Lexi Thompson’s choice for pain relief

Earlier today, the 11-time LPGA Tour winner posted a video on her Instagram handle on Osteoarthritis and how it impacts people in the U.S. The golfer shared an astonishing number, saying that 15 million adults in the US suffer from Osteoarthritis pain. 

Moreover, Thompson’s closest supporters, her family members, seem to be struggling with the same issue. As she stated, “My family is my biggest support system, so when I saw how OA (Osteoarthritis) impacted the daily lives of people I love, I knew I wanted to educate myself.”

In a world where the opioid epidemic is widespread, Thompson wanted a non-drug and non-opioid solution for the pain. After speaking to her doctor, she collaborated with Iovera, whose products use extreme cold to temporarily stop nerves from sending pain signals and provide relief.

Lexi has been playing for 13 years now, and throughout her career, injuries have been a thorn in her side. This year, it impacted her career significantly. In 2023, at the Chevron Championship, Lexi was seen taped up to her elbow. She shared that it was due to over-practicing and later shared that her inflammation had gotten the right treatment.

However, this is not the first time she has dealt with injuries. In 2018, Lexi had to withdraw from the Diamond Resorts Invitational because of a wrist ache. In the 2019 Solheim Cup, her back spasms contributed to an underwhelming performance. 

The two times LET winner was last seen playing at the Shriners Children’s Open making history as she came close to making the cut. Lexi has decided to take a break from the sport and enjoy Canada, but she will grace the greens again soon!
