Answer 2

I have found what tends to work best is multiple ingredients formulas rather than a single ingredient. I take a formula which contains several ingredients that have been shown to aid in relief of joint pain. The product is called Nutracool. I have been using for about 3 years now. This product has been the only product that helps my knee pain especially when I have been on my feet for over 8 hours. The main ingredients of the Nutracool are:
Organic Emu Oil
Organic Aloe Vera
Quantum Silver
Metabolic MSM
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
Capsaicin
12 Homepathic Essential Oils
Organic St. Johns Wort Oil
Organic Helichrysum
Organic Lavender
Organic Blue Chamomile
Oregano Oil
Camphor Oil
Menthol Oil.
I have even given to my dad who is an avid long distance runner. He also suffers from hip and knee pain. You should consult your healthcare practitioner prior to adding any new supplement to your regimen.

Good luck, you have taken your first step to eliminating your pain.

Answer 4

Many medical studies have tried to isolate the effects of caffeine on arthritis. At least two of these studies were done in large populations and were well designed, but resulted in different conclusions. The first study, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, found that green tea (with caffeine) seemed to protect against development of RA, but that decaffeinated coffee seemed to increase the risk of its development. Interestingly, regular coffee with caffeine had no influence on RA's development. The second study, funded by the Arthritis Foundation, found little association between coffee, decaffeinated coffee, or tea consumption and risk of RA among women

Answer 5

Hot fomentation with hot water bag on affected joints is very useful and give a quick relief. Ayurvedic herbs like guggulu, rasna help a lot. Check this site for these herbal preparations
