Hello!
Hi there, I am new to the group, I have arthritis in both knees and a few months ago I started taking a turmeric supplement to help with inflammation as I had read testimonies from people who said it worked really well for them.....unfortunately, I had to stop as I developed a really bad pain in my back (ruq)....I had an mri as I had not made any connection and thought there was something wrong in that area. All was well and I stopped taking the turmeric and after some while the pain lessened. The pain came back in my right knee (the turmeric had really helped) so I tried again and the pain is back and even though I stopped them after only a couple of weeks, the pain is still here.. I know it took a while to settle last time so trying not to worry. Can I ask has anyone else had a similar experience with turmeric or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance....Dot

Hello @dotti17_cc and welcome to the forum, good to have you here
I can see that you have arthritis in both knees and have tried turmeric as an alternative anti-inflammatory but had side effects. Different people can have different side effects to drugs, either prescribed or alternative. I do hope that you can find something that will help you without any side effects. Our website contains many useful articles and you may find something to help you there, but try the following as a start.
Do please keep us informed about how you get on and whether other people have tried different things which may help you, hopefully others will share their experiences with you
With very best wishes
