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 />
