OTCs: Do's & Don'ts

The pain caused by Osteoarthritis can leave many feeling desperate for relief and often reaching for their favorite over-the-counter pain reliever. However, if not used as directed, you could suddenly start to notice an increase in headaches, or the need to take these medications on a regular basis. These symptoms may be a sign that you're experiencing a negative cycle caused by the overuse of these medicines. If you feel like this may be happening to you, please be sure to speak with an expert to get a formal diagnosis and understanding of this condition.

Don't just take our word for it! The Arthritis Foundation has a quiz available on their website, so you can test your knowledge on the potential consequences of OTCs.
