Does anyone else expirience bad joint pain and inflamtion that almost feels like growing pains, i get muscle pain and random bruises. I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations or remedies ? Any balms, lotions that will help? Does anyone ever take epsom salt baths? Does that help? Please let me know.
A hot bath with Epsom salt (like to add lavender to salt) good way to loosen muscles. Heating pads/blankets are another favorite for joint/muscle pain. You can also ask doc about voltaren gel. It's a topical nsaid (has measuring card so don't use more than 3200mg a day) is awesome too. Another favorite of mine is a dyi "no pain" ointment I make. Hope this helps.
Love epson salt baths. I usually do mine with lavender essential oils. I also do massages when I can and they help for me. Massages are sometimes tough for some though.
