Suggest Medication For Painful And Swollen Joints

What medication is good for the pain, swelling, burning of arthritis in knees, joints, back (in rainy, humid weather)? Cannot continue to take Tylenol or its products because of liver issues. Applying heat to the area helps immensely. Also, I have indigestion issues, so Celebrex is out-of-the question; at least a high dose of it. Please help! Thank you.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
For pain in joints aspecialy the knee, glucosamine group of medicines helps since it always comes with glucosamine with combination of anti inflammatory as well analgesics. So check the medicine as per combination I have mention above. Along with this do use frequently hot and cold pack to reduce inflammation and increase blood circulation as well to have soothing effect of heat. And do consult a physio therapist for proper exercise as well the treatment like ultrasound therapy which helps for this kind of condition.

Here you have not mention your other health issues but as per my practice I have seen when ever the patient comes with multiple joint pain it use to be related to auto immune inflammation disease or vitamin d as well calcium Deficiency. To have more idea on this talk to your orthopedic and take proper suggestion. Take Care.
