I’m a guitar player with arthritis - had RA so badly could not play for quite some time. Finally kicked the RA and now just have the regular kind, esp. in R wrist/thumb joint. There is an Ayurvedic medicine for arthritis (and some other issues) that I used for the RA, it treats any arthritis type joint pain. I highly recommend it, I take is now and then when this joint gets painful. There are also oils that help, I described above how to make a castor oil pack.
Yogaraj Guggulu - I use the Banyan Botanicals and the Vadik Herbs brands, and prefer the bulk powder as it’s cheaper, here are some links.

I noticed you mentioned Diatomaceous earth - just a small warning. A few people get very constipated from it, most don’t. It is said to have many benefits, but only if you’re not one of the few that gets blocked up. Sadly, I am one of them.
Thank you so much for the links. Will definitely check them out. I only got halfway through this thread today, but will read some more before bed. I plan to be cautious about DE, some of the stories were pretty eye opening! Haha!
