Supplements that help inflammed tendons, ligaments, soft tissue

Have you been around any kids with fifth's disease? In adults the symptoms can be arthritis-like. Some viruses can cause symptoms to linger and cause pain. Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus were 2 things I was tested for when I had symptoms similar to yours, but the tests came back negative. It took about 6 months and lots of Advil, but eventually went away. I take glucosamine /chondroition sulfate /msm and it's not really supposed to work on tendon issues, but I really believe I would have worse problems with the torn rotator cuff if I didn't take it. I also try to stay away from sugar as best I can, because it causes inflammation.Most fruit has anti-inflammatory properties, especially pineapple, and fruit with pits.

I have osteoarthritis and can't take the usual pain relievers because my Crohn's Disease has given me ulcers before. So instead my doc recommended glucosamine (with or without condroitin and/or MSM) and turmeric and ginger. It does seem to be working. I was having knife-like pains. Now I only get vague aches when the weather suddenly turns cold, and warm woolies over plus a workout to build up heat from inside tends to take care of those.
