Managing Joint Pain, Gout, and Bone Health: A Doctor's Perspective
Overview
MSK problems are the UK's leading cause of years lived with disability. Most are managed in primary care with medication, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes.
When to seek medical advice
See a GP for pain lasting more than six weeks, pain after injury that is not improving, or pain with red flags like fever, weight loss, bladder changes or severe numbness.
Available treatments
Options include paracetamol, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen), topical gels, codeine, neuropathic pain tablets, steroid injections, physiotherapy and, where needed, surgery.
What to expect
Most back pain improves within six weeks with activity and simple pain relief. Chronic conditions benefit from a multidisciplinary approach.
Self-care
Stay active, maintain a healthy weight, strengthen supporting muscles, use good workplace ergonomics and pace activity to avoid flare-ups.
