oldbtstlshrp2, thank you for the well wishes. We'll have to research the turmeric supplement. The injections he got in his hands were painful but he's feeling better now. The only cream he might use would probably be unscented aspercreme.

Aspercreme works well for me for pain in my shoulders and thighs and has no harsh effects on skin.

Turmeric is not for everyone. I avoid it because it's high in oxalates and I have a reaction to it.
There are some warnings about the supplements, which are higher in dose than used in cooking. Some people are sensitive to it.
"Who should not take turmeric?
Doctors advise against some people taking turmeric, including:
pregnant people and those who are breastfeeding
people having chemotherapy
people with liver or bile duct problems
people taking anticoagulant or antidiabetic medications
people who had surgery within the past 2 weeks"

There are some medications listed that turmeric supplements should not be taken with at this link too.
