Any natural remedies for joint pain?

LM's answer is a good one. I also found comfrey cream great for pain relief.

The glucosamine combination takes 6-12 weeks to kick in, but it is worth it.

You probably already have a good diet if you're a runner, but consider increasing your intake of green leafy vegetables (bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, spinach), sweet potato, almonds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. And if you eat a lot of animal protein, substitute some with chickpeas and nuts.

Good luck. I hope you don't need the surgery.

Strengthening the leg muscles can help. Switching from running to bicycling is also a good move because there is much less stress on the legs during cycling.

However, you might want to read this before using alternative treatments:

I have found that glucosamine chondroitin msm pills work wonders for me. To lubricate the joints try Omega 3.

The regulated and responsible use of medical marijuana can severley reduce your levels of pain and return comfort and normality to everyday life. Talk to your doctor about a "reccomendation". Marijuana is natural. Comes from the earth. And god made it, if you are religious. Hope you feel better.
