I tried Curcumin/Turmeric. No relief for hip pain from arthritis. (took it for one year)

Tried Ginger. No relief. Again, one year.

Can't drink bourbon cuz I can't stop once I start.

Then I tried Glucosamine / Chondroitin /Methylsulfonylmethane. (1500/1500/500)

3 pills at the end of each day

80% pain relief after one month (one 90 count bottle)

If I'm on my feet all day like on a weekend or something, I will need ibu to knock back the soreness so I can sleep, but I have a desk job, so on my feet all day is not every day.

My orthopedic surgeon never suggested it, he just told me to take ibu. When I was up needing ibu 3 times a day, then it was time for a shot of corticosteroids. I could have three of those over time, then under the knife for a new hip, and my other hip would soon follow.

I'm not into woo-woo medicine at all, but I hate the idea of ibu every day for chronic pain, that's why I was willing to search out a more holistic approach.

I don't know if this will last, but the relief is real and I'm grateful for it....
