"The medication I take for gout regulates outbreaks for the most part. I still have one to two bouts of gout every year. I have a very sensitive stomach too. Because my stomach does not like oral pain relievers, I have to look for other ways to help ease the excruciating pain that occurs when I do have a gout attack. Sometimes I know when I am about to have an attack. I am proactive at those times and use Blue Emu Original on my toes and feet. Later when the attack causes more pain, I'll use the Menthol version instead of taking Tylenol, Aleve, or Advil" - Paul R. - Milwaukee, WI

Joint pain, or anthralgia can occur as a result of an injury to the ligaments, tendons, cartilage, or bursa surrounding the joints. Joint pain can also be a result of inflamed ligaments, cartilage, and bone in the joint. Infection, arthritis, and tumors can also be a cause of severe joint pain. Sometimes blood flow is restricted or cut off from a specific area within the joint causing joint pain. This condition is called osteochondritis dissecans and often limits the joint's natural range of motion.
