Joint pain, joint swelling and inflammation for me has been helped tremendously by using 4500mgs of turmeric daily (split into 3 doses), 4500mgs of ginger root (split into 3 doses) and acupuncture.
Before I started using acupuncture, I was using oxycodone and it wasn't doing much of anything (other than causing more issues!) and I wasn't about to use anything stronger. I always figure I had enough problems without adding to it by using the really high powered pain meds!!
Acupuncture is scientifically proven to help with pain, you just have to be sure to find a Practitioner who has had the right amount of training and the right kind of training to be effective enough to help with the stubborn paint that we deal with!
As far as finding a LLMD, what area do you live in?
