Dear Teresa , so sorry your suffering so much pain , I've been there have been through doctors and chiropractors and acupuncture they help but even more so lifestyle changes choices you make by what you eat and drink helps even more especially ginger root either chewing some root fresh is best, add little honey and lemon to water add turmeric root too or just have lemon and honey with turmeric add little black pepper enhances turmeric properties , to enable you to get some relief from pain i don't know how you feel about things I've personally found it helps by adding more potassium into my lifestyle has helped alot my dearest precious Son is sports naturist he encouraged me to make changes swimming heals even if just gentle swim or walking in water , sea salt in your bath and adding to cooking is another thing helps , as is pineapple believe it or not( it's properties have something that helps better then painkillers and taste great too.) Carrot juice just half hour before food or potatoe juice is another protection helps alot chillies good too I've added them to home made soups add little cinnamon either to coffee if you are a coffee drinker or with chilly soups chilly con carne or fermented food even add to porridge if you eat or Add to smoothes either spinach and bananas with raspberries and add honey and cinnamon or strawberries Apple and cinnamon with bananas yummy too. . Hope at least some of this helps you to feel better. Kind regards swift
( everyone needs to stop drinking milk I've found helps better than anything ). Plant milk, rice milk ,and others help you can still have your goodness of milk without pain that goes with it sugar too it seems to be in everything you buy . Yet with all the goodness taken out, refined beyond any benefits. Molasses is much better if you need sweetness. It has goodness for balance eating. HUG from England hope you enjoy your day all from USA and beyond .
