Arthritis injections do NOTHING for pain? (Study)

If your arthritis pain is SO bad, there’s nothing you WON’T do to make the pain go away.

You’ll reach for greasy topicals… OTC pain killers…

Or even succumb to painful, tedious pain relief INJECTIONS!

Well, my friend, if you’re lining up to get poked and prodded with a needle for a little arthritis relief… only for the pain to keep COMING BACK…

I’m here to tell you why!

AND give you a natural solution that actually WORKS!

A new study published in the journal RMD Open doesn’t paint a rosy picture of arthritis-relieving pain injections.

In fact, this latest study says that joint injections of hyaluronate (a type of therapeutic lubricant) or steroids, and hydroxychloroquine tablets (a drug used to treat arthritis) weren’t any better than a placebo!

Ouch! (No pun intended.)

But, the data from the study did lead researchers to note that it should “raise questions about the evidence” that supports injection therapies and they recommended more studies on the practice.

It should also be noted that the findings were based on folks with osteoarthritis of the hand.

But, regardless of what KIND of arthritis you have, you don’t have to feel stuck with mainstream treatments…

Especially ones that are essentially INEFFECTIVE.

For example, there’s bromelain—a protein-digesting enzyme mixture derived from the stem, fruit, and juice of the PINEAPPLE plant.

Recent studies of folks with osteoarthritis of the knee and shoulder showed significant improvement in overall pain when they supplemented with 400 milligrams of bromelain twice daily.

Look for bromelain in pill or tablet form (or even as a topical cream). Most health food stores will carry it, as well as online retailers.

To fighting pain naturally,
