She suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and her knees ended up getting septic arthritis. She can't even straighten her legs fully anymore and is in constant pain that will not shift. She's tried all sorts of painkillers and even cannabis, no joy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily enough I don't suffer with the knees just my hips with slight arthritis and lads i know reckon the knee replacements are a lot worse than the hip replacements that i have been told I might need at a later date.

mushroom 13,105 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Gnash is right.. in the meantime, eat lots of berries (blue, cran etc), Spices like ginger, turmeric (lots of it fresh or powder), chilies, cayenne pepper, black pepper, olive oil, coconut oil and glucosamine. fatty fish (anything rich in omega 3), dark chocolate (darker the better). Stay away from anything processed (meats, carbs), deep fried foods, seed oils. A diet change won't reverse arthritis but it will help slow the progression down mate My mum is riddled with it and with all my past broken bones it's in the post for me, so I heap the above into my daily diet. My favourite is a shake made with bananas, berries, ginger and fresh turmeric, topped up with water not milk. Loads of info and recipes online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
