How This Common Shower Mistake Could Be Making Your Joint Pain Worse 12

Sometimes when your body is sore and your joints ache, you might think a relaxing hot shower can provide a respite from your discomfort. Unfortunately, the opposite may be true.

There are certain scenarios and conditions where a relaxing shower can make your pain worse. First, let’s look at people struggling with painful inflammation in their joints.

Showering with Joint Inflammation

While a hot shower can help loosen up tight muscles, too much heat can make inflammation worse. That’s why people with joint inflammation are encouraged to shower with moderate temperatures. A little heat is fine, but too much fans the flames of inflammation.

Showering with Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is characterized by pain all over the body and extreme fatigue. If you’re feeling exhausted, a relaxing hot shower can make your fatigue worse. Then there’s the issue of temperature sensitivity. People with fibromyalgia often have nerve impairment, making them extra sensitive to extreme temperatures. This is why a hot shower can cause someone with fibromyalgia to “overheat”. This can lead to severe pain that feels like you got slammed between a car door.

Showering for too Long

We already covered how hot showers can increase inflammation and temperature extremes can increase pain. But standing too long in the shower can also make joint pain worse. Standing for too long in the same position puts more stress on your joints, not to mention, increases your risk of falling.

Regardless of your shower habits, there is a simple way to keep inflammation in check and relieve joint aches and stiffness.

It’s called Heal-n-Soothe®.
