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!
Del

I’m not at all familiar with Quercetin nor Bromelain. ..but perhaps should look closer about both.

I’ve only been handling this for two years but it just seems there could be a better solution somehow. Physical therapy was helpful recovering from surgery after the 6 infusions etc. but covid hit and that ended that...just not willing to accept having to constantly pace myself in order to keep the pain from escalating. It’s very frustrating.

You appear to have found relief....so I’ll look into it further.

Thank you,
CW
