If you have chronic knee or joint pain, you probably feel the effects all day, every day. You may have arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, or an injury, but all these conditions involve painful inflammation, and all can hurt whether you are using the joint or not. Extended periods of stillness cause just as much discomfort, if not more.
That’s because your joints are designed to move and don’t really like being stationary. Moving them is actually good for healing, as long as you aren’t bearing too much weight or making the same repetitive motions that caused your injury in the first place. But how can you bring yourself to get up and move when you’re in so much pain?
Medication from your doctor can help, but you will be surprised by how much diet actually plays a part.
Try eating more of these 11 foods to relieve that joint pain naturally. They are all proven to support joint health, minimize pain, and help get you moving again.
