I had severe whip lash with neck and back injuries. the years have become harder and harder to deal with because of the constant pain. Went to ortho 2 years ago, he says I need knee replacement in the left knee for sure, there is arthur setting in and I am bone on bone....same with jaw ..he claims I am too young yet to have replacement..56 this dec. so, he gave me cortizone shots which did nearly nothing. I have been on crutches, used canes, knee braces, there are some days I would not get up as the pain was so bad. My knee would give out and I get shooting pain as if ice picks were stabbing me. On the scale of 1 to 10 (((( I was a 15 for sure on my bad days.
I went to a lecture halloween night at the green apple heath food store and let me tell you..that lecture changed my life. The topic was curcumin for pain and inflammation. I being a total skeptic sat through the lecture of about an hour. Decided to give it a whirl. I have been taking 2 a day on in the am one in the pm some times I would take 3 on a bad day. Two weeks to the day, I am now walking about 2 miles every other day and actually felt like I could run again...so I tried it. I am now pain free in my knees, sure I still have the problem with my knees, still nee replacement however the pain level is at a quiet 2 on a bad day..highly acceptable for me. I am a firm believer in this supplement it WORKS!!! Some people have instant results some take a bit longer like me 2 weeks to the day. I encourage you to read up on all the supplement in the Terry's Natural line at the health food store. If you are suffering with pain it is usually due to inflammation..get rid of the inflammation get rid of pain...I am in no way affiliated with Terry's naturally but I am a firm believer in this supplement as it has given me a few more years pain free until I am ready for knee replacement. Hope it helps you as well...now go GOOGLE curamin extra strength!!! happy healing barbara
This post is amazing. Thanks Barbara. I've googled and read a lot of information on the 'net. Side effects with Curcumin don't seem to be a problem, so for me, it's certainly worth a try!
