I agree with most of the info here, but would not use canola oil or margarine. I've used some cortisone injections but very limited. Haven't had one for a couple of years. Never done an epidural, had two scripts for this, but never did one. Probably never will.
They talk about Stem Cell Therapy and I know this one as well as PRP injections which work to regenerate joints. These are not insurance covered. I'm waiting for a windfall of money and then I'll go for the PRP. They talk about Strontium drug in Europe, and I've been using Strontium Citrate for help with bone health for a few years now. I use it every other day. It's otc and my recent bottle is Doctor's Best. On the off day for Strontium I take 250mg of calcium, some times 500mg. Every day I take higher dosing of magnesium in a complex form. Malate some times and glycinate, but magnesium is a constant in my life. http://www.health.harvard.edu/pain/n...arthritis-pain |

Thanks Caroline,
An interesting article. The bones in joint affected by OA often show changes. It's important this is addressed. Glad to see it's being addressed. Great basic foods list, too! I did not realize egg yolks are pro-inflammatory. I rarely eat eggs; yet, I know many people with inflammatory conditions eating eggs daily. I am sharing this article. Thanks so much sharing this. I enjoy your posts. With Gratitude, DejaVu |

There is some evidence that strontium ranelate (patented and sold as Protelos on prescription in some countries) can benefit people with with OA - this is an example; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25888851 .
However, use of it is a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events - see https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-updat...ovascular-risk . I doubt that the anion (ranelate) is important but the strontium probably is. There is no evidence that I can find that strontium citrate (available OTC) is of any benefit. See http://www.4bonehealth.org/do-you-re...-osteoporosis/ .

On eggs, I've heard so many pros and cons on the egg...yolks pro inflammation. I went thru a spell where I threw the yolks out and then said oh forget it, so I eat the whole egg.
I don't eat grains so I'm a protein person and eggs are in my diet. There are sites about the wonderful egg. I don't overdose, but don't avoid them. |

Caroline, I am with you as far as egg yolks are concerned.
They are good sources of protein, vitamins, essential fatty acids and trace minerals (see http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Egg_Yolk.html). A couple of boiled eggs, sourced (for ethical reasons) from a free-range farm, are often part of my breakfast.

Egg yolks have a very high level of choline in them. Choline is necessary for nerve cell wall repair, and for making acetylcholine which is an important neurotransmitter.
It is difficult to find other food sources to make up for egg yolks if people avoid them. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline Choline is involved in the methylation cycle too. Check out the diagram on the Oregon State Univ. link above.
