Your body is a mysterious thing; sometimes you get pain or aches for no apparent reason, but your wellness is completely secure. However, sometimes there are pains which occur as a warning that something has gone seriously wrong, and you need immediate medical attention.
1. Jaw and Chest Aches – Sometimes, these aches, when accompanied by aching shoulders, can be a sign of a heart attack so stop what you are doing and seek medical attention immediately.
2. Lower Back Pain – Lower back pain is a sign of kidney troubles, such as a kidney stone, an infected kidney or even a severe UTI.
3. Severe Abdominal Pain – This can indicate a problem with your kidneys, uterus, pancreas, liver, lungs or worse, an appendicitis attack. There are so many possible causes that you should definitely get it checked.
4. Pain in the Calf Muscles – If you haven’t been working out, but experience this pain, you may have Deep Vein Thrombosis, or clots in veins that are putting pressure on proper blood circulation.
5. Burning in the Hands and Feet – If this occurs when you haven’t been sitting in a folded position, you might have peripheral neuropathy, or nerve damage. This can be caused by alcohol abuse, dehydration, diabetes or shingles, so it’s worth getting it checked out.
6. Vague, Unexplained Aches – Fibromyalgia heightens your sensitivity towards a pain or just a mere pressure, which means that you ache more often than before in your legs, head or back.
7. Testicular Pain – This could be hernia, cancer, testicular torsion or just an infection, but either way, you shouldn’t ignore it.
8. Severe Headaches – While headaches may not seem like a major health concern, those which descend suddenly and feel more like a thunderclap indicate that you may be having a Transient Ischemic Attack. If left untreated, this can result in a stroke.
9. Pelvic Pain – If you experience pelvic pains during intercourse, it may be a sign of pelvic inflammatory disease. This is a bacterial infection which causes inflammation in your uterus and fallopian tubes, and can occur due to uterine cancer.
10. Aching Joints – This seems like an inescapable part of life but the mysterious appearance of an ache could indicate that your well-being is at threat to osteoarthritis, hepatitis or rheumatoid arthritis.
For some, joint pain is as natural and normal as waking up and hitting the snooze button for the third time. The discomfort and aches that sit hand-in-hand with problems like osteoporosis and arthritis are not uncommon.
As you age, so does your body and this includes your joints and bones. Knowing that your body was not the same as it once was, it can be difficult to imagine how such aches can be prevented, when all the while, you can’t help but age little by little.
At least one-third of adults go through a bout of joint pain, with the majority finding complaints in the knees, hip or shoulder. Despite that, pain can happen anywhere, head to toe, some of which can be difficult to tolerate.
If you suffer from joint pains, you aren’t alone. It’s a very common occurrence, with a variety of ways to ease the pain. Here are a few ways to treat your joints at home:
- Protect the joint with a brace or wrap.
- Rest the joint and avoid activities that cause you pain.
- Ice the joint for about 15 minutes, several times each day.
- Compress the joint using an elastic wrap.
- Elevate the joint above the level of your heart.
Painkillers are also a good way to dull down the issues of joint aches. These can usually be found over-the-counter, but remember that discussing the problem with your doctor can make the decision of which to take far easier. These medicines can provide relief for moderate or severe pain with swelling in tow.
Remember that taking any medicine over a period of time can damage your health. The alternative to this is to use proper sports gear and training. By doing exercises such as swimming and bicycle rides, it takes the pressure off your body, whilst helping you to lose weight at the same time. Losing weight also helps to take the problem off your body. Avoid high-impact sports.
The path to achieving pain relief is an unsteady road, but worthy of your time. In the long-run, slowing the speed of which your body ages throughout the years can improve you, your physicality and even your temperament.
The question is – when do you start?
