Not much helps to be honest but I try not to sit for long periods no supplements for me they just dont work. I try to distract myself and not bore others with it.

Turmeric tablets twice a day they can be opened and have as a tea as well.Primrose oil every day I notice the difference when I stop taking them so they may be working.
When I get up first thing I sit on my dressing table chair and swing my legs back and forth to get moving then lunge against the kitchen worktops as told by my physio lady it eases the pain in my hip and the sciatica that I am prone to in cold weather.

Turmeric in my food - smoothie, curry etc at this stage of my life seems to keep it at bay. Also less alcohol.

I’m at the stage of guessing which bit will ache as I step out of bed - it’s usually the ankle or lower back, but just lately the sciatic nerve’s joined the party. I find 30 to 40 minutes exercising with Fabulous Fifties on YouTube gets me going. A bit of stretching, some balance and strength exercises, usually a bit of walking, and I’m ready for the day. I take a cod liver oil capsule daily as well.

Whether you walk every day, you’re a keen cyclist, or passionate about running, we all know how important it is to get outside in the open air, especially during lockdown. But if you suffer from joint pain it can be hard to motivate yourself to stay active. With this in mind, ]] would like to hear your tips for managing joint pain, particularly during winter.

Here’s what ]] has to say:

"GOPO® Joint Health is committed to helping the Nation feel limber at any age, and encourages a healthy and active lifestyle all year round. GOPO® Joint Health is a health food supplement range that contains 100% specially cultivated natural rosehip with a high level of the galactolipid compound known as GOPO®. It is rich in Vitamin C which contributes to the formation of collagen for the normal function of cartilage, the protective and connective component of joints. The newest addition to the range is GOPO® Joint Health Plus Ginger, which is the first UK supplement that combines active GOPO®-containing rosehip - which may play a valuable role in the care of joints and joint tissues - with extracts of the plant-based nutraceutical, Ginger, loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that may help support good joint health and muscle function. Seize the day with GOPO® Joint Health, and don’t let the cold weather hold you back from embracing the freedom of movement."

Are you prone to experiencing painful joints in the colder months? Perhaps you have a go-to exercise routine that helps you with your aches and pains? Do you swear by a particular vitamin or supplement? Or maybe you have a secret remedy that keeps you out and about?

Whatever they may be, we’d love to hear your secrets to managing a winter joint pain flare up.
