First of all, the most important thing for joint pain is to take painkillers, but it depends on the specific situation. It is necessary to determine what causes joint pain. If it is joint pain caused by trauma or severe muscle ligament tear, simple analgesic treatment may not be effective. Surgery may be needed to relieve the pain at this time. If it is a sprain or contusion caused by simple trauma, it can be relieved by ice compress, oral administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celebrex and Voltalin, or tramadol drugs such as Shuming and Zimandin.
Besides, it wasn't caused by trauma. For example, some problems such as arthritis should be treated according to the specific causes. If it is suppurative arthritis, it may need anti-inflammation, and anti-inflammatory drugs are antibiotics. If it is osteoarthritis, you can usually take painkillers.
