Someone who has migrating joint pain suffers either all over or joint by joint. Health care professionals have 2 classes for migrating joint pain; sub acute or acute. It is believed that the pain is a result of injury or sickness. Typically when someone has rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic, systemic, inflammatory condition), they agonize over migrating joint pain all over the body. Sometimes, the painful joints may only feel inflexible or tight. For example, this might occur only in the a.m. This can get really bad when it targets the joints of the wrists, knees, elbows, and ankles. As for systemic lupus erythematous, (an inflammatory infectious tissue disease that is similar to rheumatoid arthritis) migrating joint pain is frequent. One more cause for migrating joint pain can be metabolic. Negative metabolic conditions can cause single joint and or multi-joint pain. Don't forget about viruses such as the common cold, influenza, chicken pox, German measles, and herpes simplex, as they can leave many people with migrating joint pain too. Complications such as inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can cause different strains of arthritis affecting any or all areas of the body. Joints are typically inflamed when the digestive system is malfunctioning as it should. Inflammation as a result of migratory arthritis can continue for days or even weeks and only gets better, in the case of Crohns disease, when the autoimmune system works well.

There are quite a few other ailments that cause migrating joint pain but the real question is what can you do about it?

Migratory joint pain responds well with many different homeopathic herbal medicines. Actea spicata is an herb that has shown promising results with mitigating migrating joint pain in the lower extremities and hands, and with swelling and stiffness. Apis Mellifica, another healing herb, can be taken several times a day to lower joint pain and to eliminate inflammation. Arctium is also helpful. This herb targets nerve pain too. This herb needs to be taken throughout the day for best results.

Migrating joint pain can also be treated with Belladonna, but you should check with your physician first because of the special properties of this herb. This should be used only when the painful joints are also swollen and inflamed. Berberis vulgaris is a homeopathic remedy that will work with joint pain, and this herb works really well with knee joint pain. It is suggested to take this herb 4 times a day to get rid of pain once and for all.

For migrating joint pain that gets worse when you are active, Bryonia Alba taken three times every day can significantly improve your joint condition and eliminate discomfort. It is suggested that dulcamarta should be taken hourly for joint discomfort that is severe to mitigate discomfort. It has been found that Chamomilla works well on severe pain, making it possible for you to move again.

Migrating joint pain can ruin your everyday life. When the pain starts, every day activities become difficult chores that create a cycle that can result in even more pain.

If you are suffering from a lot of pain, it is really hard to move around. As a result, your idleness makes the joint discomfort, swelling and stiffness much worse. Exercise may help to keep the joints supple, but when we are hurting, many of us refuse to exercise, and this is a big error. Consult your physician about exercises that focus on migrating joint pain.

There are many options when it comes to finding supplements to reduce migrating joint pain. A good quality joint medicine will have glucosamine to help the body in rebuilding cartilage tissue, and antioxidants that will lessen damage from radicals.

Always consult your health care provider first when you commence any health program, especially with migrating joint pain.
