The Turmeric alone has been more than sufficient for me. It does have a 30-60 day ramp up, but once saturated I went from 6-12 advils a day to zero and haven't taken one in four years or so.

Great! Keep it up.
Report back in 2029, please.
I should have made a distinction between staying in good climbing condition and staying strong. They are not necessarily the same.

71 and right hip said to need artificial....it was probably all that talus hopping down (ala Doug Robinson). I recommend treadmill set at 15% up (780' vert/mi) and you don't have to come down. Either that or hire a chopper to bring you down, like the rich guys. But, the good news for me is that biking seems to make it better. Go figure.

Is it the beers that make you feel 20 years younger or the shoes :)

Kumbachu, kombucha mushroom grown from sugar and strong black tea then strained and drunk every day.
You must make it yourself from a "scooby" and get a recipe for the tea on-line. See benefits at this link. http://draxe.com/7-reasons-drink-kombucha-everyday/
Also, my wife has arthritis in her hands and uses white willow capsules bought in health food store or on-line for reducing pain and getting better function. it's natural and effective. She paints and climbs. When her hands hurt she can't even belay. She takes it at the first signs of pain and that way it rarely get that bad much anymore.

Oxycodone gave some relief, but made me dizzy
My brother-in-law took this for some time after hip replacement and lost his sense of taste, apparently permanently.

Moose, leave that crap alone man. To add what Jgill said, Rush Limbaugh lost his hearing using it. Bad crap.

Omega-3 and keep the surrounding muscles strong.
In a healthy immune system, the normal inflammatory process repairs damage and protects the body from infections. But in arthritis and inflammatory diseases, an overactive immune response leads to tissue degradation. Serhan’s research showed that the same pathway that signals the start of inflammation also includes an off switch. Omega-3s convert into these more powerful compounds, putting the brakes on this active process and causing it to screech to a halt, says Serhan.

MegaRed for Joints! I have a level of chronic knee irritation...but that in stride, with a steady regimen of MegaRed for Joints a week in advance and weekly 1 minute toe touching stretches I went up and down Telescope Peak in a day+ for my 50th at the end of May. Knees felt the same before as after...

Moosie,
I got hit with sudden idiopathic deafness in one ear several years ago. The first question from the ER doc was if I'd taken Oxycontin. There are only a couple of thousand cases of this disease a year in the US. Most are from Oxycontin or other opiates (more than half), a small number from brain tumors, the remainder, no real clear cause, but in my case a virus ate my coclia.
Not only is going instantly deaf in one ear no fun, my balance was completely destroyed and took years to recover, (and not completely).
If Oxycontin makes your ears ring, STOP NOW! or it may be the only thing you'll ever hear again.

Moose, if it's hurting that bad, this is the critical question you, or anyone with those kinds of serious arthritic symptons need to ask themselves: DID YOU GET TESTED FOR LYME ? Remember that there is several varieties and not all of them show up on tests.
We're outdoors people, Lyme should be the prime thing examined anytime you start getting conditions serious enough to pop opiates.

Any orthopods in the crowd that might venture a guess of the causr of the following- pain in the inside of the elbow most pronounced when gripping and lifting heavy objects? Duration of over a month with no memorable event to mark its onset.

Well thanks for the quick diagnosis ZBrown.
I'll just shoot with the other hand for awhile.

When this thread started, I posted something about a regimen of bicycling and beer keeping me from trouble. But in fact I've encountered some really strange joint pain. I know exactly when it began, because I posted a TR about it here on ST. (http://www.supertopo.com/tr/One-leg-and-two-left-feet-Some-kind-of-trip-report/t11017n.html);
At that time it was a weird, anonymous event. Like "Huh? WTF? My leg don't work no more!" kind of thing.
And since the joint that hurt was the one I'd broken a decade earlier, I assumed it was something about all the metal in there that was causing the problem. And since it went away in a couple of days, I soon forgot about it.
But over the next two years, I got hit with crippling pain in random joints. Flare up out of nowhere, turn me into a vegetable, then be gone in two days. Shoulder. Wrist. Hand. Shoulder. Thumb...
Never lasts more than a day or two. And infrequent enough to be more of a pain in the ass than a real problem.
Since I believe it'll be gone in a day, I don't bother looking for any chemical relief, but it's pretty weird...

Medial epicondylitis usually caused by repetitive stress and strain to the muscles and tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow.

Thanks again Z. Icing, NSAIDS, resting the affected area is what Web MD recommeded. Ahh, the joys of aging when pains seemingly come from nowhere. Such is life.
