Maybe it is better to visit a pharmacy as they have lots of experience and knowledge.

Watch that video about nettles which helps when you have arthritis problems at hands, knees, shoulder etc.

A couple of month ago my landlord, a farmer 65 years old, could not lift his arm anymore due to pain in his shoulder...

I advised him to rub the area of pain with stinging nettle every day and after one week he was pain free and could pruning his wines again without problem. He would not believe it in the first place, however he was so happy afterwards.
He tried everything from the pharmacy before without any result.

Plenty nettles normally grow near goat/sheep farms. Cut off their flowers as they don't do the job.

I take high strength turmeric and black pepper, I have done for a few years now.

A month or so ago, I did wonder if it was actually doing me any good, so I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks, needless to say, I went straight back onto it, when my pain suddenly increased big time.

I should say that if you are on serious blood thinners, e.g. Warfarin, you should not use it, that said I take a low strength aspirin every day.

I did consult my GP before taking turmeric, and his reply was 'if you can take a herb, rather than analgesics, go for it'.

Zivania - the Cypriot equivalent of WD 40. Rub it in or drink it, cures everything.
