You might try doing what I did, completely change what you eat, and see if it helps with the pain at all. I think fish oil helps too, but I eat a lot of sardines/herring so I don't take extra any longer.

So where I used to eat beef, chicken, pork, I now eat lamb, fish, (a little pork), duck.

I suffer a lot with dairy unfortunately, so I'm almost at 100% avoidance with that. When I backslide, I suffer with arthritis, sinus problems, acne... and so on.


I've been eating salmon or sardines for breakfast for a while now, & I know I have to avoid dairy. I do eat a little cheese but I'm careful not to overdo it - too much pain. I avoid almonds as they cause digestive upsets for me - I eat pecans & walnuts. For some reason they aren't as "more-ish" as almonds are.
