Now I'm interested in Tart Cherry capsules. I have residual (non-PMR) lower back pain but I'm told that I need a lumbar fusion for that.

I'm off prednisone and on Actemra which works infinitely better for me. My rheumatologist is able to consider other causes of pain since I no longer take prednisone. When investigating why I had uric acid kidney stones, a rather high uric acid blood level was discovered. My rheumatologist thought that maybe gout was "contributing to my residual pain." My uric acid level was treated for a while but I said I didn't feel any different. The treatment for gout was stopped even though my kidney stones all but disappeared. My rheumatologist deferred to a urologist who subsequently said my uric acid level "probably" should be treated by my GP.

My uric acid level is rather high again but it isn't being treated. Maybe I should take Tart Cherry just to see what happens. They sound delicious. I love cherry pie but maybe I should stick with the capsules!
