For those who know about my arthritic or painful joints on my hands, more on my right... well, I started taking Turmeric supplements: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DBTFO98/ref=sr_ph_1_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485978216&sr=sr-1&keywords=joint+pain

I've been doing this for almost a week. I take two pills twice a day, not what is recommended on the bottle. Well, I am happy to report that this stuff works!!!

I wake up without pain and I have full function of my hand. Not stiff and painful. I could hold the tooth brush in the mornings! During the day at work, I have no pain at all and my flexibility is back. Driving home, my hand don't go numb from holding or shifting the stick.

Yesterday, I took the 8lbs medical sand bag 8" sq., similar to the training aid sold online, and I was able to cup my hand underneath and take a full swing without pain or dropping the sand bag. Prior to taking the supplements, the bag would fall off my hand due to pain as my swing passed my hips. I could not hold on to it unless I took a short swing.

On Sunday, I bowled 6 or 7 games. Then when I got home, I cut shapes using the scissors for my 3 year daughter. In the past, the base of my thumb would be so painful that I can't use the scissors. My hand would be stiff as well.

I just thought I'd pass this on. I know many use OTC medication for inflammation and pain, maybe this supplement would be a better choice.

Mustard has turmeric doesn't it? Can I just eat a lot of hot dogs with mustard and onion and get the same effect?

Of course, eating a lot of hot dogs with mustard and onion could be one of the reasons for my sciatic nerve issue in the first place. 

Yes, but it's only to help the natural color of the mustard seeds. There isn't enough to help counteract the deadly effect of the poison that's in the hot dog.

Oscar Meyer, please say it ain't so!

Milo you're not helping!

76 and these mom and pop gas stations here have hot dogs for $2.50 for 2 any size. When the dogs leave the buns on each side, it's a damn good dog!

Is the McRib back?

Have you had the CostCo deal? A huge dog and a drink for $1.50

Can't beat that deal.

They need to make the McRib a permanent menu item in my opinion. 

Yes I have.....  I wish there was a drive thru....

If CostCo wasn't a circus, I would hit that up once a week! lol

Geting back to the original subject .. XRAY .. I'm very happy for you ..

Thanks Joe.. last week or so, I thought about not being able to bowl by the time I'm in my 50's. I just need to get back on track, train and eat eight.

FYI Cinnamon is a lot like turmeric in a similar way - it's also a natural anti-inflammatory.

I've heard that about cinnamon. I tried a cinnamon regimen several months ago. I had to stop, because it made my teeth hurt, constantly. I know.....weird...right?

Many people have unusual sensitivities. Maybe it was too high a dosage?

Yes! You are probably right! Anything in excess is not good for you. Probably should have just halved the dosage. Live an learn.

Did you find an alternative solution to the pain?
Maybe Jay's turmeric can be of help??

"...not one to fall for placebos..." 

I admit, I even laughed.

It's all in good fun!
