Drug Free Pain Relief<br />
The days of having to put up with the pain of arthritis could be over thanks<br />
to an injection-free, drug-free, joint-lubrication gel called FLEXISEQ.<br />
Around 10 million people in the UK have some kind of musculoskeletal<br />
condition which can stop sufferers enjoying an active lifestyle, but this gel is<br />
gaining considerable support from the medical profession and users alike.<br />
It works by seeping through the skin to form a lubricating layer on damaged<br />
cartilage, allowing users to enjoy a more active life - or enabling pain relief<br />
where analgesics can't be tolerated.<br />
According to Professor Philip Conaghan, who conducted a large clinical<br />
study on the safety and effectiveness of FLEXISEQ, there is "a huge unmet<br />
need for effective and safe analgesics for osteoarthritis."<br />
The manufacturers of this wonder gel tackle joint wear and tear head-on,<br />
providing additional joint lubrication to compensate for lubricating materials<br />
lost in worn-out joints.<br />
The result is improved mobility and reduced pain - as well as no need to<br />
rely on traditional painkillers such as paracetamol or Non Steroidal Anti<br />
Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen or diclofenac, which can<br />
cause an array of side effects.<br />
The Lancet reported that many people suffering with osteoarthritis could be<br />
at risk from significant gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects from<br />
these drugs, either making them difficult to use - or causing considerable<br />
health issues, which are thought to be to blame for 16,500 unnecessary<br />
deaths a year in the USA alone.<br />
Studies on FLEXISEQ have shown patients to benefit hugely from the use<br />
of the gel which reduces pain and stiffness while also improving overall joint<br />
function. It is well tolerated with the only adverse reaction being mild to<br />
moderate skin irritations that disappeared after continued use.<br />
For those who would like to try out the product without risking any adverse<br />
effects of reducing existing therapies, there are no interactions known with<br />
medicines. So it is safe to use in conjunction with other treatments.<br />
The original 'max strength' FLEXISEQ has been available in the UK for two<br />
years and now the new 'light' variant, FLEXISEQ Active has been introduced<br />
as a cost-effective solution developed to introduce joint pain sufferers<br />
to the benefits of Joint Lubrication Therapy.<br />
