I had to get to 60mg to help with the pain. That has been my "sweet spot" for quite a while, although I am told it may need to be increased at some point. I supplement with curcumin capsules 3Xday as I have multiple pain causes and cannot take NSAIDS. It's been working for quite a while now with regular stretching & exercise and extra mindfulness exercises on bad days.
I'm finding that controlling pain requires an orchestra, not a soloist.
