You may want to try an antiinflammatory such as motrin or naproxen sodium which is Aleve over the counter. Inflammation can cause stiffness in your joints. If you get no relief from this then you may want to consider seeing your doctor for a prescription strength medication. Celebrex or prescription strength Naproxen and other antiinflammatories are available with a prescription.

The best thing to do to relieve of stiff joints is to do regular excercises. This is a problem associated with age. When you grow old, the joints become brittle and you start suffering from stiff joints. If you can warm the joints you can get a lot of relief.

Stiff joints in the morning may be alleviated by using a heat source and aspirin. You should take a warm shower or bath (a bath will help more), preceded by a dose of aspirin. Aspirin is often taken by people with arthritis, which may be part of your issue.
