Arthritis and inflammation affect many people. Depending on one's situation, icing an area can be helpful, espcecially after workouts. Many get relief from products like MSM Extreme™ that contain MSM, an organic sulfur compound, helpful to tendons and ligaments; glucosamine, responsible for cartilage formation; and chondroitin, an ingredient that stimulates synovial fluid which is the lubricant in joints. It's also important to not overwork a joint and be sure that it is adequately rested.
