(Health-NewsWire.Net, October 06, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Today, many people are relying on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to achieve pain relief. This is especially true for individuals who suffer from arthritic conditions. The bad news is that a majority of these pharmaceutical drugs cause side effects, and this is something that people who use these medications are more likely to experience.
Pain relief medications are believed to increase the risk of stomach problems. Individuals who suffer from pain and inflammation and are using pain relief drugs are often more susceptible to these conditions. Examples of stomach problems are bleeding ulcers and stomach upset.
"The good news is that there are natural alternatives nowadays that are believed to be helpful to individuals with arthritis, and they include glucosamine supplements," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
According to WebMD, there are 20 traditional NSAIDs widely used by arthritis sufferers nowadays. While these pharmaceutical drugs are found to be helpful for reducing pain, they do not address the root cause of the problems caused by arthritis. What's even worse is that their use has been associated with side effects.
Robert Hoffman, D.O., rheumatologist from the University of Miami Miller, School of Medicine, explains how these pain relief medications can jeopardize the health of the GI tract in several ways. These medications are even believed to cause conditions such as gastritis, reflux disease, and bleeding ulcers.
To avoid experiencing these stomach problems, experts recommend that they take some measures that can reduce their risk of the conditions. For instance, they should only take the medications on a short term basis such as for 10 days. They should also be taken with food, a glass of water, or an antacid. It is also recommended that people should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, which increases the risk of stomach problems. NSAIDs are also taken best during the evening or afternoon.
These measures may or may not work for everyone. There are other pain management options such as natural alternatives that are believed to be helpful, especially among arthritis sufferers. Natural alternatives such as glucosamine are all-natural, and they contain therapeutic properties. In addition to providing pain relief, their use is also associated with a wide variety of health benefits.
Glucosamine supplements have long been used as a pain management option among arthritis sufferers. Individuals who have taken the natural alternative have reported some significant improvements not just in their pain, but also their mobility. Glucosamine is believed to be effective in repairing damaged joint cartilage (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
