So I have a bit of join pain (not severe) in my knees and elbows and have been to the doctors
and had a x-ray on the knees with no issues shown but I'm of the opinion that
x-rays are great for a severe case or heavy damage but not much else. Waiting for blood test results.

In my mind the doctors really will only treat this in one way with either NSAIDS like Naproxen or a joint cream like Diclofenac
but there would seem to be an alternative of traditional natural medicines like Turmeric Curcumin or Glucosamine.

The NSAIDS seem to have long term bad side effects like stomach ulcers etc..

Has anyone tried the traditional natural medicines route with success or is it just the multi billion pound industry with limited effectivness.
