is orthogrit a painkiller - #24939

Zoey

I am really confused about this whole situation with Orthogrit. I had a knee injury from playing basketball last month, and my doctor recommended this "Orthogrit" stuff saying it might help. But honestly, I’m not sure if Orthogrit is a painkiller or what. I mean, I read some stuff online, and it seems like people are using it more for healing rather than just for pain relief!? I've been having this ongoing pain, especially after workouts, and doing some home remedies like turmeric and ginger, but I still feel stuck. I took it a bit and the pain didn’t go away instantly like with other painkillers I’ve tried. I guess I'm wondering, is Orthogrit a painkiller in the traditional sense or is it more like a supplement to help with recovery? Just feeling kind of lost, because I wanna know if I should keep trying it or go back to stronger pain relief options. Any advice from those who know about Orthogrit would be super helpful!! Thanks!

Orthogrit isn't typically classified as a conventional, quick-acting painkiller like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. It's more of a supplement designed to support joint health and perhaps aid in the healing process over time. If you're expecting it to have an immediate pain-relieving effect, it's understandable why it seems disappointing. Orthogrit is often recommended for its potential to support the structure and function of the joints, possibly helping with the recovery process post-injury. Considering your situation—experiencing knee pain after a basketball injury—it seems like your approach with turmeric and ginger could be beneficial. These are well-known in Ayurveda for their anti-inflammatory properties, which could help with pain relief and inflammation in the long term. However, immediate relief might not be their strong point either. You might want to consider integrating other Ayurvedic methods alongside Orthogrit. Applying a warm compress or using an Ayurvedic oil massage with Mahanarayana oil on the knee may provide temporary relief and support healing. Ensuring you have a balanced diet that nourishes your joints is also crucial. Foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids like flaxseeds and walnuts could be beneficial. In terms of lifestyle, make sure you're allowing adequate rest for your knee to heal and avoiding actions that could strain it further. Yoga can be a gentle way to maintain joint mobility without causing additional stress, but be mindful of poses that put pressure on your knees. If the pain continues to disrupt your functional and daily life, or if it worsens, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional who may recommend a different pain management strategy or further investigation. Balancing between immediate symptom relief and long-term joint health support would be key — so keep that in mind when choosing your treatment course.
