Natural Remedies for Knee and Ankle Pain

I have had multiple injuries to my knees and ankles but at the age of 38 am starting to feel the effects of them.  I have throbbing pain periodically throughout the day.  When I wake up in the morning its pens and needles when I start moving.  Anyone have natural remedies that would help to ease the pain?

Pins and needles sounds like referred nerve pain, that usually comes from the back

I drink a small glass of pineapple juice everyday and also take a turmeric capsule once a day. Both are natural anti inflammatory

Question? Do you move around a lot at night? Or stay in the same spot that you fell asleep in.

It could be a circulation issue. You can try taking some advil before you fall asleep and see if the decreased pain means that you'll move around more at night and if the pins and needles isn't so strong. Or you could try a bed topper, pillows, etc. You can also make an point to change positions while you sleep.

(My ex husband had a back injury and he would sometimes have that happen to him. I started moving him (shoving him over....260 pounds dead weight) in his sleep, and he wouldn't have it in the morning.)

I have had 15 bilateral knee surgeries and a 16th on the left, its been rebuilt with a cadaver bone transplant. I have several chronic joint/bone/cartilage diseases. I've dealt with these since I was 17, for the last 31 years. I've never come up with any kind of decent natural remedy to control the pain.

I use a combo of meds, pool therapy, heat, tens unit, cortisone injections and Protien Rich Plasma Therapy.
