My wife had to have both knees operated on about a dozen years ago. There’s no cartilage left in them, it had worn down into what the surgeon described as ‘wet sand’. She got on that tumeric kick, and orders it online. She swears it helps. But she also takes Tramadol, so what the hell does she know, and how? LOL
Tramadol gave me horrid headaches but did nothing for the knee. Tried everything under the sun and nothing has helped. I KNOW it’s a torn meniscus or something along that line but the specialists poo poo it off as arthritis. Funny, I don’t think it’s arthritis when you’re fine and suddenly your knee snaps and you’re in constant pain. The knee cap did a free floating thing for 8-9 years until I finally did some muscle tightening on my own and it not pretty much stays in one place but it slips out every so often. But that hasn’t reduced the pain. You can see exactly where the injury is because there’s a constant bruise and little broken blood vessels.
