Just started taking Turmeric a couple of weeks ago, mainly to see if it helps my generalized osterarthritis..I am a year out from my TKR, & take tramadol twice a day routinely..the last couple of days, I have completely forgotten to take my evening dose (tramadol) AND my operative knee is definitely working better, less stiffness & localized pain..also am noticing I am have much less GI "gurgling" after I eat...so, am hoping this will continue..I have not read many reasons ( actually one, they say to use caution with blood thinners..I assume being on Heparin or warfarin) not to take it & my PCP oks my taking it..

anyone else with improvement while taking it?

i've wanted to give tumeric a try for my arthritis and TKR that needs to be re-done!  How did you decide on a brand-there are so many!  Continued pain-free days for you....

What does your doctor say about this?

@Evie2004  I have been taking turmeric for years. I take it for inflammation, gouty arthritis.

Reading the original post in full would answer your question without having had to ask it.

450 mg daily..sounds a little low..I may increase it to twice daily

It has helped me, Quercumin Tumeric, I get it at A. This

specific brand made a difference. I still take 2 naproxen 

in am and pm.

Her physician approves, she just abbreviated it so you might have missed the initials PCP.

Glad it's helping you.

 I just ordered Andrew Lessman's when he was on last weekend.  My husband has some knee issues on occassion and I thought it would be good to add since Turmeric is touted as being so wonderful for a number of things, and I don't typically use in my cooking.  Please keep us posted.
