Turmeric For Knee Pain

[Khandro]

The manufacturers make quite upbeat claims for their pills.

Has anyone tried them, did they work, or do they go on the shelf next to the snake oil ?

I would hesitate to take turmeric because of the contra indications. I saw the physio at my doctor's surgery about my knee pain and he gave me a steroid injection which has definitely improved things for me.

It's not the spice that's helpful.  It's circumin which is sound in turmeric. So you'd need to look for a supplement that is primarily circumin. I've been using one gor several months, and I'd say my experience is positive. And that's without taking the full dose.

pasta; Which one have you been using ?

[pastafreak]

Khandro...I've been using this since August. Pricey but seems more effective than the previous type that I'd tried (by solgar, an excellent brand but didn't work for me).
