t apply heat to a joint that’s already hot. If you feel a burning sensation in your joint, cool it with the cold compresses. • Dr. Arnot is board cer- tifi ed in internal medicine and an award-winning journalist, author of twelve books on nutrition and health and host of the Dr. Danger reality TV series.
