    Rosehip is a natural help for joints.

    Magnesium oil spray helps my creaky knees.

    Sorry I have to type fast and press reply before the page starts reloading and I lose everything

    Sorry you having so much pain

    Have you tried those lavender bags you can warm in microwave or over the radiator. Good for the shoulders and neck or I guess you could place over knees when sitting.

    Take care Lou x

    Epsom salts (magnesium again!) baths with a few drops of lavender, rosemary or frankincense EO are very soothing for joint and muscle pains.

    Essential oils (good quality ones) are also very soothing and warming as a massage. I dilute them with sweet almond oil (used neat, many will irritate the skin). I find a mix of frankincense, myrrh and ginger oils work just as well as topical ibuprofen. I think the massage itself helps.

    All these things help with the pain but don't prevent it. Mornings are worst for me. I'm like the Tin Man before I get going. Miserable isn't it?!

    GM Everyone & Lou, ?

    I hav found tht [ TART Cherry Juice ] wrks wonders for joint pain, achy back, knees, inflammation etc- Look up its awesome benefits! You can purchase from a local Target or Rite-Aid (Sweet/Unsweet)

    I personally drink 6 ounce 2x's a day. I felt results within a day & was playfully karate chopping my boys the NEXT day😉

    Hope this works for you all as well!

    Feel Better Soon-

      I'm hearing good things about bone broth. Think I might try it. Think it must be organic meat though - no AB's or GMO feedstuff.

      It DOES work!  It is the gelatin in it.  I use the dry unflavored beef gelatin,  google it.  I use it often for periods at a time and it really does eliminate any pain.
