Many people use pain pills like aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or prescription pain pills to relieve these symptoms temporarily but doing so can come with significant risks to your good health. Pain medication may cause serious problems with your stomach, kidneys and liver. Juicing can be a powerful way to combat the inflammation and pain caused by any conditions.
