I'm trying out curcumin for my back issues. So far it isn't working.


I can agree with all of this. It just appeared to be something related to the drugs because 1)it started happening after I started taking them, and 2)it is mentioned as a potential side effect.

However, the joint pain did start after I lost about 60 pounds in a very short period of time and I've wondered if that simply couldhave been a cause. Could it have been my body adjusting to those changes? Maybe that's just my crazy thinking, I dunno.

It could be completely unrelated. I know I've never had joint pain like this before. Sure I've had aches and pains before, but I was also carrying around almost 400 pounds, I expected my knees and hips to hurt. I've noticed my hip kills my when I lay on my side in the bed watching TV - never done that before. When I get up from sitting for a while, it's like my joints are tight, don't want to move. Maybe I just need to exercise and that will help - no idea. Seems counterproductive, but what do I know! Ha!

Of course the flip side is maybe I'm just getting old! Ha!
