Hello, I read your message and understood your medical problem. Before I run in my final conclusion, I need to know what other ailments, diseases or health conditions you have and what medications you take. Turmeric is proved to be very beneficial as a home remedy to treat many health conditions. It is used as an alternative to painkillers, antidepressants, chemo drugs, diabetes and cholesterol drugs and steroids. People successfully use it to treat their arthritis symptoms and IBS symptoms. There is some evidence suggesting that turmeric may decrease the effects of the immunosuppressant drugs. Also, turmeric must not be used if you take anticoagulants or other medications or supplements that have anti-platelet activity. Joint pain needs a complete scheme of treatment involving medications (oral painkillers or injections), physiotherapy, diet and patient education. I hope this is helpful for you. Wish fast recovery.
