Top 10 Anti-inflammatory Pills

I have pain all over my body in arms, back, legs, neck and hands, getting worse with each passing year. It's in my bones and joints. It goes from a scale of 1 to 10 and I stay at 7 to 9 most times. It hurts very bad and makes it hard to move around or sleep. I need to know what to do or get to help lower the swelling and pain down a little. Coldness sends it off the wall as for pain and temps going from 70 to low 30s kills me. I am a man of 60 years and have worked hard over the years but find it hard nowadays just to get up and move around. Had took anti-inflammatory pills over 15 years ago and it seemed to help. I think it had steroids in it. I am taking Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 10mg-325mg for the pain, but would steroids / anti inflammatory pills help?

Hello, Michael! How are you doing? I am so sorry that you are in so much pain.

There is no medication available in the U.S. that combines a steroid and an anti-inflammatory, due to FDA regulations, though a steroid alone can help with inflammation. The typical side effects are listed as possible including nausea, dizziness, headache, fluid retention, nervousness, and insomnia. Though they do require a prescription from your doctor.

Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted a doctor?
