joint pains

I have had pain in my legs and knees for several years. I thought it was just because I was getting older. But, I got some information from my cousin last week that changed my mind about that. He was diagnosed with celiac disease, which is an autoimmune response to an allergy to gluten in wheat products. He described his symptoms, I also had many of the same symptoms. So, I took wheat products out of my diet last week. Before that time, I had to take pain releivers every day, and every night before I went to bed, because my legs hurt so bad I could not sleep. My knees hurt also when I walked. Now, after only four days of not eating products containing wheat, my legs dont hurt.

I would suggest to you that you do a google search of celiac, and gluten-free diet, and give it try. If you take wheat out of your diet for four days and you feel better, then you could have an allergy to wheat that is making you have the symptoms you describe. If you dont feel better after four days, you have lost nothing but a couple of opportunities to eat sandwiches. Good luck.

I also have o/a in my knees so much so that i am seeing a surgeon on friday...i find heat totally lessons the pain...i have heard of many different herbs helping, i took msn for awhile and it helped (i find them pretty expensive so i dont always have cash for them...)
