Almonds. My better half was a college-level athlete, and beat her knees up pretty badly during those years.

She has a palmful of almonds every day ; says it noticeably helps with her knee pain.

She isn't one to believe in any "quackery" either.

Their are other foods that help with pain and inflammation as well.

Food is medicine.

Take Care! Chris.

Ginger has helped inflammation for me. I take 2, 500mg capsules 3 times a day. This helps with pain. I still have general achiness, but if I keep up with stretching my muscles I am almost pain free. I have been taking 2 Tylenol before bed to help me rest and not feel so stiff when I wake up. I try to stay away from Advil etc.

Icey Hot always helps. The low odor one doesn't work as well.

I have osteoarthritis too, and fibromyalgia.

Your muscle pain could be from overuse of your muscles. I notice this too. Good luck finding something to help you.

I recently had to stop all non-essential supplements for a test the naturopath was running for mitochondrial disease (like I need another rare disease!). I was surprised how much my muscles and joints hurt, even within 8 hours.

That being said, I'm taking a bucket o' pills for various documented deficiencies. Maybe you can try something reasonably safe like a multi-vitamin to see if any deficiencies are then covered? I drink almond milk and recently found that my Vitamin E levels are finally normal without supplements and nuts are all I've used for years to fix that previous deficiency (from being an undiagnosed celiac).

Good luck
