(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 02, 2015 ) Orlando, Florida -- Arthritis patients often manage their condition with the use of drugs such as NSAIDS, or with natural alternatives such as glucosamine. However, despite carefully practicing a healthy diet and lifestyle, some sufferers may still eventually require joint surgery.
As the decision to get surgery can be confusing and difficult, some experts have provided a guide to help sufferers make an informed choice. Although a healthcare professional may suggest that one is a good candidate for joint surgery, it is still the individual's choice to go in for surgery or not.
On their website, the Arthritis Foundation has provided some questions that prospective patients can ask themselves to determine whether or not surgery is the best option for them. These are basic questions and something that individuals can relate to in their daily lives.
"Many arthritis sufferers are understandably indecisive when it comes to determining whether or not surgery is the best option for them. However, the questions provided by the Arthritis Foundation can significantly help them make a wise and well-informed decision," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
According to the experts at the Arthritis Foundation, patients should ask themselves if they can reasonably live with the pain they are experiencing. They need to consider whether the pain is affecting their mood, relationships and daily life or if it places their health at risk. It is also imperative that sufferers ask themselves whether the stiffness and pain have gotten increasingly worse for the past year.
There are also other pain management options that could be helpful in saving people from unnecessary surgery. Among these methods are exercise, assistive devices, occupational therapy and natural supplements.
Many health experts believe that exhausting all other possibilities is important to achieve pain relief and manage the condition. Glucosamine supplements, for instance, are widely used by arthritis sufferers who believe they can provide pain relief and restore joint health (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
