Take NSAIDS

You can use over the counter NSAID (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs), such as Motrin or Tylenol, for mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain. Motrin and Tylenol are brand names but their generic name are Ibuprofen and acetaminophen, respectively. Ibuprofen is a stronger pain reliever than acetaminophen and is preferable for chronic diseases, such as arthritis. I don't know your age. Elderly people develop osteoarthritis, which is normal. If you are a young adult, it is likely your symptoms are associated with some physical exertion. If the pain persists (more than a week) or worsens then it is time to see your doctor.

Usually I'll take a hot shower or bath. A mild pain reliever can help too. Try Advil or Tylenol. Or if pain relievers aren't your thing you could try some mild streching. It could just be some mild arthistis or something got pulled slightly out of wack. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

The most common suppliment for joint pain is glucosamine and chondroitin . There is excellent info on them here:

They are usually combined in pill form and found most everywhere that sells suppliments. Be sure to read the 'What do I look for?' section.

I would use a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) such as Naproxen (Aleve) or Ibuprofin (Advil/Motrin). Both of these medications can cause severe stomach issues if you OD on them, so stick with the reccomended doses.
DO NOT TAKE MEDICAL ADVICE FROM THE INTERNET. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.

It might be best to check with your doctor. A lot of conditions including just being overtired make you feel this way. If they can figure out what is causing the pain, they can treat you better.

If it is arthritis aspirin will help. Tylenol and ibuprofen are not as effective with arthritis pain. Before starting aspirin make sure you don't suffer from bleeding disorders, ulcers or allergies.

Soak them in epsom salt water or get a magnetic braclet. I would suggest a SABONA they sell them at wal-mart. Good luck.

Anti-inflammatory meds and a nice long hot relaxing bath.
