Hand and Wrist Arthritis
Hand and wrist osteoarthritis is a common source of pain as you age.
Basically, everyday wear and tear damage your hand and wrist joints. The chances of you suffering hand arthritis increase if you have overstressed your hand joints or have experienced excessive weight-bearing activities eg boxers and gymnasts.
Research confirms that exercise is the best way of controlling arthritic pain, strengthening or loosening your joints. Ultimately, this will improve your everyday function.
However, sometimes the pain you suffer is too much to even start exercising. This is where a new natural wonder drug has proven very useful.
Glucosamine has been proven by researchers to ease arthritic pain and actually halt the progression of joint arthritis. This is the first tablet that has ever been proven to do both. The even better news is that glucosamine has virtually no side effects.
