A member asked:

Would the addition of a cranberry tablet daily for prevention of kidney infections contribute at all to the knee becoming stiff and painful? thank you

Should be safe: However please be aware that cranberry tablets have very small & variable quantities of cranberry. Thus may not be very effective at preventing urinary tract infections.
