My wife has quite painful bursitis in her right hip along with her osteo arthritis in many of her joints especially nodules of the finger joints. She is still a young women & has tried many of the holistic methods such as glucosamine with condritin, msm, tylenol arthritis etc without much relief. Controlling her bursitis pain would be a huge help...Any suggestions. Thanks :)

Hi dengram,

bursitis can be very painful indeed, but it is often a temporary condition. However, osteoarthritis is not temporary (i have had osteoarthritis for several years) and, while it is something that will affect most people by the time they are fifty, it can start at a much younger age.


For more info, take a look at my website.

Many arthritis pains can be controlled with diet or at least greatly reduced.


I have seen hundreds of arthritis sufferers leave their pain and pain killers behind just by changing to a healthier more natural diet and removing things like dairy and wheat products from the diet.


Lately I have seen this process sped up by adding acidophilus from the health food store to your daily regime after each meal.
