Taking Painkillers for Joint Pain? You Need to Read This First
Groundbreaking research reveals the hidden trigger behind morning stiffness, knee pain, and inflammation—take the 60-second quiz below to find out if you're affected.
If you wake up with stiff knees, struggle with joint pain, or find it harder to move like you used to, this could change everything.
Most people over 50 assume joint pain is just "part of getting older." But new research shows something far more surprising: your joint pain may have nothing to do with your joints at all.
The real culprit? Chronic, low-level inflammation that's been silently building in your body for years.
Dr. Helen Richardson, a UK-based nutritional scientist, explains it simply: "Think of inflammation like rust spreading through your body. It starts small—maybe from processed foods, stress, or common medications like ibuprofen. Over time, it settles into your joints, creating pain, stiffness, and swelling that won't go away."
This explains why painkillers only work temporarily. They numb the pain—but they don't address the inflammation causing it. In fact, regular use of NSAIDs can make the problem worse over time.
The solution isn't stronger medication. It's targeting the root cause of inflammation itself.
But here's what most people don't realize: everyone's inflammation triggers are different.
Your age, diet, activity level, and even the medications you take all affect what your body needs to reduce inflammation naturally and restore comfortable movement.
That's why a team of UK joint health experts created a quick 60-second quiz that identifies your specific inflammation risk factors—and creates a personalized plan to help you move freely again.
The quiz asks about your pain patterns, lifestyle, and daily habits—then generates a tailored report showing exactly what's causing your inflammation and how to address it naturally.
Over 12,000 UK adults have already taken the quiz. Most are stunned to discover they've been treating the symptom (pain) instead of the cause (inflammation) for years.
Your joints have supported you your entire life. Now it's time to return the favor.
