Couple of things you may want to check into. Turmeric and Cissus Quadrangularis. Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory with higher bio-availability when taken with Black Pepper. Cissus, will help with cartilage repair. Both are available on Amazon and elsewhere. Among other things I have an arthritic left-knee, and the combination of these two has been fantastic.  

This sounds like a great combination. I take Tumeric and L-Glutathione every day to curb some daily pain I have for the past few months and it has worked perfectly. 

hope you get less pain and take it easy :) good luck 

Thank you, me too.  

If you take Turmeric...add in that Black Pepper, it's even sold with this combination. The Black Pepper really gives it a boost. 

I gained a couple of pounds and my arthritis flared up. I'm on a mission too to get the weight off. I've heard good things aabout Turmeric. I find Yoga to be extremely beneficial for countering arthritis pain in my back. 

Kyolic brand Curcumin (the active agent in Tumeric) has many options with garlic and I believe black pepper for all types of ailments. I have tried many brands and am now taking a Swanson vitamins brand with a multivitamin every day. It has been working wonders and I stay energized with that and the right kinds of food. For arthritis flareups, try anti- inflammatory foods. 

There are some great resources on arthritis.org 

There is an extra powerful form of Turmeric called Circumin. It is very expensive. I take it daily with food. Hi, abbadabba! Many, many months since I have heard from you as I have been off here. I own a new townhouse condo now. My mom passed nearly two years ago, and I am self-publishing my first of many completed books in March. Be well, glad to see you on here. I am eating less and I need to exercise more too. I live in Westfield now, in western Mass.
