If you're reaching for pain relief balms or creams for your knees or back every single day, your body might be trying to tell you something important. These balms or creams may offer temporary relief, but they don’t address the real cause of the pain, whether it's arthritis, nerve issues, or a spinal problem. Ignoring persistent pain can worsen the condition over time. Consult an orthopaedic or pain management specialist to identify the root cause and for long-term solutions through medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, or advanced treatments if needed.
