BioMed - Bone and Joint Pain

Possible Causes:

While bone pain is most likely due to decreased bone density or an injury to your bone, it can also be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. Bone pain or tenderness can be the result of osteoarthritis, rickets, Paget’s disease, fractures, bone tumors, infections, an interruption in the blood supply or cancer. These conditions require immediate medical attention. If you have unexplained bone pain, do not ignore it. Make an appointment with your doctor to find out why.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which your bone mass is reduced to below what is considered normal. Age, hormonal changes and lack of physical activity are factors that contribute to decreasing bone density. This can increase your likelihood of developing bone fractures and suffering bone pain.

Treatment:

Treatment will vary according to your diagnosis. Any bone fractures or breaks must be addressed. If you are found to have any underlying conditions, such as osteoporosis or cancer, you will require a long-term treatment plan specific to that diagnosis.

Although commonly prescribed for bone pain relief, pill-based medications can cause side-effects. When medication is taken orally, it is absorbed into the bloodstream, exposing your tissues and organs to the medication before reaching the target of pain.

BioMed is an expert in the formulation of prescription-strength topical pain creams. Topical pain medications can be formulated to penetrate deep into the site of bone pain, minimizing systemic absorption and greatly reducing side effects. The cream can be applied on the skin, at the site of pain without traveling through the bloodstream. Here’s an example of a commonly prescribed BioMed formulation:
