@lioness I had been making "Golden Milk" a while ago and I am not sure if it did help with anything but it was a nice evening beverage. If I want to try it again I will need to check with my transplant team to see if turmeric is OK for me.
@mayofeb2020 I have always found cortisone shots to be very helpful if done by the right doctor. It was pretty random with doctors up here (southern NH) so I checked out some doctors in Boston and landed on one who hit the spot every time. Often they don't get it to the exact right spot and then it's no help. I was heavier when I found the doctor in Boston and the first thing he asked me was if the doctors had used a longer needle! I didn't think so, and he said that with patients "with extra padding" a longer needle was needed to get to the spot and he sure was right. I went to him numerous times and he always got it right, even after I lost weight and had less extra padding. Also, you could try going to a physiatrist. They do guided cortisone shots to ensure they do hit it right.
I would like to have a shot but at this point, I have fairly advanced osteoporosis which is primarily from having to take prednisone. I fear that cortisone, also being a steroid, could worsen the bones in my hip. I need to talk to my endocrinologist about that. I have a zoom appointment coming up this week.
I also had PT for my bursitis but did not find that to help much.
@faithwalker007 I am entering into this discussion quite late but I just want to express to you how much your message struck me. We take our health for granted so much and then hear about someone suffering every day. Entering this late, I am not aware of what problems you and your husband have but my hope for you is that you are able to somehow get some relief. I presume you have been to great doctors for help. Never give up. Hugs.

Hello Lioness, could you please tell me how much Turmeric/Curcumin (95%) you take daily? I 've been taking Turmeric/Curcumin (95%) for years but don't think it is helping. Maybe I' m not taking enough?
Hope you have some relief today and have a blessed day. Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower 😊🙏
