I stumbled upon someone suggesting collagen and bone broth. I tried the collagen and I was shocked that it took away most of my pain. I haven't even tried the bone broth yet. I use the Orgain brand 10g per day. If I skip a day I notice the difference.
Everyone is different and different things work for each person.
I like the dietary or OTC supplement approach as it's easier than dealing with docs. I was on celebrex which didn't work well.
I like naprosyn Rx best for pain and next best is OTC naproxen (Aleve). It is better long term use than other common drugs.
A topical CBD also works wonders - Green Roads muscle & joint relief.
I think stem cell treatment is coming along in this area.
It's also possible just getting daily exercise can help. Or losing weight to take stress off your joints.
I prefer a functional doctor who doesn't push Rx meds.
Good luck!
