Many senior citizens suffer from chronic pain, and there are a number of different reasons. It's not unusual for older individuals to develop arthritis, where cartilage, the cushioning for the joints, breaks down, causing swelling, pain, and stiffness. Arthritis commonly affects the fingers, hips, knees, neck, hands, and elbows.
Most cases of arthritis are treated with anti-inflammatory meds, and there are several medications available for arthritis pain relief. Most are relatively safe; however no medication is completely free of side effects. Before taking any medication, talk with your doctor to formulate a medication plan for your specific pain symptoms.
Another form of chronic pain for seniors is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become extremely brittle and fragile. When an individual has osteoporosis, his or her bones can be broken very easily. When bones break, there is a tremendous amount of pain. Furthermore, if the bone doesn't heal properly, it can lead to chronic pain.
Prevention of osteoporosis is the best medicine. However, not all seniors have taken the proper path during their younger years to help prevent this disease. In turn, individuals turn to prescription medication to treat osteoporosis. According to many medical experts, "bisphosphonates are - by far - the most common medications prescribed for osteoporosis treatment." [1]
"Bisphosphonates slow the bone breakdown process. Healthy bones are in a state of continuous breakdown and rebuilding. As you get older, and especially after menopause when your estrogen levels decrease, the bone breakdown process accelerates. When bone rebuilding fails to keep pace, bones deteriorate and become weaker. Bisphosphonates basically put a brake on that. These drugs effectively preserve or maintain bone density during menopause - and decrease the risk of breaking a bone as a result of osteoporosis." [1]
Whether you're a senior and are suffering from chronic pain, or just looking for pain relief from minor aging symptoms, TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, may be what you're looking for. Nopalea™ is derived from the Nopal cactus, a desert superfruit that is loaded with betalains, a powerful and formerly rare antioxidants. Betalains are known as a natural and very powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient, one that fights inflammation and thus, helps to relieve chronic pain.
Before Nopalea™, the only way to get these rare betalains, was to take a trip to the Sonoran Desert. But now, they are available to the average person in the form of a terrific tasting drink. Nopalea™ is not sold in stores. Nopalea™ is only available from TriVita, and can be found by searching Google, of by clicking on the Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ link.
If you're a senior, and you suffer from chronic pain, and/or are looking for relief from your pain, ask your doctor if Nopalea™ is right for you. From what I've read and heard, there are no side effects, like with most medications.
