Thanks for visiting my website. My name is Carlton Hill and I have become an expert on getting rid of joint pain. I live in Atlanta, GA. I’m in my late 40s and for more than 20 years suffered with debilitating joint pain. I was in a car accident in which I was hit from behind. Since that accident I endured excruciating pain in my neck and unbearable muscle spasms. I could barely turn my head from side-to-side and had difficulty lifting my head off my pillow when I got out of bed.

The prognosis from my doctor all those years ago was devastating. He said I had arthritis in spinal discs C5 and C6 in my neck. I was prescribed a muscle relaxant and prescription strength Motrin and Naproxen. Although the medication was effective to some degree it had some very unpleasant side effects. The muscle relaxant left me numb, drowsy and impaired. The Naproxen felt like it was eating holes in my stomach.

Rather than endure the extremely uncomfortable side effects of the medication I decided to stop taking it all together and tolerate the joint pain.

I was restricted from doing any heavy lifting or exercising with my upper body because it would aggravate my arthritic neck. So I joined a gym to try to keep from gaining too much weight. I enjoyed aerobic activity and riding the stationary bike, but I later developed knee problems from the constant repetitive motion of peddling the bike. My knees would click and grind as I walked up and down stairs and sometimes I would get sharp stabbing pains in them. I went to my doctor and was given another diagnosis: Patella Femoral Syndrome. I was given exercises to try to strengthen my knees and I would go through periods where they didn’t bother me, but more often than not they would start clicking and grinding again.
