Also your diet may be helping to contribute to your pain. Broccoli has properties closely akin to aspirin and Brussel sprouts or cabbage has great anti-inflammatory properties. If you don't like veggies or the taste you can try juicing and make yourself a smoothie or a juice mixture with veggies to help ease some of your discomfort. Try eating salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout, flax seeds and walnuts on a regular basis also. They have the good omega fats that will help with joint pain.
