There's a lot of truth in what you said as gluten can be one of the biggest problems with joint pain

I personally suffered with bad knee pains for a few years and I was sure I needed surgery.
I saw the best orthopedic doctor in town and he said it's small bone spurs into my knee cap and I wouldn't need surgery.
He recommended Online Pharmacy Ibuprofen for 5 days and 20min a day on a stationary Bicycle at 90+ rpm to heat up and smooth out the spurs. Worked great.
Good luck.

At 21 I tore my cartilage, the pain persisted until I finally had a scan and was diagnosed with a floating piece in my knee.
I would be perfectly fine then my knee would give way in excruciating pain, I was told this was when it was jamming in the joint, 1st arthroscopy sorted that. At the same time I was told I had excessive wear to the joint and it'd probably need replacing in 10 years.
27 years later and a further 2 arthroscopies during that time, it's giving me all sort of grief again at the moment, in fact I couldn't drive for 17 weeks over summer, bang went all my fishing time, still can't kneel down.
My doc prescribes me Co-Dydramol, it sorts the pain but eventually the swelling prevents movement. After my 1st op I was also given Sodium Diclofenac which is great in the short term, and available as a gel, but it's not suitable long term.
If it wasn't for other more pressing health concerns I'd be chasing a replacement knee.....not sure I could catch it though at the mo

This is very true, I have two collapsed discs in the bottom of my spine and got told by the quacks not to lift anything over 3kg. Between 10-16 tablets a day for nearly ten years and I had had enough. I went to the gym and strengthened my whole body especially my core and I now take between 2-6 painkillers a week. The bad back is still there but nowhere near as bad as it was. I believe strength is the key.

You're right, strength is the key. And I'm pretty sure that your decision to go to the gym was really good. When I used to have problems with my joints, I was just applying creams with CBD oil from BlessedCBD, and that's it. It helped me relieve the pain a lot, and I think going to the gym was just what I needed to do as well.
