Well I’m not into taking medication at all. And can’t use the usual ones prescribed for consistent pain. So I endure. But it gets old and tiring.
I went to physical therapy which helped at first...until they said there was a certain amount of pain I’d have to live with.
First off caww, thank you for all you do here, love reading your posts and pictures.
That said, to the point...
I’ve been dealing with degenerative disease since my teens. I’m 55 now. Was in a motorcycle accident in 2009 which damaged my neck further but arthritis runs throughout my body; knees, elbows, hands but especially my back and neck.
I have tried everything up to and including cervical disc fusion 4 through 6.
I manage to get by with only NSAIDS and mostly only on the weekends to try and get some rest.
I am fairly active and used to exercise a lot but since Covid I don’t go to the gym any more.
Quercetin? I started taking it with Bromelain daily, about a year ago.
It occurred to me recently that I’m in the least arthritic pain that I’ve been in, in a very long time.
Coincidence? Perhaps. I’ve been in pain for so long I’ve forgotten what it’s like to not be.
So coincidence or not, I think I’ll keep taking it just in case.
My 2c.
Thanks again!
